When God, the Light, uses darkness as a tool of judgment or a tool of hiding, He is basically cutting short more of Him, the Light, from the victims. The judgment or hiding from God is basically how much of God one gains or loses, manifested as how much of light one gains or loses. This loss or gain of light, which means of God, manifests in one's visions, sights, blindness, revelation, illumination, enlightenment, brilliance, confusion, ignorance, depression, nightmare, anxiety, and so on. And overall, that's what basically defines whether one is living heaven or living hell.
Someone ignorantly asserted that God spared Satan, who sinned, but punished humans who sinned by sending them to hell. Unknown to him is that Satan and demons are already living hell, in the pains of darkness, which is separation or deprivation of God, the Light, from any living thing. A life without God, the Light, is the hell or the condemnation. This is the condemnation: that the Light is in the world, but men love and live the darkness because their deeds are evil. John, chapter three, verse nineteen.
Neither Satan nor demons chose darkness, though they did or loved evil. Darkness was the first hell they fell into because they got banished from the presence of God. No living soul or spirit can bear separation from God, the Light, because the Light is the power, the life, the vitality, the revival and survival of the glories, pleasures, health, wealth, strength, and comfort of all living things. One of the differences between the Devil with his demons on one hand, and the fallen angels on the other hand, is that the Devil's team are not chained in darkness, but tormented by darkness, while the team of the fallen angels are chained, or reserved with chains of darkness. How can Satan defeat God when Satan always needs God for his health or strength to carry on? If not for the ban or casting away, Satan and demons would be attending every presentation of angels to God, because drawing closer to God, the Light, heals and rejuvenates all living, the way power recharges your phone battery.
Basically, even the kingdoms or powers of darkness are scorched and tormented by these two causes of darkness. One: the darkness caused by hiding, withdrawing, or separating God from them. And two: the darkness caused by God sending darkness as a plague or as judgment to them. As it is written:
Psalm one hundred and five, verses twenty-eight to twenty-nine: “The Lord sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against His word. He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.”
Revelation, chapter sixteen, verses ten to eleven: “And the fifth angel poured out his vial on the seat of the beast, the Antichrist; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.”
