Satan is not in Hell, and will not be there until the end of the 1000 years of Christ rule. - Rev 20:1-3
Anti-Christ and False prophet preceding Satan in Hell. Satan thrown in Hell after 1000 years. - Rev 20:7-10
Unsaved thrown into hell immediately after Satan. - Rev 20:11-15.
Matt 25:41 makes reference to Hell being "prepared" for the Devil and his angels.
As far as being with the Lord upon death, and rising to join the Lord Satan presently in Heaven serving as Chief Accuser. - Rev 12:7-12, Zech 3:1, Job 1:9-12
As far as your question about the dead in Christ shall rise, and being present with the Lord upon death. Here is my best attempt:
Your spirit is with Christ upon death. Your body is not. During the resurection of the saints, your "perfected" body will rise up and be with the Lord and your spirit. I may be wrong, but that is my understanding.
This swerves into the decision to be buried or cremated. The practice of burial is in some way a testament to the impending resurection of the saints, and cremation is the way Hindus release the "spirit" to be reincarnated. I am not saying that those choosing cremation will be denied resurection, just that it is a symbol of what to expect in the hereafter. Most choose burial or cremation on a basis other than religious. Just food for thought.
I hope this helps.
