The Valley of Hinnom; used as a symbol of final punishment.
Used 12 times in the NT, 11 by Jesus. Named after the Valley of Ben-Hinnom where children were sacrificed to Molech (2 Kings 23:10). NOT the same as Hades/Sheol. Gehenna is post-judgment. In Gehenna, Jesus says God can destroy both soul and body (Matthew 10:28), using apollymi (destroy utterly).
The deepest abyss; used once for the prison of fallen angels.
Used exactly once (2 Peter 2:4). Describes fallen angels held in chains of darkness until judgment. Not about human punishment. Should not be conflated with Gehenna or the Lake of Fire.
The final place of judgment in Revelation.
Appears only in Revelation (19:20, 20:10, 20:14-15, 21:8). Death and Hades are themselves thrown into it (Rev 20:14), called the second death. If death itself is destroyed there, the Lake represents destruction, not preservation. Rev 21:8 equates it with the second death.
“And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon–parez.”
“And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.”
“And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Bene–jaakan.”
