Hell and Damnation
The creation of hell on the first day after the fall of the angels. Since the angels are most swift and have instantaneous acts, they sinned on the first day, not long after their creation, and were immediately thrust from heaven into hell, which God prepared in the center of the earth as a prison with fire and brimstone. On the first day God divided Angels from demons, grace from sin, glory from punishment, heaven from hell.

Verse 4: And God saw the light that it was good
— Hell was created on the first day; since the angels sinned on the first day, God immediately prepared hell in the center of the earth as a prison with fire and brimstone.
"it is truer that hell was created at this point, namely on the first day; for since the Angels are most swift and have instantaneous acts, it is altogether probable that they sinned on the first day, not long after their creation, and therefore were immediately thrust from heaven into hell, which God immediately after their sin prepared for them in the center of the earth, as a prison and rack with its fire and brimstone."

— On the first day, God divided Angels from demons, grace from sin, glory from punishment, heaven from hell.
"On the first day, therefore, just as God divided light from darkness, so He divided Angels from demons, grace from sin, glory from punishment, heaven from hell."
