Hell

[Kopane Mabasa]

Knowing that hell is real matters. The bible describes what hell is like.

Knowing where it is doesn't, even if that's where one wants to go.

hell is here on earth, read Revelation 20:9

pray before you read the bible, it is God's word talking to you directly.

God bless.

Does it matter to know about hell?

Absolutely.

What you know about hell is having a profound impact on what happens to you in the end of time / life to come.

I respectfully disagree with you when you say i must only focus on salvation and not hell, focusing only on heaven is incomplete. You must also learn the other side. I know that hell is a sensitive subject and most of us have misconceptions and confusing thruth about hell.

Now you need not panic at all, take a deep breath, then sit back and relax. I will help and assist those of you who are in the dark about this subject of hell.

Please post your questions on this subject of hell. I will prepare to answer your questions as they come along.

I agree with you about hell. If it is a part of the word of God it is important enough to study about. Every single part of the word of God is relevant.

In both the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts the word that we know as hell has deferent names and different meanings. In the Greek hell has three diferent names and three different sections. They are Gaheena, Tartorus or tartoro and hades and they are all in the lower regions of the earth.

Does any body knows where hell is ?

Hi.

Hell is mentioned in many dozens of Scriptures throughout the Bible, in fact there are five departments in the underworld of departed Spirits, and not one of these places is associated with or is the grave where bodies are buried.

These five departments are;

One). Paradise; In Luke 16:19-31; 23:43, we have pictured total comfort and water in this prison because the rich man saw Lazarus afar off in comfort and bliss and asked him to dip his finger in water and cool his tongue (Luke 16:19-31). This was the abode of the righteous souls from Adam after dying and leaving their bodies, being held captive by the devil against their wills till Christ's death and resurrection (Heb. 2:14-15; Eph. 4:7-11). Before Jesus Christ conqured the power of death and Hell, the devil had these powers. (Col. 2:14-17; Heb. 2:14-15; Rev. 1:18).

It was into this prison the repentant thief went with Christ the day they both died (Luke 23:43). This prison is located in the heart of the Earth as is clear from Matt. 12:40 and Eph. 4:7-11. Jesus not only went into this prison but He also went into another prison, "Tartarus," and preached to the fallen angels being held there in their own special prison. Jesus having conqured Hell and death and the grave during His crucifiction and during the three days He was in the underworld, He captured all the righteous souls that were in Paradise and took them to Heaven when He ascended on high (Eph. 4:7-11). Jesus now has the keys to Hell and death (Rev. 1:18).

Two). Tartarus; This prison is the special prison for the fallen angels that sinned both before and after the flood. There is nothing recorded in Scripture that teaches demons or human beings ever go into this prison. In these passages it is clear that there is a real Hell that is not the grave and that Spirit beings are confined in chains until judgment (1 Pet. 3:19; 2 Pet. 2:4; Jude 6-7).

Three). Hell itself; (Matt. 16:18; Luke 16:19-31). This is the torment part in the unseen world and was, still is, and will yet be the abode of all the wicked souls and spirits of men from Able to the end of the Millennium. Then, at this time all the wicked will be liberated out of this prison and will be given their own immortal bodies and be judged before being cast into the "lake of fire" forever (Rev. 20:11-15; 21:8).

Four). The Bottomless Pit or Abyss is the abode or prison of demons and certain angelic beings. No human being is ever thrown into the abyss. It is a very deep chasm in the lower parts of the Earth. It is translated "deep" (Luke 8:26-31; Romans 10:7) and "Bottomless Pit" in Rev. 9:1-3, 11; 11:7; 17:8; 20:1-10). All these Scriptures prove that there are prisons in the lower parts of the Earth for departed sinning spirits, and they are not and could never be the same as a grave on the surface of the Earth.

And Five). The Lake of Fire, is the eternal Hell and perdition of wicked men, demons, fallen angels, and all rebellious creatures of all ages who have ever rebelled against God, and who have refused to repent when they could have. It is called "The Gehenna of Fire" and is always translated Hell (Matt. 5:22, 29, 30; 10:28; 18:9; 23:15, 33; Mark 9:43-45, 47; Luke 12:5; James 3:6). This prison is also called "the second death, which is the lake of fire" (Rev. 2:11; 20:6, 14). This final Hell was prepared for the devil and all his angels (Matt. 25:41-46), and for all other rebells, and it is ETERNAL in duration (Rev. 14:9-14; 20:10-15; Isa. 66:22-24; Matt. 25:46). There is no record in Scripture of anyone being the lake of fire at present. Scripture does show that the beast and the false prophet will be the first to be cast into it. This will happen before the Millennium (Rev. 19:20). They will still be there 1,000 years later when the devil and all other rebells will be cast into it (Rev. 20:10-15).

Scripture shows that there will be degrees of punishment in Hell as far as remorse and torment of the conscience is concerned (Matt. 10:15; 11:22; 12:41; 23:14; Mark 6:11; 12:40; Luke 10:14; 11:31, 32; 20:47). These degrees of punishment will be because of the kind of sins comitted by one that were not comitted by another. No man will be punished or could have remorse over something he did not do. They will all regret rebelling against God and man and failing to believe in Jesus, and repenting of sin.

hell is here on earth, Revelation 20:9

[Guest man]

hell is here on earth, Revelation 20:9

Revelation 20

9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.

Fire coming out of the sky is not hell..........sorry.

And if it is as you believe, how do you explain this?

Revelation 20

14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

But again, Heaven and Hell aren't what we should be focusing on. It it JESUS we are to focus on.

so you choose what to read in the Bible?

I've read the entire Bible.

The way you are handling this is a poor way to conduct a discussion.

The answer is contained in the Bible, read Revelation 20:9 it says that hell is here on earth.

Not sure how you got Hell out of that verse?

It is not me, it is the scripture.

Well, you are going to have to explain that one . . . because you are obviously reading something that the rest of us are not.

Please let me know if you still contradict the scripture.

God Bless

Please let me know if we are reading the same Scripture.

Let us both agree that, as we speak, there is no fire burning right now in that hell that you are refering to/ that you are currently believing in.

Surely if that is true, then there will be no purpose at all for the ressurection/ judgement.

So now that fire coming down, will be switching hell ON, that is that will be fire for hell.

Are you talking about rev 20:14? Im sorry but you don't make sense at all. I showed you in my post how it is not possible for hell to be on earth right now.

Is there fire in hell right now as we speak?

Or does hell not exist yet?
