The name Gehenna comes from a deep narrow ravine south of Jerusalem where some Hebrew parents actually sacrificed their children to the Ammonite god, Molech, during the time of the kings (II Kin. And finally, the unsaved dead of all ages will be raised and judged at the Great White Throne by Jesus Christ and then cast into the Lake of Fire (see Rev. Then, at the end of the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ, Satan will be “cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever” (Rev. unbelieving Jews, who survive the Tribulation, will be denied entrance into the Millennial Kingdom, no doubt to join their Gentile counterparts in the “ place of everlasting fire” (Eze. Also, at Jesus Christ’s return to earth, the rebel Israelites, i.e. Joining them will be the unsaved of the nations who survive the Tribulation (Mat. The first residents of this place of righteous retribution will be the Beast (Antichrist) and the False Prophet who, at the end of the Tribulation, will be “cast alive into a lake burning with brimstone” (Rev. While there is no one in the Lake of Fire at this time, it will one day hold a vast multitude. This is the “everlasting reward” of all that die in their sins. While Hell was created for Satan and the other fallen angels, the unsaved of humanity from all ages will be with them in this place of torment where “ there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth” (Mat. 20:6,14 21:8) “a lake of fire burning with brimstone” (Rev. 2:17) the “hurt of the second death” (Rev. Gehenna is described in Scripture as a “ furnace of fire” (Mat. 8:12 25:30), we believe that it is most probably located at the farthest reaches of the creation. Because it is referred to as the place of “outer darkness” (Mat. The Lake of Fire, or Hell, is a literal place of everlasting fire that was originally created by God as a place of punishment for Satan and the angels that followed him in his rebellion against God (Mat. Before looking at these words though, we should first give our attention to the Greek word Gehenna, which is always translated hell and used in reference to the Lake of Fire. However, because Hades in the New Testament and Sheol in the Old are variously rendered hell or grave, there has been some misunderstanding about what hell and the grave are. The term “Hell” is commonly understood to mean a place of torment where the souls of the wicked go after physical death. These are Tartarus, which is found once and Gehenna, which is used twelve times. Adding to the confusion is that two other words are also translated hell in the New Testament. Hades is used eleven times, being rendered “hell” ten times and “grave” once. It is translated “the pit” three times, “the grave” thirty-one times, and “hell” thirty-one times. Sheol is found in the Bible sixty-five times. Since this confusion has led some into an erroneous understanding of what the Bible actually teaches about the intermediate state and the final state of the dead, we think that it is important that we address this subject here. There seems to be some confusion about the meaning of Hell and who goes there because of the way the Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades have been translated in our English Bibles.
