Where do evil angels dwell?

The abode of fallen angels is Hades, sometimes called “the fetters of darkness.” But until the judgement day comes, they enjoy a degree of freedom and are allowed to wage war on humanity (2 Cor. 2:11; 1 John 3:12).

The apostle Paul says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Eph. 6:12). And the apostle Peter says, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet. 5:8). It was said of Judas’ betrayal: “the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him” (John 13:2). Hence the words: “For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8).
