The two most common words for hell are hades and gehēnna. Hades was the Greek word for the realm of the dead, but Jesus uses it more specifically to refer to a place of torment (Luke 16:23), a place that is the opposite of heaven (Matt 11:23). Originally gehēnna referred to Hinnom Valley south of Jerusalem, where centuries earlier child sacrifice was practiced (2 Kings 23:10; Jeremiah 7:32). By the time of Jesus, gehēnna was a picture of hell, such that Jesus warns "fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell [gehēnna]" (Matthew 10:28). ~ Matthew Harmon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_Hinnom_(Gehenna)

The Valley of Hinnom is first mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as part of the border between the tribes of Judah and Benjamin (Joshua 15:8). During the late First Temple period, it was the site of the Tophet, where some of the kings of Judah had sacrificed their children by fire (Jeremiah 7:31). Thereafter, it was cursed by the biblical prophet Jeremiah (Jeremiah 19:2–6). In later Jewish rabbinic literature, Gehinnom became associated with divine punishment in Jewish Apocalypticism as the destination of the wicked. It is different from the more neutral term Sheol, the abode of the dead. The King James Version of the Bible translates both with the Anglo-Saxon word hell.

The Valley of Hinnom is the Modern Hebrew name for the valley surrounding the Old City of Jerusalem and the adjacent Mount Zion from the west and south. It meets and merges with the Kidron Valley, the other principal valley around the Old City, near the Pool of Siloam which lie to the southeastern corner of Ancient Jerusalem.

Valley of the Son of Hinnom

2 Kings 23:10-11 10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter pass through the fire to Molech. 11 Then he removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance to the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech, the officer who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun…

Title: The History of Hell Channel: ReligionForBreakfast (Dr. Andrew Henry) Length: 9:31

Beliefs about hell range across denominations; it can be a state of separation from God (Catholicism), a literal place of eternal torment (Protestantism), a state of non-existence (Protestantism), or being in God's overwhelming presence and unable to withstand it due to a life of sin (Eastern Orthodox).

Afterlife in the Hebrew scriptures is "Sheol," a shadowy place where all people go; dualistic beliefs develop later. Jesus uses term "Gehenna;" the Valley of Hinnom - there is a scholarly myth that it was used as a dump to burn trash, something first put forth in the 1200's. More likely Jesus was referencing Biblical passages linking the area to child sacrifice to Moloch. Other New Testament passages use the word "Tartarus." Hellenistic influence on fiery picture of hell.

Deuteronomy 18:10-14- No one among you is to sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire, practice divination, tell fortunes, interpret omens, practice sorcery, cast spells, consult a medium or spiritists, or inquire of the dead.

Though these nations you are about to drive out listen to fortune-tellers and diviners, the Lord your God has not permitted you to do this.

Isaiah 47: 8-14- So now hear this, lover of luxury, who sits securely, who says to herself, I am, and there is no one else. I will never be a widow or know the loss of children. These two things will happen to you suddenly, in one day, loss of children and widowhood. They will happen to you in their entirety, in spite of your many sorceries and potency of your spells. You were secure in your wickedness, you said No one sees me. Your wisdom and knowledge led astray. You said it yourself, I am, and there is no one else. But disaster will happen to you, you will not know how to avert it. And it will fall on you, but you will be unable to ward it off . Devastation will happen to you suddenly and unexpectedly. So take your stand with your spells and your many sorceries, which you have wearied yourself with from your youth. Perhaps you will be able to succeed, perhaps you will inspire terror! You are worn out with your many consultations. So let the astrologers stand and save you, those who observe the stars, those predict monthly what will happen to you. Look, they are like stubble, fire burns them. They cannot rescue themselves from the power of the flame. This is not a coal for warming themselves, or a fire to sit beside!

Extremist chants and signs in pro- Palestinian rallies vs the double standards Jews face

I’ve explained in previous posts why “from the river to sea “ is actually a genocidal call for the eradication of all Jews from Israel. I’m not going to go into that in this post, but you’re welcome to read it and further research the phrase.

Unfortunately, every day anti- Zionists provide me with more slurs and problematic protests chants: Please read the attached post. These are all examples from pro - Palestinian protests held in the last few weeks.

Murder is not “resistance”. Neither is raping or kidnapping civilians. I can’t believe some twisted people believe this is ok.

Nothing justifies what happened in October 7th. Not even the “occupation”.

If you’re going to say “well on 1948 Jews occupied Palestine”- the conflict has started before then, and Jews have been there wayyy before that’s .

How long before 1948?

Here’s Yet another example to how long Jews have been in Israel :

I’ll use the Arabic word used last slide as an example, when you know, the protester literally said “all Jews belong in hell”:

The Arabic word for hell is derived from Hebrew:

Hebrew for Valley of Hinnom, near Jerusalem, is mentioned in the bible as Gie Ben Hinom -> Gehinnom/ Gehenna-> the Arabic word for hell “ganaham”.

What’s actually important- The Double Standard and underlying antisemitic rhetoric:

More importantly than linguistics and semantics-Imagine the backlash against an Israeli/ Jewish protestor if they said all Muslims / Palestinians belong in hell.

Jews are looked under a microscope for every single word said in protest, interviews , etc while this is completely allowed .

Only last month during the Haag trial, out of context and mistranslated quotes of extremist government members were used to prove how Israel’s guilty of “genocide”.

-on the other ,while chants and signs like these are completely fine. Calling for the death of all Jews is fine, Jews can’t speak out without being called a genocidal murderer or a slew of other antisemitic slurs.

-I’ve been personally called all of these things simply for identifying online as a Jewish Israeli woman, or for saying “Israelis shouldn’t die” and “release the hostages”. The bar for being cussed and harassed is that low.

Tldr- These dangerous chants , slurs and death threats have been increasing since October 7th, and it feels like it was just an excuse .

The double standard is astounding. Don’t be a dick to Jews, and educate yourself about what you’re saying.

“The people of Judah have sinned before my very eyes,” says the Lord. “They have set up their abominable idols right in the Temple that bears my name, defiling it. They have built pagan shrines at Topheth, the garbage dump in the valley of Ben-Hinnom, and there they burn their sons and daughters in the fire. I have never commanded such a horrible deed; it never even crossed my mind to command such a thing!”

Jeremiah 7:30-31

What the Hell?

Judaism does not have a specific doctrine about the afterlife, but it does have a mystical/Orthodox tradition of describing Gehinnom. Gehinnom is not hell, but originally a grave and in later times a sort of Purgatory where one is judged based on one's life's deeds, or rather, where one becomes fully aware of one's own shortcomings and negative actions during one's life.

The Kabbalah explains it as a "waiting room" (commonly translated as an "entry way") for all souls (not just the wicked). The overwhelming majority of rabbinic thought maintains that people are not in Gehinnom forever; the longest that one can be there is said to be 12 months, however, there has been the occasional noted exception. Some consider it a spiritual forge where the soul is purified for its eventual ascent to Olam Habah (heb. עולם הבא; lit. "The world to come", often viewed as analogous to heaven). This is also mentioned in the Kabbalah, where the soul is described as breaking, like the flame of a candle lighting another: the part of the soul that ascends being pure and the "unfinished" piece being reborn.

According to Jewish teachings, hell is not entirely physical; rather, it can be compared to a very intense feeling of shame. People are ashamed of their misdeeds and this constitutes suffering which makes up for the bad deeds. When one has so deviated from the will of God, one is said to be in Gehinnom. This is not meant to refer to some point in the future, but to the very present moment. The gates of teshuva (return) are said to be always open, and so one can align his will with that of God at any moment. Being out of alignment with God's will is itself a punishment according to the Torah.

Many scholars of Jewish mysticism, particularly of the Kabbalah, describe seven "compartments" or "habitations" of hell, just as they describe seven divisions of heaven. These divisions go by many different names, and the most frequently mentioned are as follows:

Sheol (Hebrew: שְׁאוֹל – "underworld", "Hades"; "grave")

Abaddon (Hebrew: אֲבַדּוֹן – "doom", "perdition")

Be'er Shachat (Hebrew: בְּאֵר שַׁחַת, Be'er Shachath – "pit of corruption")

Tit ha-Yaven (Hebrew: טִיט הַיָוֵן – "clinging mud")

Sha'are Mavet (Hebrew: שַׁעֲרֵי מָוֶת, Sha'arei Maveth – "gates of death")

Tzalmavet (Hebrew: צַלמָוֶת, Tsalmaveth – "shadow of death")

Gehinnom (Hebrew: גֵיהִנוֹם, Gehinnom – "valley of Hinnom"; "Tartarus", "Purgatory")

Besides those mentioned above, there also exist additional terms that have been often used to either refer to hell in general or to some region of the underworld:

Azazel (Hebrew: עֲזָאזֵל, compd. of ez עֵז: "goat" + azal אָזַל: "to go away" – "goat of departure", "scapegoat"; "entire removal", "damnation")

Dudael (Hebrew: דּוּדָאֵל – lit. "cauldron of God")

Tehom (Hebrew: תְהוֹם – "abyss"; "sea", "deep ocean")

Tophet (Hebrew: תֹּפֶת or תוֹפֶת, Topheth – "fire-place", "place of burning", "place to be spit upon"; "inferno")

Tzoah Rotachat (Hebrew: צוֹאָה רוֹתֵחַת, Tsoah Rothachath – "boiling excrement")

Mashchit (Hebrew: מַשְׁחִית, Mashchith – "destruction", "ruin")

Dumah (Hebrew: דוּמָה – "silence")

Neshiyyah (Hebrew: נְשִׁיָּה – "oblivion", "Limbo")

Bor Shaon (Hebrew: בּוֹר שָׁאוֹן – "cistern of sound")

Eretz Tachtit (Hebrew: אֶרֶץ תַּחְתִּית, Erets Tachtith – "lowest earth").

Masak Mavdil (Hebrew: מָסָך מַבְדִּ֔יל, Masak Mabdil – "dividing curtain")

Haguel (Ethiopic: ሀጉለ – "(place of) destruction", "loss", "waste")

Ikisat (Ethiopic: አክይስት – "serpents", "dragons"; "place of future punishment")

Maimonides declares in his 13 principles of faith that the hells of the rabbinic literature were pedagogically motivated inventions to encourage respect of the Torah commandments by mankind, which had been regarded as immature. Instead of being sent to hell, the souls of the wicked would actually get annihilated.

A while ago an anon asked me if I knew which Native language the city of Gahanna allegedly derives its name from, because neither of us could find a source on which apparent language it gets its etymology from. and I looked into multiple tribes dictionaries and ipa sound tables & couldn't find one that sounded even remotely close to "Gahanna" or even its alleged translation, "three divers joining together". It got its name from a plantation which apparently also said it got its name from a "Native American word", but why a white plantation owner would name his plantation this I'm not sure.

However, Im starting to think the ACTUAL etymology is a spelling variant of Gahanna, which comes from a Greek transliteration Γέεννα / Géenna as well as the Syriac transliteration ܓܼܼܗܲܢܵܐ / Gihanna of the Hebrew Gēʾ ḇen-Hīnnōm, or "Valley of Hinnom’s son", which is mentioned in the Bible. So I think it's more likely THIS is actually where the word comes from & the guy who named his plantation this was full of shit

by Dr. Stanford E. Murrell | The Valley of Hinnom was located south of Jerusalem and was once used to sacrifice children to foreign gods. One of the false gods was called Moloch. He is mentioned in Amos 5:26, and in Acts 7:43). On the outstretched arms Moloch, cruel parents would offer their children to be burned to death. Today, in a Transgender Society, many godless parents keep…

Jesus used the Valley of Hinnom near Jerusalem as an illustration of hell (Mark 9:47–48). This valley, also called Gehenna, was used as a public dump where garbage, dead animals, corpses of criminals, and all manner of uncleanness constantly burned.

Remember that Leraye was the first

He's the best marksman in Gehenna and next was Bimet

This time we gone Mammon trusted demon which was the same thing with Sitri

3 out of 25 demons, the last two been reveal are the trusted demons of their respective kings.

Also we just gotten Wrath and Greed. Where Gluttony and Envy? We need names for their kingdoms which seems to be floating land. Seen here in the background of the "Missing Solomon" pic

I wonder if we are going from the kings’ trusted first to their hater later 🤔.

Gehenna was the “Valley of Hinnom” outside Jerusalem, where children were burned in sacrifice to the god Moloch. In the Bible, it’s used to indicate “Hell” or “the Lake of Fire”.

Tartaros is the Underworld in Greek Mythology.

I wonder what’s next? The Duat (Egyptian Mythology)? Diye (Chinese)? Niflheim (Norse)?

Also HB!Solomon is giving me the vibe of missing grandpa but he’s actually planning/carrying out an important plan 🔍

this is such a vague reference i apologize but

op Gregor was very much inspired by Father John from that mediocore horror movie Countdown? He's also referred to as the nerd priest and i think thats cute. For some reason i cant find any clips and i dont want to recommend the movie bc its kinda garbage but idk feel free to search.

Hes like this priest that thinks the bible stuff is cool to him, like demons and all that. I imagine he approaches Molochs whole thing like "*reading* heavily implied to be child sacrifice. Tombs in the Valley of Hinnom, the location of the tophet where Moloch rituals were performed- THIS IS GOOD!! This is really good!! I mean- not for you guys but,"

idk i like him and i didnt think id like the hair thing but it kinda fits

anyways im gonna finish the ref wee

Ohhh!

I couldn't find any videos of it but that sounds like a fun character concept
