The article is trash, written by a poorly educated person who places their off the cuff opinion higher than historical academics and verity of His Word.
Hades has at least four compartments (Paradise/Abraham’s Bosom, Torments, Tatarus, and the Abyss), all described with locative descriptors. Hades isn’t figurative, but as real a place as any other in human experience and perception.
Hades is also recorded in Christ’s Revelations to John in the 4th seal and in the final judgment Rev 20:13-15.
It is later cast into the Lake of Fire.
I think it's a good explanation of a parable....
