Bible Note: Hi Theresa and thanks for your note. However... Eph 4:9 doesn't mention Hell. Mat 12:40 doesn't mention Hell. Psm 63:9 doesn't mention Hell. And in your examples of Is 14:9, Pr 9:18, Pr 15:24 and Ez 31:14-18 the word translated "Hell" is the Hebrew "Sheol" which simply means "grave", not what you'd think of as "Hell". For examples of this, note that the word "grave" used in Ps 30:3, Is 14:11and15, Is 38:10and18, Pr 1:12 and Ez 31:15 is actually the same word as "Hell", but it just means grave. If nothing else, it's a good word study, but I will leave it at that! God bless and goodnight, Dr. B. |
