Hell – sheol, hades, naraka, Gehenna are some names of how this place is called in different languages in the world. But they mean the same thing, a place of desolation where the soul wanders without much purpose and with a lot of suffering, remorse etc. But what is this place and where is it and how do we get there and can we escape/ avoid this place?

Almost all religions in the world define hell quite similarly and ask its believers to try and avoid getting there. So is it a physical, tangible place like the earth? Maybe, maybe not – some say it’s under this earth or probably another planet or something.

There are theories that it is a place of fire, probably why some people think it is at the center of the earth (cause of molten lava found there), and others say it a place where everything is cold and desolate, probably like a some far off planet or something.

Now coming to what this blogs primary motive is, i.e. to show what the bible has to say about the things I am talking about. According to the bible hell is certainly a physical, tangible place where souls that are wicked and have not been pure in the sight of the lord will BURN FOR ETERNITY, GNASHING THEIR TEETH AND FOREVER THIRSTING FOR WATER BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME HEAT. It says this place was actually built for the DEVIL and his band of FALLEN ANGELS.

This is quite deep, because it means that this place was never built for US – then why are we going there. Well the plain and simple answer is because the devil has made it his prerogative to take all mankind into the burning fire to suffer with him. But what enmity does he have with us that he wants our doom.

Well, if he has any enmity it is only with us. The bible says that before he became the devil (Satan) he was an archangel (Lucifer) in heaven serving God Almighty. Angels are heavenly beings created to serve God and Man and an archangel is the head of these heavenly beings. So as God had created man in his image and likeness, he placed us above the angels. This was not taken well by Lucifer and started a revolt in the heavenlies. He loved God but felt jealous that man was placed above him and he had to serve man too and since then has been on a mission to prove to God that man is not worthy of such status and that God made a mistake by creating man.

So since then he and his band of fallen angels have been roaming the earth trying everything possible on earth to take mankind away from their Creator. I don’t think I will be wrong in saying that Religion is the handiwork of these jealous angels causing confusion in our minds as to what is right and what is wrong because there are so many right now. And every religion sounds right from its perspective. The bible warns us to be aware that Satan can disguise himself as the Angel of Light and show us a new way to reach God and mislead mankind.

Every human being is given a choice to choose between heaven and hell, between good and evil, between following God or turning away from him and many other such things. And we reach our final destination based on these choices. Do you know that the devil may have a say in your choice and is deceptively making you choose the path he wants you to choose? Well its true and I will cover just that in my next post, till then ciao and keep thinking – your destiny is in your hand, choose wisely.
