How Many of HIS Creation will He Lose to "HELL"?

If God releases satan after 1,000 years and "looseneth the prisoners" in Isaiah, psalms and leviticus, it only makes sense He will release prisoners from hell after just punishment.

I have not considered these scriptures, however they are consistent with my view that God is a "consuming fire" that consumes the chaff and dross of sinners and not the sinners themselves.

Romans 5:18-21 Seems to support this view as well, declaring that the work of Christ is greater that the work of Satan or the sin of Adam.

"Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men." "For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many (the same many) will be made righteous."

"The law was added so that trepass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

These scriptures clearly state that, just as the one act of disobedience cursed all men, likewise the one act of Christ has (in the very same way brought justification to the same all men). Paul is clearly declaring the universal reconciliation of all men.

Sin was literally imposed on the human race, so that the full purpose of God's redemption can be experienced and man be completely converted.

Romans 11:32 For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
