These terms are integral to understanding the biblical perspective on life after death and divine justice.<br><br><b>Sheol</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, Sheol is the Hebrew term frequently used to describe the underworld or the grave. It is depicted as a shadowy place where the dead reside, regardless of their moral conduct during life. Sheol is often portrayed as a place of silence and forgetfulness, where the deceased are cut off from the living and from the worship of God. For instance, in <a href="/psalms/6-5.htm">Psalm 6:5</a> , it is written, "For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol?" This verse highlights the separation from God that Sheol represents.<br><br>Sheol is not necessarily a place of punishment but rather a neutral abode for all the dead. However, the righteous express hope for deliverance from Sheol, as seen in <a href="/psalms/49-15.htm">Psalm 49:15</a> : "But God will redeem my life from Sheol, for He will surely take me to Himself."<br><br><b>Hades</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the Greek term "Hades" is used, which parallels the Hebrew concept of Sheol. Hades is similarly depicted as the realm of the dead. In <a href="/luke/16-23.htm">Luke 16:23</a> , Jesus tells the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, where the rich man finds himself in Hades, in torment, while Lazarus is comforted at Abraham's side. This narrative introduces a distinction between the experiences of the righteous and the wicked after death, suggesting a form of conscious existence and retribution.<br><br>Hades is also mentioned in <a href="/revelation/20-13.htm">Revelation 20:13-14</a> , where it is said, "The sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead, and each one was judged according to his deeds. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death&#8212;the lake of fire." Here, Hades is depicted as a temporary holding place for the dead until the final judgment.<br><br><b>Gehenna</b><br><br>Gehenna is another term used in the New Testament, often translated as "hell." It is derived from the Valley of Hinnom, a place outside Jerusalem associated with idolatry and child sacrifice in the Old Testament (<a href="/2_kings/23-10.htm">2 Kings 23:10</a>). By the time of the New Testament, Gehenna had become a symbol of divine judgment and eternal punishment for the wicked.<br><br>Jesus frequently uses the term Gehenna to warn of the consequences of sin. In <a href="/matthew/10-28.htm">Matthew 10:28</a> , He states, "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell (Gehenna)." This indicates a place of ultimate destruction and separation from God.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The biblical portrayal of the underworld underscores the reality of life after death and the moral order upheld by divine justice. While Sheol and Hades represent the temporary state of the dead, Gehenna signifies the final judgment and eternal consequences for the unrighteous. The hope of the righteous lies in deliverance from Sheol and the promise of eternal life with God, as affirmed in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which conquers death and offers salvation to believers.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
