Hades is where the spirits of wicked men await judgment day, hell is their eternal destiny.

My claim is the spirits of the righteous are no longer in Hades as Jesus taught in Lk.16:
He took them to heaven when He ascended Ep.4:8; because now the blood
that purchased our pardon was shed and was in heaven, Jesus has prepared the place for us.
So the spirits of righteous men are in heaven awaiting their eternal reward on the new earth. Rev.21:1ff

Satan and his fallen angels are in the abyss which Peter calls TARTARUS in 2Pet.2-4
Which Jude describes in Vs.6
