When Jesus comes, we saw that the righteous were taken to Heaven to be with Him. We also saw that all the wicked were killed by the brightness of His coming, and we saw that the earth was also destroyed to the extent that Jeremiah said the Earth was without form and void. No man is left alive on the earth. In fact, the dead bodies of the wicked are found over the whole surface of the earth. Of course there is no one to bury them because no one is left alive.
Now, we see that Satan is put into a bottomless pit and is bound for a thousand years.
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Revelation 20:1-3.
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Jude 1:6
Some believe that the righteous people will reign with Jesus on earth during this time, so they think Satan must be somewhere else. However, it is very clear from the Bible that no one will be left alive on the earth during the thousand year period. There is no one that Satan could deceive or tempt. So the earth could very well be the pit that Satan is placed in. It would be a fitting place for Satan to view the destruction of cities and man and think what he has done.
