Why I Don't Believe Hell is Satan's Kingdom

I remembered a misconception I kept for some time that Satan is the ruler of Hell until I started reading and studying more of the Bible. It's a popular misconception that sadly, some Christian publications tend to portray Satan as the ruler of Hell when he isn't. It's even worse that some Christian comics even portray Satan and his demons having fun torturing the unsaved people in Hell. But the more I read the Bible the more I see that Hell isn't even Satan's domain. So why are some Christian publishers thinking that Satan rules Hell in the first place? 

Do you want to know where Satan is now? Why don't you read the Bible instead of watching secular entertainment that portrays Satan as the ruler of Hell? Why keep thinking about the cartoons where Satan waits for the damned and laughs evilly as they fall into Hell? Those scenes aren't biblical and they are created by lost people. After doing some reading on Ephesians 6:12 that the wicked powers are in the high places. Ephesians 2:2 calls Satan the prince of power of the air. 1 Peter 5:8 says that Satan is still roaming around on Earth seeking whom he can destroy. He's not in Hell right now with his demons nor is he even in charge of it.

I don't think it would make sense for Satan to be in Hell right now and ruling it as his kingdom. The reason is what justice would it be to kick Satan out of Heaven and give him Hell as his new kingdom? It wouldn't do any justice if Satan and his demons are in Hell right now having a good time torturing the unsaved. Isaiah 14:12-17 says that Satan will have no position in Hell. They aren't dragging the souls of the damned to Hell and throwing them down into the fire. Hell was prepared for the Devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41). If Hell was a place that won't torture Satan and his army then what's the use of preparing it for them in the first place? If I were Satan I wouldn't fear going to Hell if I could have enjoy torturing people for all eternity. But he has every reason to fear because he knows he won't enjoy Hell. He wants to drag more people down to Hell with him not so he can have a good time but because he wants people to share in his inevitable torment. 

After reading more about Hell it comes to my mind that Satan can't even enjoy such a place of torment. I don't think he'll even have a pitchfork with him. Revelation 20:10 also says that one day Satan will be in the Lake of Fire. Satan wouldn't dread going to the Lake of Fire if he could have a good time enjoying all the unsaved. But he knows his time is short and in time he will no longer have a kingdom. Satan will be cast into the Lake of Fire where he will have no power or authority over anyone. He will just be another person doomed to everlasting torment.
