1 | So then, what is Hades? | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 235 | ||
In the New Testament "hell" is the translation of two words, Hades and Gehenna . The word Hades , like Sheol sometimes means merely "the grave," (Acts 2:31; 1 Corinthians 15:55; Revelation 20:13) or in general "the unseen world." It is in this sense that the creeds say of our Lord, "He went down into hell," meaning the state of the dead in general, without any restriction of happiness or misery. Elsewhere in the New Testament Hades is used of a place of torment, (Matthew 11:23; Luke 16:23; 2 Peter 2:4) etc.; consequently it has been the prevalent, almost the universal, notion that Hades is an intermediate state between death and resurrection, divided into two parts one the abode of the blest and the other of the lost. It is used eleven times in the New Testament, and only once translated "grave." (1 Corinthians 15:55) (Smith's Bible Dictionary) | ||||||

Hades is the Greek word for Hell. It is the realm in which the unsaved or unrighteous people were sent. In the old testament the Hades realm was part Hell part Paradise. When someone died if they were a sinner they went to the hell side (the lake of fire) if they were righteous they went to the paradise side (Moses, Abraham). In the new testament some scriptures refer to the lake as hell fire Mat. 5:22. So from what I see in the scriptures it is the same place. | ||||||
