Hell (also known as Hades, Inferno, everlasting fire, anguish and torment) is a place of eternal suffering. It is the realm where those who have left the presence of God are banished to in the after-life.

Most cartoons and TV shows portray hell as a big furnace where evil people/spirits shall burn forever more. But when we really think about it in context, hell is more of a place where we are in isolation from God. Think of it this way, hell is a place where you and the devil are left alone in a small room. That can’t be good, can it? The Holy Bible sometimes makes reference to a lake of burning sulfur, I believe that has a more spiritual meaning rather than physical meaning. Hell is a painful experience, after all you’re trapped in the devil’s cage! What could be worse? How about being trapped in the devil’s cage knowing there’s no way out and there’s no help? You see, here on earth, when we mess up, God can still accept us and save us from the devil, but in hell, you’re like a rat trapped with a ten foot cat.
