START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 2 Peter 2:4

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

ANGELS … SENT THEM TO HELL / 2 PETER 2:4

In no other place in the New Testament do we find the use of the Greek term tartarus translated here as “hell.” The term was used by the Greeks to designate the place where wicked spirits were sent for punishment. It seems that Peter used the term to describe a place reserved for angels who rebelled against God at some point (possibly during the time on Noah, 2 Peter 2:5). It could also refer in general to the angels who were in partnership with Satan when he rebelled against God (Ezekiel 28:12), or the demons spoken of in the New Testament. Why some of the evil spirits are confined to “gloomy dungeons” and some are free to work with Satan on earth is not explained in Scripture (Jude 1:6).
