The real facts still are, words like "hell", "pit", "prison", "bottomless pit", etc., are used as symbols for a real place of separation in the Heavenly for the wicked angels, and wicked dead. Debates over the translation of geenha for hell, or Old English definitions for the word hell is not going to change that.
1 Pet 3:18-20
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
(KJV)
Christ being "quickened by the Spirit" after His death and resurrection was specifically how... He was able to go preach to those "spirits in prison". That prison is a Heavenly order prison, and not some hole in the ground.
Rev 20:7
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
(KJV)
Does God have prisons for the wicked here on earth today? Yep. Got a prison in the Heavenly also for the wicked after they die. It's associated with Satan's abode in the Heavenly.
Rev 20:2-3
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
(KJV)
Rev 17:8
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
(KJV)
Rev 9:11
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
(KJV)
Those names for that angel of the bottomless pit mean 'The Destroyer', another title for Satan himself, since he is already sentenced to perish in the future lake of fire. If an 'angel' is associated with that idea of a "bottomless pit", that cannot mean some hole in the ground nor just a mythical place, but a real place in the Heavenly.
Jude 1:6
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
(KJV)
2 Pet 2:4
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;
(KJV)
Use of the idea of 'chains' is about imprisonment. A literal place in the Heavenly for the wicked exists, like a prison, and that's what that idea of chains for those angels is in relation to.
Rev 12:7-11
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
(KJV)
That Rev.12 Scripture was not history; it is yet to happen, for it's about the future when Satan and his host of angels are cast down to this earth a second time, for the coming tribulation. We know Satan is not locked in his pit prison yet, simply because Rev.20 tells us that will happen when Christ returns. Satan's original fall from Heaven did not limit his movement, for Job 1 & 2 reveals he still has ability to appear before God's Throne in Heaven to accuse us. Rev.9 & 11 reveal his home right now is still in the Heavenly spiritual dimension, for that's where the "bottomless pit" is located. Isaiah 42:7 suggests there's wicked locked inside the pit prison in Heaven, and also some in darkness who sit outside that prison house.
Zech 9:11
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
(KJV)
Isa 42:6-7
6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
(KJV)
That referred to Christ's first coming to bring people out of spiritual darkness that were in Satan's clutch, and to release people from literal prisons on earth (Acts 16:26), but also for those "spirits in prison" He preached to after His death and resurrection. That "spirits in prison" event did not take place upon this earth. It took place in the Heavenly dimension for the dead in a Heavenly pit, a place of separation in the Heavenly away from God, just like what our Lord Jesus was showing in the Luke 16 Scripture about Lazarus and the rich man.
Isa 24:19-23
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His ancients gloriously.
(KJV)
That above is about the time right after Christ's second coming, when Satan will be locked in his prison pit for a thousand years. Evidently, he's going to have company, with those above shut up in the prison along with him, and at the end of the thousand years, God is going to pay them a little visit. This is why at the end of Rev.20 we shown a literal place called 'hell' is destined to go into the "lake of fire", revealing a literal place of holding for the wicked in the Heavenly.
