“Hell” is from the Hebrew word “Sheol” meaning “grave” And three Greek words. “Hades” means “Grave” , “Gehenna” meaning “city Dump” and Taranac meaning “Angel’s prison “. There is nothing after death unless you are saved. Hell is a non existence.
Luk 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; Luk 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Luk 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
And I remember a Sunday School teacher, who told us of the ancient city dump referred to as Gehanna, was also kept on fire to burn the trash, and before the Jews came, the pagans threw their unwanted babies into that dump where they burned in the fire. Thus the ‘fires of hell, aka Gehanna.” As for the burning, I can only say that I remember the big trash dump at the Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany, was always burning.
