Bible Question: What is the difference between hell and the abyss? Esp. considering Strong's definition of hell in translation as sheol or hades? |
Bible Answer: Hello Cuddle, My attempt to answer your query is that the word "hell" is used in the Authorized version, for different ideas, or places. 1) sheol 2) tartaros (II Peter 2:4) 3) gehenna hades (same as the Hebrew sheol of the Old Testament), tartaros, and gehenna have all been translated into the same word, Hell. sheol and hades mean the same thing—simply the grave. gehenna is derived from the Valley of Hinnom which lay just outside Jerusalem. It was the place where trash was burned . Garbage, refuse and dead bodies of animals and criminals were thrown into the fires of gehenna, or the Valley of Hinnom. Everything thrown into this valley was completely burned up, or destroyed by fire. Therefore, Christ used gehenna to describe the fate of unrepentant sinners! tartaros, occurs only once in the New Testament (II Peter 2:4) It refers to the prison of fallen angels. Translated into English, as "dark abyss," or "prison." Charis, Tim |
