1 | What happens to dead? | Bible general Archive 1 | Stokey | 86566 | ||
Comparing Psalm 16:10 and footnote with Acts 2:31, we see that "Sheol," or the grave is the equivalent of "Hades." See Luke 16:23, footnote, NIV. What is the condition of people in Sheol or Hades? Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10 answers: They "know nothing." Their love, hate and jealousy have "vanished." There is no "working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." (Compare Job 3:11-19; 14:10-15; Psalm 104:29; John 11:11-14, 23-25.) Luke 16:13-31 is a parable as verse 26 shows. Compare verse 31 with John 11:47-53; 12:10, 11. Isaiah 14 is talking about the death of the Babylonian world empire; compare verses 18-20. Isaiah 66:24 is merely referring to "dead bodies" burning. Jesus contrasted "hell" with "life" in Mark 9:45-48. Incidently, in these verses, "hell" is the translation of the Greek "geenna," not "hades." "Gehenna" or the "lake of fire" refers to "the second death." (Revelation 20:10, 14) |
