Thanks for sparing me the time to write all that. Well said.
One minor point of disagreement: The Pit is not physically within the Earth IMHO. It is collocated but not physically here. Again, JMHO.
The major point is that Satan, that Old Liar, the Devil, has not yet been incarcerated on the sides of the Pit. He is here, on the earth, commanding his kingdom, his demons, and his enslaved children who occupy prestigious roles throughout the earth. Are you not aware of this?
I tend to take things literally. ;)
