First...
Jesus robbed and de-classed hades when He ‘led captivity captive’ - that is He led out of the upper region of hades, the twin spirits/souls of all captive 1st and 2nd ages saints who had died in faith toward God. 1 En route to the new Earth that He had promised Isaiah He was creating, nearly 7 centuries before His virgin birth, these saints, in their spirit and soul form, stopped by their graves to reunite with their bodies, made anew and glorified in immortality. 2 Hades had been divided into an upper, protected region for the twin spirits/souls of all 1st and 2nd ages (pre-cross) saints who had died, and a lower, fiery region in which the twin spirits/souls of all 1st and 2nd ages dead sinners were being tormented. 3 Since Christ's resurrection, the upper region has been put out of business. The twin spirits/souls of saints who have died, or will die in this 3rd age of human history (New Testament church age), are in the presence of The Lord, awaiting their reunion with their bodies that will similarly be glorified in immortality. 4
Second...
Jesus will rob the lower region of hades of all dead sinners from across the initial 6 ages of human history, emptying it in the promised, final resurrection and rapture experience.They all will stand before Him at His Great White Throne judgment bar. After their judgment, He will cast (lob) them in their non-glorified, immortal bodies, along with every devil, Death, and Hades itself, into the sulfur-lit lake of fire, somewhere on the new Earth. 5
Did you know hades (which is hell) will be cast into the lake of fire??
To you, what does this suggest about both of these places??
