Hades(Sheol) vs. Hell

  For those of us that was raised in church, we know about God's Word speaking of a place called Hell. It is a real place where people who do not accept Christ and continue to live and do sinful things end up there. Some of us was raised in church with the preachers preaching about this place. We've had Evangelists come and reveal things to us about it as well. How well do the rest of the world know about Hell and Hades? What's the difference between the two places? The answer lies in God's Word about both places. First, let's take a look at Hades or Sheol. The name Sheol means, "a place of torment or punishment"(same as Hades). Torment? Punishment? For who? According to God's Word, it's a place for human beings and no one else. When Lucifer was cast out of Heaven along with thousands of angels that followed him, God created a place for him and the angels to dwell in that was the opposite of Heaven. It is not a pleasant place for him. When they entered into Hades, their appearance changed. They became very ugly beings with wings. Remember, they're still angels. When God made mankind, He set order and instructions for us to live by. By disobedience, we failed God. God had to create a place within Hades for man to receive punishment and torment. In Hades(Sheol), God created chambers for humans to be in the walls of Hades, your own personal chamber. You alone is in there burning by fire that is seven times hotter than the fire on Earth. The fire starts at your feet and continue to raise up to consume your whole body until you're a pile of ashes. A few minutes later, you're back whole again just for the process to repeat itself. Also, during that time, you're being tormented by demons. Whatever that one sin is that brought you down there, is the sin that you pay for by demons, and there is a t.v. screen in front of your chamber showing and reminding you of that sin that brought you down there as well. That is Hades(Sheol) In Luke Ch. 16:23, this scripture mentions Hades as a place of torment. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus was told by Jesus to let us know about how rich people treat the poor. This rich man in this story ignored a man named Lazarus(not the same Lazarus that Jesus raised from the dead), who begged the rich man for food at his gate to his mansion. When both men died, Lazarus went to Heaven and the rich man went to Hades. In Revelation Ch. 20:14, God cast Death and Hades into the Lake of fire. What does that mean? It means the after the final judgement, where both books will be opened(the book of Life and the "Other" book), everyone that was cast into Hades for punishment will be cast into the Lake of fire along with the demons and Satan(Lucifer) himself for ALL to suffer torment in Hell. Hell is a place that God is going to create just for that purpose. You see, in the final judgement, demons and Satan himself will also be judged and found guilty for deceiving people into sin and iniquity(hidden sins). Their punishment will be the same for all of humanity who never repented and went back to God through Jesus Christ. Humans will be judged again in this final judging, even the ones that already suffered in Hades. So now you know the difference between Hades(Sheol) and Hell. God's Word tells us, "I set before you good and evil, choose this day who you will serve". Remember, these places are real. Hell is not created, yet but it will be when God destroys Hades. People who do not believe in Hell or Hades is in for a shock after death. You cannot return after death to tell it.
