Bible Truth And Prophecy A @Christadelphians Video: Description: In the Old Testament the Hebrew word 'sheol' is translated about an equal number of times as 'the grave' or 'hell' meaning a covered place. In the New Testament 'hell' cannot be a place of torment because faithful people such as King David and Jesus are spoken of as being in 'hell' or the grave.
Summary
The concept of Hell, as understood in the Bible, predominantly refers to the grave rather than a place of eternal torment. This interpretation is supported by various Old and New Testament passages, which use the Hebrew word "Shel" and its Greek counterpart "Hades" interchangeably to describe the grave. The association of Hell with fire and judgment is primarily symbolic, drawing from historical events and prophecies. Jesus warns of the consequences of unfaithfulness, urging believers to turn away from wrongdoing to avoid judgment.

Q: What is the origin of the English word "hell"?
A: The English word "hell" originates from the Anglo-Saxon word "Helen," which means to cover. It is related to words like "helmet," which is a covering for the head. In biblical context, "hell" refers to the grave, a place of burial or covering.
Q: How is the term "hell" interpreted in the Old Testament?
A: In the Old Testament, the term "hell" is often translated from the Hebrew word "Sheol," which occurs about 65 times. "Sheol" is translated as both "grave" and "hell" in the King James Version, but it is never associated with fire or torment. Instead, it is depicted as a place of darkness and unconsciousness.
Q: What does the New Testament reveal about the concept of "hell"?
A: In the New Testament, the Greek word "Hades" is often translated as "hell" and is synonymous with the Hebrew "Sheol," signifying the grave. Jesus Christ's teachings in the New Testament also refer to "gehenna," symbolising judgment and associated with fire. However, this imagery is more about symbolic judgment rather than eternal torment.
Q: How does the video interpret the concept of "hell" in terms of biblical teachings?
A: The video interprets "hell" primarily as the grave, both in the Old and New Testaments. It emphasises that biblical references to "hell" are not about eternal torment but rather symbolise judgment and consequences for unrighteousness. The narrative highlights the importance of understanding biblical context and symbolism to grasp the true meaning behind the term "hell."
