Bible Question:
Hi, When was Hell created and by whom, and the purpose for it at that time? Your comments , please. FytRobert. |
Bible Answer: I don't remember a particular scripture that says when hell was created. Doing a little research on the word hell, shows that in the OT KJV translates Sheol and Hades as hell. In the Greek the word Gehenna is translated into hell (Gehenna means vale of Hinnom). OT there was children sacrifice going on in that location until King Josiah put an end to it in 2 Kings 23. In the NT it was a garbage dumb just outside of Jerusalem. All the waste was thrown there and burnt. As you can imagine there were maggots and other nasty bugs/creatures there consuming the waste. Hope that helps some, maybe someone that has researched the topic a little farther than I can enlighten both of us. (Eph 3:9 ESV) and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things, |
