I have heard hell described as separation from God. Imagine a place where there is no goodness, no relief, and no hope.

Seeing a volcano spew lava, I can imagine how one thinks hell is deep within the earth.

Where ever hell is, it is able to contain fallen angels.


2 Peter 2:4
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;

I have had a little more time to ponder...

I think it is more important to know what hell is than where it is.

Thrifty, I agree with you based on these scriptures:

Ephesians 4:8-10

8Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

9(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

10He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)


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.

People and demons and the devil will not always stay in hell in the center of the earth. God will ultimately put them in the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:14
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.)

1.Revelation 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

2.Revelation 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
