2 Peter 2:4 "For if God didn't spare the angels who sinned but threw them down into Tartarus and delivered them to be kept in chains of darkness until judgment;"
Jude 1:6 "And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day."
Many Bible Translators did not know what this really was and replaced it with Hell(Sheol/Hades). Tartarus is exclusive to The disobedient angels who have lost many priviledges. Satan couldn't possibly still be called god of this world and be in Hades at the same time.

(Job 2:1,2 and Revelations 2:7-9 Are two different situations and should not be confused as if they are the same event. Revelations being the later event)

2 Peter and Jude both are referencing Numbers 16. It is one of the most horrendous judgments, on men (leaders), not on heavenly beings.
ReplyDeleteThose mentioned in Numbers verse 16 never abandoned their positions. The Fallen angels did.
