Where is Hell written about in the Bible? I can't find it.?

Some Bible translations use the word “hell” for the Hebrew word “Sheol” and the matching Greek word “Hades,” both of which refer to the common grave of mankind.

The word "Hell" is an English word

a word that did not exist in the Biblical period or languages.

Better Bible translations either do not use it at all

or use it only in one or two passages that are not very descriptive of Hell.

However, the Christian concept of Hell

- a place or condition in which the irredeemably wicked will suffer eternal torment

is clearly DESCRIBED in the Bible. Here is one such passage, and this seems to me to be the most descriptive passage in the Bible (but note that it is NOT the only such passage)

Note that "Hell" is used ambiguously in Christianity. For some Christians "Hell" means "Hades (the land of the dead)", a "place" which is distinct from the place of eternal torment. The Bible mentions Hades several times (including in the passage above), and clearly Hades *is* the land of the dead and is *not* the same as the place of eternal torment for the wicked. In many (not all) Bible passages "Sheol" (a Hebrew word) also means "the land of the dead", and "Hades" in the New Testament can be equated with that particular meaning of "Sheol".

At Acts, the Bible says that Jesus was in hell, at Acts 2:31 it says He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. And Revelations 20:13 says And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

Hell and all of its derivatives, did not exist until Dante wrote about them in 1300.

You can either "google" it or make use of a concordance.

Hell in English is translated from the Hebrew language (Sheol) which means the grave.

Sheol is an unfamiliar term to many. It is a Hebrew word of uncertain derivation. Many religions teach that the dead are still alive, but as the inspired Word of God shows, those in Sheol are dead, without consciousness. Sheol is the common grave of mankind.

Collier’s Encyclopedia says concerning Hell: First it stands for the Hebrew Sheol of the Old Testament and the Greek Hades of the Septuagint and New Testament.

Since Sheol in Old Testament times referred simply to the abode of the dead and suggested no moral distinctions, the word hell, as understood today, is not a happy translation.”

You aren't looking very hard

Matthew 5:22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.

Hell

Did you know that the word “hell” is used 54 times in the King James Bible.

It is translated from several different words with various meanings, as indicated below:

In the Old Testament:

31 times from the Hebrew “Sheol,” which means “the grave”

In the New Testament:

10 times from the Greek “Hades,” which means “the grave”

12 times from the Greek “Gehenna,” which means “a place of burning” (This was the city dump where the dead beggars were thrown, i.e. a burial place.)

1 time from the Greek “Tartarus,” which means “a place of darkness” or abyss, specially prepared for angels that have sinned.

There is no other explanation needed.

The Lake of Fire, aka Hell-fire; What is that ?

Most people misunderstand the nature of Hell-fire. You say God doesn't HAVE to let people go there. So you think it's better for those people just to suffer in sin?

According to the Bible, Hell-fire does not yet exist, but will at the end of the Millennium.

When people die (both the righteous and the wicked they go to their grave = hell), they do not go directly to Heaven or Hell-fire, nor do they "float around" as ghosts. They both remain in the grave, in a state of "sleep" where they have absolutely no consciousness of anything, nor the passage of time, until Christ returns.

At that time, Christ will resurrect the Saved of all time back to permanent, physical life and take them with Him to Heaven, while the Wicked living at that time will be slain by the brightness of His coming.

Both they and the Wicked dead of all time shall remain dead for another 1,000 years. During that time, all life on this Earth will be dead, and Satan will be trapped here on this dark, dismal planet littered with corpses during that Millennium.

At the end of the 1,000 years, Christ will return with His Saved to judge the wicked (who will be resurrected into their old, mortal bodies), including Satan and his angels. Every person will see every sin they've ever committed.

Satan will attempt to lead them in an attack on the New Jerusalem, but then Hell-fire will rain down from Heaven and consume them all. They will be instantly and permanently incinerated, never to exist again.

They will NOT be "tortured forever", as the pagan idea of Catholicism suggests. This is not scriptural. Even Satan and his angels will be destroyed in the fires of Hell-fire; he will NOT be tending it, poking people with a pitchfork! The fire will completely cover planet Earth from pole to pole, burning up EVERYTHING, even the elements themselves, and all the ocean water will be evaporated. It will completely remove all trace of sin and sinners forever.

Once its work is finished, it will burn out on its own. Some people use the Biblical verse that says the fire will be "unquenchable", but that only means that it cannot be PUT out, but it will burn out on its own. Once this fire has burned out, then God will set about to re-creating the Earth the way it was in the Beginning - perfect, beautiful and unspoiled. Then the Saved of all time will be allowed to live on it, and build permanent homes and grow their own food. All the animals will be friendly, even former meat-eaters.

I'm really looking forward to it.
