    Where is hell located?  Do you know?

    From what I can read, it says it is located in heaven.

    How can this be? 

    I mean, I understand that the bible is privy to the many different authors imaginations. However, it appears that all these different authors agree, it is somewhere in heaven.

    Revelations Chapter 12 is one such Chapter that suggests Hell is located in heaven.

        correct Miss Julia.
        heaven is in the heart.

        imagine living in a stasis where you can see all the wonders of the universal greatness, the light, but never being able to reach out to it. This was hell. I say was because BOTH death and Hell have been swallowed up by Y`shua's resurrection, else all would be lost in this stasis. The keys of both physical death and spiritual torment were taken away from anti-light (darkness) and put into the hands of Him and his brothers/sisters -humans. Each can now choose -apart from laws or practices- which THEY prefer. If they choose spiritual death, there is no return -their light will be swallowed up by darkness {kind of like a black hole}. If they choose life, then in body, mind & spirit, have unlimited access to light.

        Sadly, only three ministers -that i know of- have spoken of it. The first was killed on a cross, the second banished from the people to a slave mine off the coast of Turkey and myself. I don't know of any other off hand -though Joseph Prince is very close to it, a minister (as all ministers ought to be- ministers of Grace & Truth). Too bad most are ministers of mammon and gog/magog...

        sorry to be so long winded, my brain is wandering.
        And thank you BTW for allowing me to do so.

          No, no, not at all.  I love to listen and to read peoples ideas of what is real for them.  I tend to think that Heaven is bigger, yet more simplistic than the universe.

          "Choose life, then in body, mind & spirit, and have unlimited access to light."-Your quote sounds heavenly to me.  I personally feel this way too. 

          For me, hell is how we see it.  Where is it at?  Somewhere out there.  However, a hell can exist within our hearts and spirit.  A hell full of sorrow, weeping, woes, and remorse.  I cannot imagine a more powerful place than that.  I think where ever I go, that will be my hell. 

          Moreover, the heat doesn't bother me.winklol

        Here are some passages referring to Hell as somewhere inside the Earth:

        Matthew 12:40: "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

        Acts 2:29-31: "...let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried...Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption."


        Romans 10:6-7: " Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?  Or, Who shall descend into the deep?


        Ephesians 4:7-9: "But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

        please accept my apologies first. I am lost about the truth myself but I think it isn't the author's imagination. Guess it's the knowledge that they've acquired.  Lol.. i am certain it isn't anywhere near Heaven. I believe that Heaven is heven. But Hell is eternal death. I mean Death wherre it doesn't have to be fire. Death as in where you and I don't want to go (may I say)? Oh, boy.. Well, that's that. Adios. Cheers. GJ AB.

      True, heaven takes on many facets of interpretation.  Consider heaven and hell as a realm instead of an actual location.  This may help for starters.  After death the righteous and wicked are both in the "realm" of spirits, yet are separated naturally according to righteous desires.  In fact, paradise is not a natural term for the Bible and has been skewed.  The term it replaced was represent of "world of spirits."

      To some, heaven is where the righteous go after death.  However, after the millenium and the great final battle the Earth is to be cleansed and celestialized.  This in preparation for the permanent abode of the righteous.  That, too, can be considered heaven.

      Also, during the millenium.  Satan is to be bound and many of the strifes we deal with now will not exist at that time.  That can also be considered heaven.

      Heaven can take on lots of interpretations and locations.

      Hey IntimatEvolution, I'm going to give you my take on it.

      Heaven is on Earth - Hell is inside Heaven.

      Heaven is outside part.

      Hell would be inside part.

      So, in theory, you would be correct as would your interpretation.

      Just a thought. smile

      I, personally do consider that heaven is a built in different heavenly realms or levels. 

      I believe in the description of heaven, as told by Enoch.  However, many people believe that hell somehow lies below us.  I'm curious as to why they might think that.  It is not told to us in the bible that way.  So where did this notion that hell is below heaven  come from?  Has the Greeks mythological Hades, played a huge role in this conceptual thinking perhaps?

        When the first christian missionaries came to North West Europe they met the Celts who had certain views on life and afterlife. Those notions, they would be better described as "Folkways" than as a religion, were twisted by the christians to appear demonic. For example , the Celts believed an apple was sacred so they said it was the forbidden fruit even though genesis makes no mention of an apple.
        The Celts saw gateways to the spirit world in Caves and wells and similar openings into the Earth. This was exploited to convince them that they were believing in a gateway to Hell. In Celtic myth, Arawn God of the otherworld would bring his hunting dogs onto Earth to seek out the souls of the wicked. So we have "The Hounds of Hell" All  christian propaganda to convert the pagan Celts. It just stuck until today.

        Hell is a holding place for all of the souls of mankind that have not embraced Jesus as saviour and wish to do so. Jesus will visit Hell when he returns and offer those souls the opportunity to choose to follow Him, those who refuse will be thrown into the "Lake of Fire" with satan and his followers, including "the anti-christ and false prophet" who are already damned.

      I quit reading the Bible, but all I remember from it, the Dark Angel was cast down from Heaven. Not thrown in a pit, hole or anything else. Cast down. That's here. Earth. Where so many get the reincarnation theory. An eternity in hell, if you don't live your life right. You keep getting sent, here. Hell. Read any paper and tell me I'm wrong.

        Welcome to HubPages. As for reading the paper? It is irrelevant to the topic at hand. To think that HELL is on Earth is foolish.

        Grant it, it doesn't take a genius to see that "all hell is breaking loose", within mainstream society and much of humanity, but I will not go as far as to say that the Metaphor "Hell" is on Earth.

        From what I've learned of Jesus' works, Heaven is on Earth. The Kingdom of GOD or the Kingdom of Heaven, is on Earth and not in some mystical place. I also know that Jesus wasn't teaching or preaching "religion". But, that's another story in and of itself.

          Why is the notion of hell being on earth foolish?  The stark comment does deserves an explanation Cagsil.  Why do you think this way?

          As for myself, I don't feel that heaven is located somewhere here on earth.  I'm not sure where I think it is.  I think it is somewhere between here and there.  And where that is..., I sadly don't know.  However, could it be somewhere in the vast universe? Or possibly it might be outside the universe.

            Take away all the people and you have a paradise of land? Get it!

            Again, as I said above, METAPHOR - When Jesus said Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven, he was specifically talk about living on Earth.

      I glad someone else knows there bible.

      However, if you will allow me a few arguments to your post.

      Matthew 12:40: "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." ----I don't see the word hell mentioned here.  There are no signs of Lucifer in this passage, and furthermore, I simply do not believe hell is being referenced here at all.

      Lastly, the rest of your scriptures posted are from letters written by Paul.  Paul was a Roman.  Naturally, a former Pagan would think that hades and hell were probably similar.  Paul's writings are nothing more than his personal rantings, arguments, opinions and assumptions.  I could write that heaven is located on Hawaii, to my friends.  Doesn't mean it is so.wink

      Moreover though, your post brings up another point.  Revelations is the written confession, from a confused man with vivid dreams.  The book of Revelations was not dictated by Christ, nor God.  So too then, how much weight and merit does Revelations carry?  You know what I mean?  What makes it right?

        That also is a strawman as the validity and credibility of the writers of the bible are not in contest here.

      Be no telling of where that hell was located.  His reference can be anywhere.  Its not a given for me. 

      Revelations 12:7-
      "Then war broke out in heaven.  Michael and his angels battled against the dragon.  The dragon and its angels fought back, but they did not prevail.  And there was no longer a place for them in heaven.  The huge dragon, the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, was thrown down to earth and its angels were thrown down with it."

      To me, that is a reiterative from what Enoch tells us; that hell is located on a different realm in heaven.

      Just some food for thought.

            That is the claim about Muhammad, but there is no evidence to suggest he couldn't read or write.



            The Quran was authored by people who followed Muhammad and was written after he died. Muhammad could easily have made the whole thing up himself, which is the most credible answer given the story of how he founded Islam.

              muhammad is buried, his bones are in the ground. Jesus is risen, his body has not been found.  Imagine a god or one sent from god that cannot read or write.. i pray that the scales from all islam eyes fall off.
                    I knew a god once that could not talk, oh wait, that was an IDOL. Well, i knew a god that could not think, Oh wait that was useless god. I knew a god that could not.. wait I actually dont think gods that cannot do everything are not really gods at all but pretenders.
                   I actually know a god that can do everything, including be raised from the dead and draw all people to him.. That's my idea of a god, oh and jesus can write and read.. how else would he have proof read the bible, which he wrote, my god can really turn a sentence. Too bad yours can't. (head slap! wake up!!!!) jesus bless you, nobody else will, lol.

                Yes, I can imagine that, as you have.



                Which means they are all pretenders. I agree.

                Hi friend brotheryochanan

                Yes, Muhammad is buried in Medina; we don’t believe him to be our Creator- God Allah YHWH; Muhammad was the most high ranking Messenger and Prophet of God Allah YHWH.

                Jesus was never raised from the dead; he never died on the Cross to start with.

                Jesus migrated to India. If you want to see his bones; the same are lying in a tomb, If you like you may go and see them. I give you the address: Mohallah Khanyar, Sirinagar, Kashmir, India.

                I love Jesus and Mary as mentioned in Quran.

      I wasn't going to post anything, but with all these misses and wrong assumptions, well, here i am.

           UNSAVED; Hell is: here on earth and you create it yourself
      (your governments and rules, your desires and beliefs, the temporary gratification and lies you enjoy to believe, the diseases you spread, and false hopes, the work you do all your life to be left behind for someone else to either throw out, sell or put on a shelf). Everything the unsaved do are death and vanity - is this not hell? compared to what type of lifestyle God has for planned for you. Hell is being resurrected to realize that buddha, atheism, creationism, paganism, catholicism, joseph smith, the hot babe down at the strip club and even allah was not able to save you. Hell is realizing that you should have believed on the name of jesus, the only begotten Son of god; whom God gave to redeem the world from their sinful state - and you didn't believe.
           SAVED; Hell is: anywhere apart from Gods Love here and after resurrection: falling short of Gods plan in their lives: making god weep because they disobeyed a prime directive and hell is, leaving one unsaved soul behind to go to hell which has got to suck big time.

      Heaven is realising that the saveds' list of hell is way shorter than the unsaveds' list smile

      Good Luck with this information. This is not to condemn you but written in the hopes that you realize the world is created, not evolved, but created and that everything created has a creator.

      According to the Bible

      Hi friends

      Not everything written in the Bible or "According to the Bible" is Word from the Creator-God Allah YHWH; it is not even written by Jesus or dictated by Jesus to someone. Jesus did not even authorize somebody to write it on his behalf.

      So, it is not of much use if you try to find claims on issues or the reason thereof in this Bible; it is not going to answer your queries corrrectly.

        This comment that you have made on the above post is the most truthful thing that I have ever heard you say so far.

           The same thing goes for the book that islam follows.

          Neither my God nor yours have ever told anyone to follow a BOOK

          I quit writting letters to loved ones four decades ago because words written on paper holds no truth.
          They can mean anything that the reader wants to think that they mean.

            If you do not hear him telling you "like it is".
            Either you do not belong to him; or you are not listening.
             You can belong to him and not listen and that does not matter,  you are his.

            He is not Moses, to whom was given the Commands and still did not claim to be a prophet of the Most High, though he was worthy, a shadow of THE Prophet and King, Y`shua Moshiach.

                What prophets does Muhammad seal?
                And by what authority does he seal them?
                For after Y`shua Moshiach, there is no prophet nor prophecy, only the revealing of hidden wisdom concerning Him & His works.

                All prophecy is completed in and through Y`shua Moshiach, yes?
                All prophecy is solely about Y`shua Moshiach, yes?
                Did all prophecy come through the lineage of Ishmael or the offspring of Judah & Israel? How can any claim prophecy when the One who inspired all prophecy is testified by the Father, The Spirit?  Certainly, The Father did not testify on Muhammad's behalf, but did testify on behalf of Moses.

                You are misled my friend, though a zeal is noted.

                I don't agree with you; if one says anything about Islam, at least one should first find a reference from Quran.

                The Creator- God Allah YHWH says in so many verses 10,20 or more the He has descended it. I just quote one for you :

                [15:7] And they said, ‘O thou to whom this Exhortation has been sent down, thou art surely a madman.
                [15:8] ‘Why dost thou not bring angels to us, if thou art of the truthful?’
                [15:9] We do not send down angels but by due right, and then they are granted no respite.
                [15:10] Verily, We Ourself have sent down this Exhortation, and most surely We will be its Guardian
                [15:11] And We sent Messengers before thee among parties of ancient peoples. [15:12] And there never came to them any Messenger but they mocked at him.

                http://www.alislam.org/quran/search2/sh … p;verse=10

                Please see verse [15:10] above.

      In the original Greek & Hebrew texts of the Scripture the word "hell" nor "its (absurd) meaning" is expressed. In reference to "a place of unquenchable fire" Jesus was indicating a place where any physical thing thrown into this fire would be completely destroyed, and that the fire wouldn't die out UNTIL EVERYTHING thrown in it was burned up. He called this place "Geenna" (Gehenna/Ge Hinnom)which means "Valley of Hinnom". It is a literal place located south of Jerusalem.

      In September of this year my book will be published. It thoroughly debunks the alleged "eternal-burning hell" idea. In August check out my hubs, one will be titled by the name of my book (you'll easily recognize it) and the hub will give you detailed to the book's content and official print date.

      Only followers of my hubs will get a sneak peak of sample chapters before print due ate.
