Heaven, Paradise, Hell, and the Eternal Lake of Fire

 As stated in the Title I will be discussing at length with King James Bible Scripture and the substantiating DOCTRINE the following:

Heaven it all of its aspects. Paradise - aka Abraham's Bosom.  Hell - aka Hades or (corrupted from the universalists and wicked children of the devil who attack "infernalism" (using clever tricks by contrasting "everlasting" with "for ever."  Also in the misinterpretation of Ghehana (The Hebrew shell game using the Hebrew Language to pervert God's word in the Final Authority of King James Bible). And The Eternal Lake of Fire. See Notes below:

There is a tremendous amount of doctrine in each of these terms. I will  go through them below along with in-depth background studies related. Here are some scriptures that point out each of these "places" and they are all REAL. NOT FIGURATIVE as false teachers teach.

  

Heaven is referred to in the King James Bible over 600 times. We understand this is God's abode where we who are saved will dwell eternally with our Lord. In the Essential Background study links, I will point out which go into the varying aspects and levels. The understanding of KINGDOM must also be understood. In short God's Kingdom is LITERAL in scripture and is often referred to as either Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven. In some instances, the Kingdom of God is both in the spiritual sense and the Kingdom of Heaven is in the literal sense. See studies below.

                            

 

John 14:2 

“In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”

King James Version (KJV)

Note: The wicked children of the devil teach "mansions" are apartments and not literal.  MANSION means in context a noun as a chief "stately" residence of a lord as part of a larger place (KINGDOM) (Oxford Dictionary page 1719 in accordance with Greek Strongs G3438/3306. Also see this very detailed study 

"Mansions" or "Rooms" in John 14:2?

2 Corinthians 12:4

“How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.”

King James Version (KJV)

Paradise comes from the Hebrew Root H6508 & Ancient Hebrew Lexicon 3049 - Orchard. Garden of Eden a Park or a grove of trees (interesting the GROVE in reference to BAAL worship where they attempted to plant groves next to altars.  Divine blessing, a place of beauty and abundance.

Regarding levels of heaven, the Bible does refer to different heavens or levels of heaven in a few places:

2 Corinthians 12:2 - "I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven." This is the clearest reference to different levels of heaven, specifically mentioning the "third heaven."


Genesis 1:1 - "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Here, "heaven" refers to the sky or the universe, but it doesn't explicitly mention different levels.


Deuteronomy 10:14 - "Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is." This implies multiple heavens, sometimes referred to as "heaven of heavens."


1 Kings 8:27 - "But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?"

For the Saints who die after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ up to the Rapture of the Church:

1 Thessalonians 4:16 KJB makes it clear:

1 Thessalonians 4:16

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Their BODY is DEAD - Asleep, but their SPIRIT and SOUL are very much aware of their place which is with Jesus Christ in the 3rd Heaven.  The Lost also immediately find themselves in Hell. Themselves = their soul and spirit.

See Study on Spirit and Soul:

The King James Bible gets Really Real about "Things which are NOT Seen"

Note on the False teaching of SOUL SLEEP

Death is a “sleep” for the believer because it is temporary; the resurrection is the “awakening.” But what exactly is it that sleeps, and what is awakened? It is the body, not the soul. A body, when dead, appears to be resting in sleep, and that gives rise to the metaphorical usage of sleep. But the soul does not sleep. The moment we experience physical death, our souls are transferred to a different place. For believers, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:6–8; Philippians 1:23). For unbelievers, death means everlasting punishment in hell (Luke 16:22–23).

Paradise

Luke 23:43

“And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”

King James Version (KJV)

Luke 16:22

“And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;”

King James Version (KJV)

Jesus removing the OT Saints from Abraham's Bosom: Note: more details in Essential Study Links. 

Also there is a very wicked teaching out there that teaches Jesus was human and created by God and became sin explaining in part for the reason of his time in hell. 

Essential here to know this study:

DOCTRINE MATTERS: Jesus Christ did NOT Become Sin for us; He was MADE TO BE SIN for us.

BOMB Disposal of Christology in the LAODICEAN Church

1 Peter 3:18-20 - This passage speaks of Jesus preaching to the spirits in prison.

Ephesians 4:8-10 - It refers to Jesus descending to the lower parts of the earth.

Acts 2:27, 31 - These verses use the term "Hell" (the place of the dead) in the context of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.

Hell - The holding place of unspeakable torment: 

Luke 16:23 

“And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.”

Luke 16:24

“And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.”

King James Version (KJV)

In the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, Jesus speaks about hell and eternal damnation in several passages. Here are a few key references:



Matthew 5:29-30: "And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell."


Matthew 10:28: "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."


Mark 9:43-48: "And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never sha... for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."


Matthew 25:46: "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal."


Luke 16:23-24: "And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame."

Hell's partion - separation for the Old Testament Saints before they were removed from Abraham's Bosom:

Psalms 16:10

“For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.”

King James Version (KJV)

1-3 of 3 verses containing the word “paradise”

Lk 23:43
...thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
3857

2 Cor 12:4
...he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which...


Rev 2:7
...which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

 

Eternal Lake of Fire

Revelation 20:15 

“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

Revelation 14:11

“And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”

King James Version (KJV)

Note: This is also in the works of being a separate study. The timing of this article coming to my attention by one of my subscribers while I was working on this article is astounding.


How long did “for ever” last in Bible times? – KJV Gospel Resources

 Focus first on why this wicked author is actually attacking the soteriology of "infernalism" . He is trying to disprove "eternal punishment" by playing on everlasting and forever. Also, final not to assist your study is understand that he is trying to take Exodus 21:6 out of context.

 In this context this term forever literally means:
permanent dedication. Focus on the word DEDICATION without end. Now there is a very deep background of a type and shadow of the Millennial Reign and Eternal state whereby we know there are good and wicked servants of the parable of the talents in Matthew 25 and looking at Revelation 22:15. HOWEVER, DO NOT GET TOO WRAPPED UP in this because we do not have enough clarification regarding any further meaning in Exodus 21:6 other than the CONTEXT of PERMANENT DEDICATION. It is very easy for the devil to lead us down rabbit holes looking for answers that are not given specifically to us in scripture. REmember this study by Cameron Moshfegh:


The study of Scripture for doctrine and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil by Cameron Moshfegh

But focus rather on how this wicked REPROBATE tries to say the REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST is NOT FOREVER. ALWAYS REMEMBER CONTEXT. Also see my study on MELCHIZEDEK = Jesus Christ to help you in your study. It is very strange that you present me with this just while I am currently working on a Blog about Heaven, Paradise, Hell and the Eternal Lake of Fire.

Melchizedek, My Kinsman Redeemer

Gehenna: This term is derived from the Hebrew "Ge-Hinnom," which refers to the Valley of Hinnom, a place outside ancient Jerusalem where child sacrifices were made to the pagan god Moloch. In the New Testament, Gehenna is used metaphorically to represent a place of final punishment for the wicked. It is often associated with fire and eternal torment.

"Ge-Hinnom" or "Valley of Hinnom." The term "Ge-Hinnom" in Hebrew is listed as Strong's Hebrew #1516 for "ge" (valley) and #2011 for "Hinnom." Combined, they refer to the valley outside Jerusalem associated with the term Gehenna in the New Testament.

The terms “Kingdom of Heaven” and “Kingdom of God” in the King James Bible are most often used in the New Testament and most often are used interchangeably indeed intriguing, and they are often discussed in biblical studies. In the King James Bible (KJV), these terms are primarily found in the New Testament, and while they are sometimes used interchangeably, they also carry subtle distinctions based on context.

Kingdom of Heaven:

Predominantly used in the Gospel of Matthew.


The phrase "Kingdom of Heaven" appears approximately 32 times in Matthew.


Matthew's audience was mainly Jewish, so he used "Heaven" to avoid saying the name of God directly, out of reverence.


Focuses on the spiritual reign and sovereignty of God over His people.

Kingdom of God:

Used throughout the Gospels, including Mark, Luke, and John.


This phrase appears about 68 times in the New Testament.


It emphasizes God’s authority and rule universally, beyond just the spiritual or eschatological context.


It refers to God’s reign both in the present (within believers) and in the future (full realization with Jesus' return).
