It's a 30,000 foot perspective. This place-- earth, this physical realm is that plane where spirits fall (from the heavenly realm) and become flesh. It's where the spirit is held captive- truly, a prison planet. It is 'the dying place' -- the abode of the dead, the grave-yard, the tomb, and where the fires burn and consume. And we humans are the consumers. This is the place where nothing lasts, everything rots and decays, ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
But-- when we die, the spirit- having served a life sentence, returns to God and stands before Him for judgment based upon the record of that life, a single soul story of personal human experience. And as much as this place is a tomb, it is also a womb-- a place of new beginnings, of second, and subsequent chances to get it right and to do better. It's also a battlefield and a place of service for those that belong to the Father, and who go where He sends them, even to this pit of hell, to minister and share the good news of a savior who himself came to serve and minister in this same place, preaching and teaching truth, a message of love, and the hope of reward and rescue from this circumstance we find ourselves trapped in.
