I have just
finished a study of Hell – both Hades and Gehenna. You may request a copy of my
findings.
The
conclusion is so important.
Hades is
that place after death for unbelievers – a place described by Jesus Christ as
being a place of ‘torments’
Gehenna is
that place after final judgement, where fire and brimstone implement the
punishment deserved, along with outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth.
What the
Lord identified as being the key to avoiding such horrors, is so important:
To know HIM
or rather to be known of Him.
“My sheep hear My voice and I know
them and they follow Me..
I give unto them eternal life and
they will never perish..” John 10
To not know
HIM
He will
say “ I tell you, I do not know where you have come from. Depart from Me all
you workers of evil” Luke 13:27
And so it
was that the Lord from heaven called people, and still calls, to Repent and
believe the Gospel, so that they might be saved from eternal punishment and be
saved to enjoy His company in heaven. Such was the seriousness of the
situation, that He Himself died to rescue humanity from eternal misery.
