Transforming Perspectives | Scriptures, demystify the imagery of pitch forks and nail clawed demons, dwelling amid fire and brimstone in the place called Hell or biblical Greek, Hades. Instead, depicts Hades not as a singularly purposed dominion under the rule of the adversaries of God but as a designation ordered by God under his sovereign rule. Scriptures, describe three realms or dimensions in which the dead, demonic, and wicked are held as captives until God’s reckoning, redemption and final judgment.

Firstly, the fallen angels that were cast out of the realm of God’s council, down into the depths of the earth. Hell, often referenced as Perdition which God spoke by the prophet Ezekiel, “I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descended into the [pit]…” (a holding place, prison or dungeon, cell or grave). Ezekiel 31:16, King James Version

She'ôl, in biblical Hebrew In the Old Testament, is defined as the world of the dead, similar to a subterranean retreat including its accessories and inmates. Many believe She'ôl as the resting place in which the dead were kept until the mystery of God’s Salvation was revealed, referencing Jesus the Christ. Apostle Paul explains in the Letter to the Ephesians of Jesus descending into the earth, so to bring captivity captive, as he ascended, inferring freeing those who were held captive by death.

Formidably, Jesus came, died and rose again, defeating death, so men would be raised into eternal life. Effectually, salvation by faith in him and from God’s final judgment in Hades, the Lake of Fire. John the Apostle, exclaims of seeing Jesus…“And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” Revelation 1:17-18, King James Version
