Question: Where is Hell actually?
Revelation 20:
V.13 And the sea gave up the dead which are in it; and death and the (b)grave delivered up the dead which are in them: and they were judged each one according to their works.
(a) See Vs. 11 and 12 and notes.
(b) This in A.D. 1611 translated incorrectly "Hell"; the concept of Hell is Babylonian and Greek in origin (Pythagoras) and adopted by the Roman Church, and later by the Church of England and other Protestant groups. The Greek word "HADES", renders (Str. No. 86), a place or state of departed souls, (i.e. bodies) i.e. grave, “Hell. This led the Roman Church to develop the concept of "Purgatory", a place between life, and Heaven or "Hell". This was due to the Roman adoption of the Greek concept of soul, i.e. as a separate continuing entity to the body, which ignores the clear definition given in Genesis, 2:7, where God "formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul". The soul therefore is the result of the dust + the breath of life = the soul! The Roman error has led to the awful practice of praying by Roman Catholics for "the souls of departed loved ones", which leads them to believe that their prayers can overcome the departed ones sins, and gain them access to Heaven! This terrible teaching negates the work of Our Lord on The Cross, and millions of people worldwide are thus misled. This is part of the "Harlot", of Chps. 17 and 18 etc.
It is certain that the subject of "Hell", has become more mixed together with the “grave”, mistranslation. See: Hell's Punishment?
V.14 (a)And death and the grave were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the Second Death; the Lake of Fire.
(a) See Chapter 12:11(c); and Chapter 20:6.
V.15 (a)And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire.
(a) Lake of Fire and Brimstone; 20:10 (a) & 21:8 (b).
