Where is the real HELL? Is it present now or it is not yet created?

Question

I want to know from any wise man with a logical thinking and with a resources or basis the real "HELL". Anybody can give their answers as long as they know what they are talking about.

Answer 1

The word hell is an English word.
It is used most often as a translation of the word gehenna, (at least in the NASB, which is about the most accurate English translation) which is figurative of a place of torment. This is particularly evident from its use in Matthew 10:28 where Jesus warns men to fear God who has power to cast both the soul and the body into hell. The fact that the body can be thrown into hell is a clear indication He was referring to the Lake of Fire, also called the Second Death and described in Revelation 19:20; 20:10,14,15 and 21:8. Actually I believe it is already existent, as the False Prophet and the Antichrist will, in my estimation, soon be thrown into it (Revelation 19:20). The resurrected damned will also be cast into it in immortal bodies (Revelation 20:14,15).

The most common vernacular use of the word hell actually refers to another place (Hades/Sheol), also a place of torment, but a temporary place, as it is associated with the earth, which is temporary, and will be burned up in the time of the creation of a new heavens and the new earth. Actually this place itself will be thrown into the Lake of Fire according to Revelation 20:14, which I take to mean not necessarily the place itself, but the inhabitants thereof.
This is represented by the Hebrew word Sheol in the Old Testament and in the New Testament by the Greek word Hades. This is the place described by Jesus in Luke 16:19-31 in the story of the rich man and Lazarus. In that story Hades also contained a place of comfort. As I understand it, that place was vacated when Jesus descended into Hades in spirit after His death, and took its inhabitants with Him when He ascended into Heaven after His resurrection from the dead. This is referred to in I Peter 3:18,19; 4:6; and Ephesians 4:8-10.

The only other place in the NASB version of the New Testament where the word hell appears is in II Peter 2:4 where it is a translation of the verb form for the Greek word Tartarus, which is a place described by Liddell Scott in their Greek dictionary as a place as far below Hades as is Hades below the earth. It refers to a special place of punishment for a particular class of fallen angels.

Answer 2

If you read in Luke about the rich man who went to Sheol (hell) and Lazarus who was in the other part, the good side of the 2 compartmentalized place, you will read of it's reality. When Jesus died, He descended into this hell and took all the believers that were on the good side of this place to Heaven. Since then, the tormenting side remains and the good side was emptied. So, Sheol, the Hebrew name for hell remains. But at the end of the 1000 yr millenium, this hell, along with the antichrist and false prophet will be cast into the lake of eternal fire, which is the final hell. And those who are nonbelievers will be resurrected to appear before God/Jesus at the Great White Throne Judgment to give an account of their lives, including their rejecting God and His Son and will be cast into the lake of eternal fire (final hell). God bless

Answer 3

Well, i'd like to say my understand of hell is first its unimaginably hot / painful. Whatever horrible thing we can conjure up with our minds...hell is worse. There are also other things. Some of our more horrible sins will basically haunt us while the whole fire thing is going on.


i'd say it already exists....but where it exits...could have a ton of different answers.

It might be somewhere in our universe, our universe is soooo huge.

It could be in a different realm of existence. Someplace, no matter how great our technology is, we could never reach. I guess something not tangible.

It could be in a different universe. M-theory states there are tons of "parallel" universes....to help explain my other response...we could hypothetically reach these other universes with really really advance technology.

It might be a place in time...which sorta goes against me saying it already exists...but all time exists simultaneously. We as humans can only manipulate 3 dimensions and travel linearly along the "4th" dimension of time....its better to think of time as unit of length rather than seconds.....so if we are using centimeters....however we define the basis of time...we should be really say something like....in 5 centimeters i'll do this..rather than 5 seconds.
But hypothetically a higher dimensional being (there are 11 dimension ish), which could exists, could travel on the dimension of time as he wishes.
So hell in this case would already exists at a location in time we haven't yet reached.

I really dont think it matters though...but i personally don't think its in our realm of existence.

Answer 4

Adam was given dominion over this earth, nowhere else. Dead or alive, all descendants of Adam have only the earth as their dominion, we have no right to be anywhere else.

Those born into the family of God's only begotten son, have entered in to a heavenly heritage, and their souls are not bound to the earth.

Hell is described as having no bottom (bottomless pit). It's described specifically as the "heart of the earth".

The souls of those who were not "born from above" into the family of God's only begotten son must remain with the earth until the earth's last day.

The "Lake of Fire" is different from the pit, it is the future disposition for the souls who are in the pit when the earth is destroyed. It was created for Satan, but it's where those souls in the pit end up when the earth is distroyed.

Answer 5

Read the New Testament.It is in the center of this earth.Interesting how over the past decade New York has had times where a foul stench of sulfur permeates the air for a few days and then is gone.They can never figure it out.Ultimately,all lost souls along with Satan and his Fallen Angels/Demons will be cast into a future Lake of Fire.This earth will be destroyed by fire[see:2Peter].

Answer 6

Hell is located everywhere God and the Holy Spirit do not dwell.

Heaven is everywhere God and His Holy spirit dwell.

Here on Earth, the Holy Spirit is everywhere (to a greater or lesser degree). His (the Holy Spirit) presence keeps man's depravity within certain borders. If the Holy Spirit leaves the earth realm, those borders of depravity will increase and the depravity of man will be at its height. The fallen animalistic drives, that already exist in man, will manifest in man like you've never seen before. Earth would become "hell like" at that point. Ultimately, at death, those that did not trust in Christ will experience the ultimate absence of God and His Holy Spirit. That will truly be Hell.

Answer 7

I believe people keep coming back here as Sylvia Brown says on the Montel show,and as everyone knows its getting worse to live on earth with global warming,wars and disease getting harder to cure.Then you have the threat of nuclear war and unstable countries trying to get these types of weapons.So I think this earth becomes hell if that makes any sense.That's where the saying "Hell on Earth" comes from I believe.So people if you believe this version than live a righteous life and just maybe you wont come back here.

Answer 8

If you had read the Bible you would know that Hell is real and has been real since the planet Earth was made.
Also studies have been done on people that have died and been brought back to live. Everyone that tried to kill themselves went strait to Hell.

Answer 9

I feel it's your perception, based on present

life can be great or miserable

generally some say life can be hellish based on poor choices

or it can be heavenlike if you make wise choices

I'd say it could be now, or later, and you are the one that creates this possibility or keeps self in better place or even in limbo and just exist

your life, your choice, your move

Answer 10

The real Hell is that insane state of mind in which 99% of the population is.
