The Bibles shows that there are other worlds beneath us. Life does not stop or start on the earth, there are creatures living elsewhere. Human life also does not start or end on the earth, it started elsewhere, and will continue somewhere.
1. [endif]Sheol or hell- this place is the habitation of all the wicked men and women who died on the earth. Anyone who died having not received the salvation of Jesus Christ, is in this place right now. Whether you believe this or not is up to you, but I wouldn't want to find out the hard way that this place is real. All those who had the Thomas spirit ( believing by seeing) are in this place at this very minute, they never believed there was hell when they were still on earth, after they died, they went straight there. It is now too late to say I believe. He keeps back his soul from the pit, And his life from passing over into Sheol. (Job 33:18)
2. Hades/ Paradise- Today this place is empty, when Jesus came out of the grave, he took everyone that was on paradise out with him. Everyone that was in this place is now in heaven. Read the story of the rich man and Lazarus in (Luke 16:19-3). All the saints of old were held prison in this place by Satan, including Abraham, David, Jacob etc were all in this place. They waited for the Messiah to deliver them, and when he died, he defeated Satan and took the keys from him, and opened for these saints to be released. And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus' resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people. (Matthew 27:50-53)
3. Tartarus /Prison – this a prison where the fallen angels which had sexual relations with human beings are held (Genesis 6:1-2). The reason God destroyed the earth with water during the time of Noah is because these angels had corrupted the human DNA. Everyone was corrupted except for Noah and his family. Human beings had sex with demons, and they gave birth to Nephilims. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 2 Peter 2:4.
4 The Pit- This is the Habitation of all demons, this place was created when Lucifer fell. All the spirits which are here will be released during the great tribulation to torment those who will take the mark of the beast. And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. (Revelations 9:1-4).
5. [endif]Lake of fire- This is the last place for eternal punishment of the souls which rejected the salvation of Jesus Christ. Hell itself will be thrown into the lake of fire, including hades, Tartarus, and the pit . Those that accept the salvation of Christ will be in the new earth the bible says, and yearly they will be require to visit the lake of fire to see those who are being eternal tormented, so that they can know what God saved them from. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.( Revelation 20:13-15)
