The Reality of Hell: “Hell” • “Sheol” • “Hades” • “Gehenna” • “Tartarus”

Description

The Bible was written in three languages: Hebrew (Old Testament), Chaldee (portion of Daniel), and Greek (New Testament). The Bible that we have today is a translation of the Hebrew, Chaldee, and Greek writings into our language. There are many translations of the Bible, the most popular being the King James Version, which you probably own. The Word “Hell” in the King James Version There are four words in the KJV translated “hell.” Of these four words, only one of them is used in the Old Testament. That word is the Hebrew word “Sheol.” In the New Testament, the three words translated “hell” are “hades,” “gehenna,” and “tartarus,” all Greek words. What do these words mean?
