Thanks for your accurate further treatment of this question. I was afraid that in going into much more deatail in that response, it would have been too long. Taking up the tale is much appreciated.

Here is a further table regarding the localization of the unhappy places (neglecting the grave, and recognizing that Paradise/Abraham's Bosom are supposed to have been joined to the third (God's) Heaven:

Nice site. Thanks.

I’ve seen Wittman’s chart re: kingdom of heaven vs kingdom of God. I used it as guidance for a few years, but then found some differing perspectives, also well documented in Scripture. I need to give that one some more study.
