Old Testament view of hell

• "the unseen state“ ~ Young's Analytical Concordance
• “always the abode of departed spirits" ~ Smith's Bible Dictionary
Old Testament view of hell

Does sheol = hades?
• Souls are conscious – Isaiah 14:9-20
• Place for the wicked– Job 21:13;Numbers 16:30-33
• Place for the righteous– Job 14:13-14; Psalms 49:14-15
• What about torment and paradise?– Abaddon (Job 26:6; 28:22; 31:12; Proverbs 15:11;
27:20)
New Testament view of hell
• Hades– Acts 2:29-35– Luke 16:19-31
• Place of torment• Place of rest “paradise”– Luke 23:43; John 20:17
DISCUSSION: Does it matter if Luke 16:19-31 is a parable?
Points to ponder
• Old and New Testament people understood the meaning for sheol, hades, gehanna, and tartaros
• What if our view of the afterlife is incorrect?
• What is the benefit of studying this topic?– 1 Thessalonians 4:18
