to the Bible we all know that as Believers in Christ we will enter Paradise after death a topic we'll explore in Greater detail in another video but what actually happens to those who don't believe in God fortunately the Bible provides clear answers to understand we must recognize that what we commonly think of as hell is not just one place but actually comprises three distinct Realms let's start with a story Jesus tells about the rich man and Lazarus which will help us grasp this concept will provide a brief summary but for the full story check the

link in the description below in Luke 16:1 1931 Jesus shares a powerful narrative about two men a wealthy man and a poor man named Lazarus the rich man enjoyed a life of luxury while Lazarus covered in sores lay at the rich man's gate longing for the scraps from his table when both men died their Fates were dramatically reversed Lazarus the poor man was was carried by angels to a place of comfort and rest known as Abraham's bosom often interpreted as Paradise the rich man however found himself in Hades a place of Torment despite being in

the same general Realm of the Dead a great Chasm separated them preventing the rich man from crossing over to where Lazarus was desperate the rich man cried out to Abraham for Mercy asking him to s send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool his tongue for he was tormented in Flames but Abraham reminded him that during his lifetime he had received good things while Lazarus had endured evil now their roles were reversed and the gulf between them was fixed making it impossible to cross this story reveals the agony of the

rich man's situation tormented by flames and longing for even a drop of water it also illustrates that there is no Crossing between the comfort of paradise and the torment of Hades now let's delve deeper in the Old Testament Hades is often translated as Shel the realm of the Dead a place where all souls go after death however as we see in The Story of Lazarus and the rich man not All Souls experience the same fate in ha in ancient Jewish understanding shol was where the dead awaited final judgment both the righteous and the unrighteous went

there but their experiences were vastly different for example in psalm 16 King David expresses his deep trust in God to preserve life from Death stating for you will not leave my soul in shol nor will you allow your Holy One to see corruption this verse suggests that even the righteous went to Shel but awaited their Deliverance furthermore Enoch who had visions of different Heavenly Realms believed that the spirits of the unrighteous are held in a place of great pain awaiting the day of judgment the book of jasher which speaks of the wicked descending into a

dark place filled with sorrow and suffering reinforces the idea that shol or ades is not a place of rest for those who have lived in defiance of God in summary the first part of hell is in Hades known as a place of Torment for those who do not believe in Christ Hades is a realm of suffering a foretaste of the final judgment to come the rich man's experience gives us a glimpse of what this torment is like being tormented in Flames where relief is unattainable and the suffering is endless the Bible also describes Hades as

a place of regret and despair shol or Hades represents the first aspect of Hell a place of conscious torment where the unrighteous are separated from the righteous awaiting the final judgment it is a place of fire regret and unending pain where the consequences of a life lived apart from God are fully realized the torment in Hades is just a Prelude to the final Eternal punishment that awaits after the day of judgment next we'll explore the second part of Hell Tartarus this place is described as a prison for fallen angels and demons a realm of even

deeper darkness and torment Tartarus is mentioned in both biblical and extra biblical texts as a place of severe punishment in Greek standing Tartarus was a deep Abyss used as a dungeon of Torment for the wicked the Bible adopts this concept to let's take a closer look at where certain fallen angels are held until the day of judgment in second Peter we find a passage that says for if God did not spare the Angels who sinned but cast them down to Hell and delivered them into chains of Darkness to be reserved for judgment the word hell

in this verse is actually translated from the Greek word Tartarus here Peter explains that God did not spare these rebellious Angels but instead cast them into Tartarus a place of deep Darkness where they are bound in Chains awaiting their final judgment The Book of Enoch adds more details about Tartarus it describes the fall of certain Angels often called the Watchers who descended to Earth and took human wives resulting in the birth of the Nephilim due to their Disobedience these Angels were Bound by God and thrown into a place of deep Darkness consistent with the Tartarus

described by Peter in the Book of Enoch it is written that the Lord commanded the angel Raphael to bind Azazel one of the leaders of these fallen angels and cast him into dark Ness making an opening in the desert of dudel and throwing him there Ed zazil was covered with Jagged rocks and left in darkness never to see the light again this scene closely mirrors Peter's description of Tartarus where the rebellious angels are imprisoned another reference to this concept is found in the Gospel of Luke specifically in Luke 8331 In this passage Jes Jesus encounters

a man possessed by demons in the region of the josim when Jesus asks the man's name he replies Legion because many demons had entered him the demons then begged Jesus not to send them into the abyss which can be understood as Tartarus The Book of Enoch and Peter's epistle both describe how these fallen angels are kept in Tartarus awaiting final judgment this concept is not just a creation of apocryphal texts it is acknowledged in the New Testament as the place where God's judgment on these rebellious Angels is executed Jude 1:6 reinforces this by stating and

the angels who did not keep their proper domain but left their own Abode he has reserved in Everlasting chains under Darkness for the Judgment of the great day the torment experienced in Tartarus is said to be even more intense than the suffering in Hades while Hades is where the souls of the unrighteous dead await judgment Tartarus is reserved for the Fallen Angels who committed grave sins against God the fact that these angels are held in Tartarus highlights the severity of their rebellion and the seriousness of their punishment we've now covered shol or Hades the place

where the souls of the unrighteous await judgment and Tartarus the abyss where fallen angels are held in Chains now let's explore the most terrifying part of Hell the Lake of Fire this is the final destination for all who do not believe in Christ the place of ultimate and eternal punishment the Lake of Fire is described as the final place of Torment for the wicked after the day of judgment unlike shol or Hades which are temporary holding places the Lake of Fire is permanent this is the hell most people think of a place of Eternal fire

torment and separation from God the Book of Revelation paints a clear picture of this final judgment stating then I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away way and there was found no place for them and I saw the dead small and great standing before God and books were opened and another book was opened which is The Book of Life and the dead were judged according to their works by the things which were written in the books the sea gave up the Dead

who were in it and death and Hades delivered up the Dead who were in them and they were just judged each one according to his works then death and Hades were cast into the Lake of Fire this is the second death and anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire this passage from Revelation emphasizes the finality and severity of the Lake of Fire as the ultimate punishment for those who are not found in the Book of Life the final judgment is described as the moment when death and

Hades themselves are cast into the Lake of Fire a place known as the second death signifying a final and irreversible State anyone whose name isn't found in the book of life will be thrown into this Lake where they will face Eternal punishment The Book of Enoch offers a vivid depiction of the fate of the wicked describing a blazing fire reserved for the unrighteous and the Fallen Angels this fire is unquenchable and the torment experienced there is beyond anything imaginable in Enoch 54 it is written that on that great day the archangels Michael Gabriel Raphael and

fuel will seize the wicked and cast them into a burning furnace so the Lord of spirits may take Vengeance on them for their unrighteousness in following Satan and leading others as stray this furnace described as the Lake of Fire is where God's Wrath is fully Unleashed upon those aligned with Satan it's crucial to understand that no one is currently in the Lake of Fire this place of ultimate punishment is reserved for after the final judgment as Revelation 2014 states only after this judgment will death Hades and all whose names are not in the Book of

Life be cast in into the Lake of Fire Revelation also mentions that the Beast and the false prophet who deceived many will be captured and cast alive into this Lake burning with Brimstone the Lake of Fire is depicted as a place of unimaginable torment unlike the temporary suffering in Hades the punishment here is eternal where the fire is never quenched and the pain never ends in mark 9 Jesus warns about the severity of this place saying that it is better to lose a hand than to be thrown into hell where the fire is never quenched

and the worm Never Dies this vivid imagery illustrates a terrifying scene of endless Decay and burning a place of Eternal suffering for the soul as we've discussed the Lake of Fire isn't a current destination for the dead but a future reality after the day of judgment Revelation 20 makes it clear that only after the final judgment will the unrighteous be cast into this Lake this serves as a sobering reminder that the choices we make in this life have eternal consequences Revelation 20110 further states that after the final battle Satan himself will be cast into the

Lake of Fire where he will join the Beast and the false prophet this moment will Mark the ultimate defeat of evil and the beginning of eternal torment for all who have opposed God the Lake of Fire is the final destination for all who reject Christ a place of Eternal punishment burning with fire and brimstone where suffering never ends even the mightiest of beings including Satan will be tormented day and night forever when someone dies today they do not go directly to the Lake of Fire which is often thought of as hell instead those who do

not believe in Christ go to Hades specifically to the tormenting portion of it this is a place of suffering and regret where Souls wait in anguish until the final Judgment Day in contrast those who have followed Christ and lived righteously are taken to the other side of Hades a place of peace and comfort often referred to as Paradise here they wait peacefully until Judgment Day free from the torment that the unrighteous endure Tartarus as we've discussed is a separate place within hell reserved for higher beings Fallen Angels who have sinned against God they are bound

in Chains of Darkness awaiting their own final judgment finally after Judgment Day both humans and these higher beings who have rejected God will be cast into the Lake of Fire this is the true hel place of eternal torment where suffering never ends the Lake of Fire is the final and permanent destination for all who have turned away from God Jesus came and died to show us the path to life to save us from the torment of Hades Tartarus and ultimately the Lake of Fire he offers us the way to Paradise a place of rest and

peace as we await the day when all things are made new remember the choices we make now determine where our souls will spend eternity whether in the comfort of paradise or in the torment of Hades leading to the Lake of Fire as we wrap up today's discussion on the truth about life in hell it's clear that the Bible offers a sobering yet vital message hell is not just a place of Torment but a reality that reflects the ultimate consequences of rejecting God's love and mercy but it's also important to remember that this knowledge isn't meant

to inspire fear it's a call to live in the light of God's truth making choices that align with his will and lead us toward eternal life in his presence Jesus Christ came to show us the path to Salvation to save us from the torment of Hades Tartarus and ultimately the Lake of Fire the choices we make now have eternal significance whether we choose the comfort of paradise or the torment of Eternal separation from God I hope today's episode has given you a deeper understanding of these critical truths and has encouraged you to reflect on your
