Secrets from Beyond The Grave
that eventually cooled (with water) and formed the planet we now dwell on. The difference between what I am sharing and the scientific "slow-evolving planet theory" of the earth is the time element. Scientists believe the formation process took billions of years. However, although in ages past the original Creation of Genesis 1 may have occurred millions of years ago, the time frame recorded from Genesis 3:3 onward--of God creating the light, plants, and man--was slightly more than six thousand years ago according to traditional theology. Whether hell was prepared before the fall of Satan (Gen 1:1) or afterward (Gen 1:2), Scripture and science agree on these facts: there are different levels under the earth, and the center of the earth is fire. The Underground Chambers
Throughout the Bible there are five different words used to identify the area I call the underworld: These words are:
Sheol --an Old Testament Hebrew word Hades --a New Testament Greek word Gehenna --a New Testament Greek word Tartaroo --a New Testament Greek word Abyss --a New Testament Greek word
The word Sheol is used sixty-five times in the Old Testament. It is translated as " hell" thirty-one times in the Bible, thirty-one times as " grave ," and three times as "pit." The word Hades is translated as " hell" ten times in the New Testament. It is also found in 1 Corinthians 15:55, where the English word is grave. The only exception is Revelation 6:8. In that passage the pale horse rider is Death, and hell ( Hades ) follows him. By definition the word Hades is "the region of departed spirits of the lost (but including the blessed dead in periods preceding the ascension of Christ)."3 The early church fathers commented on Hades. One Ante-Nicene father commented: This is the torment compartment of Sheol-Hades where wicked souls have always gone and will always go until the end of the Millennium. . . . Hades is a place in the created system, rude, a locality beneath the earth, in which the light of the world does not shine; and as the sun does not shine in this locality, there must necessarily be perpetual darkness there.4 The third word, tartaroo , is a Greek word translated as "hell" and found in only one place: 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 . . . --2 Peter 2:4 Tartarus was considered both a spirit or a deity in Greek mythology and the place of a chamber lower than Hades in which the most wicked spirits were confined. It was believed to be the first place created in the regions of the underworld, as angels fell into sin ages before Adam was created and sinned. Peter reveals that this is the chamber of the fallen angels. Just as Satan will be cast into the abyss in the future and have a seal placed over the pit preventing his escape for one thousand years (Rev. 20:3), so those angels who were in revolt against God during the fall of Lucifer and those who corrupted themselves in the days of Noah by producing the offspring of giants (Gen. 6:4) are now chained in pits of darkness in the lowest parts of the earth. There is no indication that human souls are in this region, but only fallen angels. Jude wrote:
