Last time, I said that God is everywhere at the same time. Someone asked me if that means God is in hell. The answer has to be yes. Hell is part of God’s creation and if God is omnipresent, He is present in hell. The way to think about this is to remember that even though God is everywhere, he acts differently in different places. For the believer, both now and in heaven, God’s presence will bring blessing. David said this in Psalm 16:11: “In your presence, there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” But for God’s enemies, His presence will bring punishment as he displays his justice. It’s God, not Satan, who created and rules over hell. So yes, he is present there.
