Bible Question: Sorry, I must have worded my question wrong. What I am asking is: Some people say that Hell is a place burning with fire, others say it is the grave. If it is a place burning with fire and people are there now, why would God take you out of the fire of Hell to throw you in the "Lake of Fire" in Revelation 20:14. Thank you -winningside |
Bible Answer: Word Study ... Sheol, Gehenna, Tartaroo, Hades ... God's day to you, winningside, No problem. It is my fault for not understanding. The English word hell in the Bible depends on the translation. There is one Hebrew word and three Greek words. In KJV, we see hell in Isaiah 5:14 - Sheol (Strong's 07585). NIV says grave. - translated grave 31 times, hell 31, pit 3. NAS says Sheol each time. - it is from Shaal (Strong's 07592) which means to ask, enquire, borrow, beg Matthew 10:28 usually has the word hell, which is Gehenna (Strong's 1067) in the Greek. - This was originally the valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem, where the filth and dead animals of the city were cast out and burned; a fit symbol of the wicked and their future destruction. - It is from two Hebrew words -- Gay' (Strong's 01516) valley, a steep valley, narrow gorge -- Hinnom (Strong's 02011) which may be the same valley and means lamentation The KJV has hell in 2 Peter 2:4, which is Tartaroo (Strong's 5020) - The ancient Greeks named it for the dark subterranean region, the abode of the wicked dead, where they suffer punishment for their evil deeds. It is like the Gehenna of the Jews. Then there is this passage (Rev 20:13-14), where we see the word hell in the KJV and Hades in the NAS and NIV. It is the word Hades (Strong's 86). - It is from the negative form of Eido (Strong's 1492) to see. Notice that death and hell was cast into the "Lake of Fire" A few links to consider http://www.thewordsofeternallife.com/hell.html http://what-the-hell-is-hell.com/HellStudy/HellCharts.htm http://ecclesia.org/truth/hell.html ... the latter even breaks down the number of times hell is used. For me hell is the place where one is separated from God forever. Searcher |
