Jude 6
"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."

Q. Is their not keeping their first estate but leaving their own habitation the same as their being cast out of heaven to earth? (Note: the former constituted a wrong that incurred the judgment of God; the latter is the judgment for something else!)
Q. Is Jude 6 related to 2Pet 2:4? Why?

Rev 20:1-3
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 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.
