Secrets from Beyond The Grave

14:11). The fire "never shall be quenched" (Mark 9:43, KJV). In Abraham's and Lot's day when Sodom was burning, the Bible describes it as "the smoke of a furnace" (Gen. 19:28). As previously stated, there are numerous chambers under the earth, including hell, tartarus , and the abyss. These caverns of the deep are located in specific regions of the underworld and are a part of the internal creation of the earth itself. Hell is presently the abode of the unrighteous dead. However, the Bible indicates that when the Messiah returns, there will be a certain cavern opened somewhere on Earth, and living men will be permitted to look into the depths of the underworld and will actually see the souls of men who have sinned against God. Human men will see the flames of hell. The Opening Into Hell Without doubt, the Bible indicates there is fire in hell. This is interesting when considering the nature of the earth itself. The planet we live on consists of three compositional layers identified by scientists as the crust, the mantle, and the core. The outer crust is the outer layer consisting of trees, sand, and rock. The crust is between six to forty miles deep, depending on whether the measurement is being made from the top of a high mountain or from a low spot, such as the Dead Sea. The second layer is the mantle, and the center of the earth is the core. The second layer, called the mantle , is a doughnut-shaped region that is twenty-nine hundred kilometers, or about eighteen hundred miles, thick. At the center of the Earth lies a two-part core. "The inner part is about the size of our moon," [Chris] Marone [Penn State professor of geosciences] says, "and has a density of essentially steel. The outer core surrounding it is an ocean of liquid metal 2,300 kilometers thick. The Earth's rotation makes this ocean flow and swirl, and the moving metal generates the planet's magnetic field."12 There have been numerous drilling projects since 1950. Project Mohole was an attempt in 1961 to drill into the earth's crust to discover the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, or Moho. Five holes were drilled off the coast of Guadalupe, Mexico, one at a depth of 601 feet beneath the seafloor.13 In 1970, the Russians bore a super-deep hole on the Kola Peninsula in Russia. Eventually, the hole reached a depth of 7.7 miles and was halted in 1994, as more research and further drilling techniques were needed. The following was reported: One of the obstacles scientists faced in drilling to such depths was the increasing temperature. Scientists attempted to counter this by freezing drilling mud and pumping it down the hole. When the mud reached 7.5 miles (12 km), the drilling machine had reached the height of its heat tolerance. Scientists had estimated that rocks at that depth would be 100 degrees Celsius, but turned out to be 180 degrees Celsius. . . . Scientists predicted that had they reached their 9.3-mile (15 km) goal, temperatures could have risen as high as 300 degrees Celsius.14 Some scientists and geologists suggest that the temperature at the very core of the earth may be as high as 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit, hotter than the surface of the sun.15 Hell--Under the Earth?

It is interesting that all major world religions have a belief in some form of the afterlife, and even a belief in some form of hell. This belief goes all the way back to the ancient Egyptians
