Okay so Lucifer obviously upset his sky-daddy, is demoted from being an angel permanently, is cast down to rule an entire sector of the afterlife called Hell which we come to know where all damned souls go after they die.

What is the logic of God practically awarding Lucifer an entire realm for him to rule on his own and nearly contest God’s power?

That’s like imprisoning someone to home confinement when they live in a mansion.

    In the book of Apocalypse/Revelation that’s 2 places, there’s the Land of the Dead, and the Lake of Fire; it tells the former will be thrown into the latter at the very end of things, after the Land of the Dead has been emptied.

      Ah, this is the book I remember the least of and that confused me the most. But now I also kind of remember something from another NT book talking about burning bad crops or something like that…

      The burning part fits the typical hell depictions a bit.
