Jude 6 (ESV) says:
> "And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day"
Is this saying that demons are all in jail, and we're free from them currently? I thought the consensus is that the devil and his demons are running rampant on earth doing evil things, as it says in 1 Peter 5:8 (ESV):
> Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
Which is it? Are the devil and demons currently chained in hell or are they roaming around on earth?
Thanks all.
