Hades and Hell are the same as Sheol and Gehenna. Hebrew and Greek and English. Yes I know that Gehenna was the valley of Hinnom where babies were sacrificed and judgment was declared on it and it became a burning trash dump but it was a word used to represent the hade, sheol, hell of the afterlife for the wicked dead.
The wicked go there. Then one day at the final judgment and resurrection of the wicked dead all of those in hell are brought before the judgment and declared guilty and cast into the Lake of Fire. Hell is cast there in that sense of all it's occupants.
The Lake of Fire becomes their final destination. Consider Hell the county Jail and the Lake of Fire the Prison Farm. But one day all the County Jails are emptied, judged, and the occupants go to the final maximum security prison farm. But of course it is much worse than that but this explains how Hell is cast into the Lake of Fire.
“Hades and Hell are the same as Sheol and Gehenna. Hebrew and Greek and English.”
yes I completely agree often the new testsment greek uses a different word from the Aramaic or Hebrew nice to texts , but it’s common understanding it’s part of the translation process to English
I’ve honestly never understood a lot of value in which word is used “ hades “ “ hell “ “ Sheol “ ect even “ outer darkness “
it’s all referring to a spiritual place after we die that’s completely separated from God , from peace , from light.
it’s also referred to as a “ spiritual prison “ the pit “ in other places in scripture in my own view I’m looking at the concept of this place rather than if a Hebrew , Aramaic or Greek word isnised to name the place it’s what we learn about this place that’s important in my view not what it’s called or which languages word is chosen as it’s name
in my own view and that’s all I have is what I myself believe from scripture the importance is to accept place after a person dies where we can be at peace with the lord forever or a place where we can never have rest or peace where torments go on and thirst is never quenched , where the flame never ceases and “their worm never dies “
clearly the Bible teaches of these two places for after a person dies it’s the reaping of what was sown in life if we sow evil well harvest that reward if we turn and sow good we will harvest eternal life with the lord
the lake of fire is definately sort of a final step to hell hell
Itself is emptied and cast into the lake of fire along with death
what I find interesting is after this immediately we see a new heaven and earth d the old is gone passed away never to be remembered again also death is finally destroyed after it’s cast into the flames with hell itself
so you have this action
“And
death and
hell were
cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was
cast into the lake of fire.”
Revelation 20:14-15 KJV
and then you have this result
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for
the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and
there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
for
the former things are passed away.”
Revelation 21:1, 4
if there is no more death , pain , sorrow or tears how can there be a group that’s eternally being tormented in the presence of God ?
it seems as though hell leads up to the final jidgement , at that point hell is emptied me everyone is judged some inherit the kingdom of eterbal
Life the new creation and others seem to pass away like death ends when it’s cast into the fire .
I’m beginning to see things I never saw about this subject, and I think it’s important that none of us can actually prove our theory but if we open our mind to consideration it may change due to scripture and other peoples perceptions that we might miss
I’m starting to think hell and torment ends with the first creation but again not really sure still open
