Hell was primarily created by God as a place for Satan and his demons (who are rebellious, fallen angels). Satan was originally created as God’s most powerful angelic being. 12 However, He rebelled against God and convinced one third of the angels (now referred to as demons) to join him. 11 Michael, an archangel of God, fought with God’s angels against Satan and his angels, with Satan losing the battle and being cast from heaven down to earth. 11
However, Satan wasn’t finished in his rebellion against God. Satan took on the form of a snake in the garden of Eden to tempt Eve. 11, 12 Eventually, Satan will continue in his rebellion against God and attempt to take over the world through the “beast” (world ruler) and a false prophet described in the book of Revelation. 13, 14 Joined by human armies, Satan’s rebellious cohorts will be destroyed at the battle of Armageddon at which time the beast and false prophet will be thrown into the Lake of Fire 15 (hell). Satan will be imprisoned for 1,000 years, 16 during the millennial reign of Jesus Christ on earth with His saints. 17 At the end of that period, Satan will be released for a short period of time, deceive the leaders of the world again, and convince them to attack Jesus and His rule on the earth. 18 Satan will lose again and be thrown into the Lake of Fire to “be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” 19 Following Satan’s demise, the saints of Jesus Christ will judge the angels who joined him in rebellion, 20 who will also be sent to the Lake of Fire.
Those who reject Jesus Christ cannot enter into the presence of God, 8 and so must be separated from Him 21 until the white throne judgment. 22 The Bible gives several lists of people who will not be in heaven. 23 A summary of the activities that keep 
people out of heaven is listed in the table below.
The list is fairly extensive and includes some things that all of us have done. At the end of the first creation we will appear before the great white throne of God. 22 God will go through the “books” to see if we have committed any of the deeds listed in the table above. 23 In addition, the names will be checked to see if they are written in the book of life. 22 Anyone whose name is not found in the book of life 24 will be thrown into the lake of fire, based upon the evil deeds that they had done in their lives. 25 God does not grade on the curve, so all people who have been guilty of any one of the violations above and whose names are not in the book of life will be sent to the lake of fire, which is the second death. 26
Only those whose moral record is perfect or those who have been made righteous (i
If you have committed any of the violations of God’s laws listed above, you should expect to go to the lake of fire. As with any transgression of law, we are convicted on the basis of our guilt with regard to the crime. The good things that we have done do not change or impact the charge for which we stand trial. e., based upon the moral perfection of Jesus Christ) will escape the great white throne judgment.
Conclusion
Those who are sent to hell are restrained through punishment so that they won’t be able to torture others. Even so, it will not be a pleasant place, with the likes of Satan, demons, mass murderers, serial killers, etc. If you don’t think that you will like it in hell, try heaven instead. However, you are not going to get there on the basis of the “good” things you have done in your life, but through belief in Jesus Christ. 27 Click here to find out how to get there.
