Is Satan already in hell?

Nope...

When did the battle between angels and devils take place?

It hasn't taken place yet...

We cannot answer these questions unless we keep in mind that hell is more a state of mind than a place.

Then there's no need of a bodily resurrection...Then Jesus isn't really in Heaven...It doesn't exist...It's a state of mind...

Place and time are different concepts for spirits

We cannot answer these questions unless we keep in mind that hell is more a state of mind than a place.

Obviously you don't believe Heaven and Hell are real so you claim that qualifies you to be able to answer those questions...So let's hear it...

You are getting really metaphysical here. First of all, we know that God is outside of time, so all times are the present for God. Secondly, the question of whether heaven and hell are physical spaces (not necessarily the same thing as real places) is the same line of thinking as the Medieval argument regarding the number of angels who could dance on the head of a pin. The question is whether the spiritual occupies physical space or not. This is not a question of spiritual reality or the reality of heaven or hell, but simply whether they exist in space and time.

It’s all very simple really...
