"Gehenna."

2 min read · Chapter 9 of 46

"Gehenna."

"Gehenna" is translated “Hell” correctly. It is properly translated 12 times, eleven of which are spoken of by Christ, himself, in Matthew, Mark and Luke. It is recorded one other time in James. This is the final abode of the wicked, and the Devil and his angels. Here are the passages:

Matthew 5:22; Matthew 5:29-30; Matthew 10:28; Matthew 18:9; Matthew 23:15; Matthew 23:33 Mark 9:43; Mark 9:45; Mark 9:47

Luke 12:5

James 3:6 This Hell (Greek, “gehenna”), the final continuous torment, is a condition of unspeakable misery. Other than called Hell, many other references are made to this same place. Here are a few:

Mark 9:46.
"Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."

Revelation 21:8.
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolators, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

Matthew 8:12.
"But the children of the Kingdom, shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

These "children of the Kingdom" are Jews, not the church. They are called children, yet not saved. These in the Old Testament up to Calvary, who have rejected the Messiah, will be cast into outer darkness at the end of the Tribulation.

Matthew 13:42.

"And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

Luke 3:17.
"Whose fan is in his (Christ's) hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat (the saved) into his garner: but the chaff (the lost) will he burn with fire unquenchable." This takes place at the end of the Tribulation when Christ judges the nations.

Jude 1:13 b.

"...to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever."

Revelation 14:9-11.

"...If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark (“666”) in his forehead, or in his hand, (9) The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.(10) And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day or night...” (11a) 2 Thessalonians 1:8.

"In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ."

2 Thessalonians 1:9.

"...Punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power."
