tartarus is mentioned only once in the bible (2 peter 2.4.5)?

Question

where is tarturus and what dwells there

Answer 1

“The word tartaroo (used only once in the bible), used by Peter, very closely resembles tartarus, a word used in Grecian mythology as the name for a dark abyss or prison. But tartaroo seems to refer more to an act than to a place. The fall of the angels who sinned (2 Pet. 2:4) was from honor and dignity, into dishonor and condemnation, and the thought seems to be—"God spared not the angels who sinned, but degraded them, and delivered them into chains of darkness."

Answer 2

Tartarus Bible

Answer 3

The word “Tartarus” is also used in pre-Christian heathen mythologies. In Homer’s Iliad this mythological Tartarus is represented as an underground prison ‘as far below Hades as earth is below heaven.’ In it were imprisoned the lesser gods, Cronus and the other Titan spirits.
The Tartarus of the Bible is not a place but a condition and, therefore, is not the same as this Tartarus of Greek mythology. However, it is worth noting that the mythological Tartarus was presented not as a place for humans but as a place for superhuman creatures. So, in that regard there is a similarity, since the Scriptural Tartarus is clearly not for the detention of human souls (compare Matthew 11:23) but is only for wicked superhuman spirits who are rebels against God.

The condition of utter debasement represented by Tartarus is a precursor of the abyssing that Satan and his demons are to experience prior to the start of the Thousand Year Reign of Christ. This, in turn, is to be followed after the end of the thousand years by their utter destruction in “the second death.”—Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:1-3, 7-10, 14.

Answer 5

tartarus is less well known than hades in greek mythology. It is a place of darkness where mighty evil spirits were chained, just as mentioned in the biblical passage. I read that somewhere, can't remember the source though. There are some people who refuse to accept that the bible was ever in any language besides English, so please excuse any ignorant answers reflecting that.

Answer 6

In Greek mythology, Tartarus is the very darkest part of Hades--in modern Christian terms, the ninth circle of Hell. No, actually worse than that. It's the primeval darkness and chaos from which the world was born. Peter is probably using it as a term that his readers would understand, rather than just saying "the worst part of hell".

Answer 7

2 Peter was written originally in Greek. 1st century Greek used three words for abodes of the dead: Hades, Elysium and Tartaros. Without too much loss of accuracy we can translate Elysium as 'heaven' and Tartaros as 'hell' because the former was a pleasing idyll and the latter a place of ingenious and fiendish torment for wicked souls. Hades was simply the abode of the dead; we have no concept for that in English except 'the grave'--which doesn't convey the same sense, because that term depicts the dead as asleep, not dwelling, in their individual graves. In Christian mythos the nearest concept to Hades is probably Limbo. In most bibles, Tartaros is translated as 'hell' in 2 Peter 2:4. The editors of yours apparently chose not to translate.

Answer 8

Your correct that tartarus is mentioned only once in the bible. That is the version of hell where fallen angels (demons) went to be tortured by causeing them to be bodyless spirits. Demon's despirately long to have physical bodies again. The best they can get is to possess unsaved humans. Being fallen angels , however , they can't resist torturing the people they possess. Inhabiting people is the only relief they get from the hell of being bodyless.

Answer 9

There is no tartarus mentioned but here is one prophecy that might interest you....
Apparently you have fulfilled it:

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who shall privately bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, bring swift destruction upon themselves". (2 Peter 2:1),

Answer 10

That word is not in the Bible.Hell is..(See Luke 16:19-31)God bless.
