Bible Answer: Greetings Valu83, In addition to jlpandilinan answer I would like to add: There is a fourth name used in the RSV in 2Pet. 2:4 - Tartarus; The greek text uses a verb form of the classical name Tartarus meaning consigning to Tartarus. In classical thought Tartarus was the lowest part of the underworld and a place of punishment over against Elysium, the place of the blessed. It signifies a place of punishment for the wicked. (Eerdman's Bible Dictionary) Hell, the location of the "furnace of fire" is also described as a place where there will be "wailing and gnashing of teeth" (Matt 13:49-50). Luke 16:23 states that hell is a place of "torments". Rev 9:1-3 describes it as a "bottomless pit" where when the shaft was opened there arose "smoke like the smoke of a great furnace" that caused the "sun and the air to be darkened". Out of this smoke "locusts that were given authority over the scorpions of the earth". Rev 14:10-11 states that hell is a place of "torment with fire and sulfur" with "smoke of their torment that goes up forever and ever". Rev 19:20 calls it a "lake of fire that burns with sulfur". Rev 21:8 adds that it also burns with "brimstone". Rev 13:8 says that "anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life will be thrown into that lake of fire". prayon |
