At first glance, hell, hell fire and lake of fire can be confusing because of the “hell” and “fire” alliteration. After a careful study of the scriptures, hell, hell fire and lake of fire are used interchangeably but there are differences and similarities between the three topic of discuss.

Hell is a place of torment for the souls of the sinful dead (Matthew 23:33). It is a place somewhere beneath the earth where the sinful dead are confined and tormented (Proverbs 15:24). A case study of hell in the scripture is Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16:19-31). The rich man who had all the moments of comfort saw the poor beggar—Lazarus in Abraham’s bosom.

Luke 16:23 KJV: “And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.”

In Luke 16:23, it was written that the rich man lifted up his eyes being in the torment of hell to beg Lazarus water (Luke 16:24). The rich man lifting his eyes up signifies the Abraham’s bosom was up and hell which the rich man was, was down and somewhere beneath the earth. It was a scenario where the chief became the beggar and the beggar became the chief. What a paradox!

Hell is a temporal place of torment. The souls in hell awaits the final resurrection where everyone will be judged according to his or her works and anyone whose name is not found in the book of life is thrown into the eternal lake of fire (Revelation 20:12; 20:15). The lake of fire is the final destination and permanent dwelling place for all who are confined in the hell presently after they will have been judged and made aware of their various offenses (Hebrews 9:27).

Hell fire and lake of fire are most times used interchangeably and can mean the same thing. First, we need to understand that the lake of fire is a pit that has been or will be dug for Satan, his angels and all antagonistic rebels of God's word both angelic and human (Revelation 21:8 ). While hell is not a pit but a temporal place of torment with entrance and exit (Matthew 16:18), lake of fire is a pit with lake-like flames where the devils, his minions and all unrepentant sinners will torment day and night for ever and ever (Revelation 20:10; 21:8 )

In the King James version of the Holy Bible, Hell fire, lake of fire and everlasting fire refers to the same thing i.e. the eternal destination of sinners, demons, and Satan (Matthew 18:9; Revelation 20:15; Matthew 25:41).

Satan is not in hell right now but still moving to and fro the earth seeking who to devour with his kingdom in the heavens and in high places (Ephesians 6:12; 1 Peter 5:8; Job 1:7).

1 Peter 5:8: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”

After the resurrection of Christ and before His ascension, Christ descended to the place where the old testament saints were kept and together with them, He ascended to heaven (Ephesians 4:8-9). With the death of Jesus on the cross of Calvary, Christ destroyed the works of Satan and snatched the keys of hell and death from him and behold Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father with the keys of hell and death (Revelation 1:18).

Revelation 1:18: “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”

Accept Jesus today because He has the power to save and rescue you from sin, hell and death (Romans 6:23).

Yeah, the story of Lazarus and the the rich man is a parable; I just used it as an illustration.

No hell? But, that's not what the Bible says. There is hell brother and don't live in comfort with sin and wickedness with the self taught that judgment and repercussion won't follow.

Repent before it's too late (Matthew 4:17).

Why will there be a second judgement considering the fact that the people in "Hell" were already judged to be sinful?

Ecclesiastes 12:7 KJV
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

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.

The human body is made up of the body, spirit and soul. At death, the body goes to the ground; the spirit—the life giving part of man return back to God that gives it; while the soul either goes to hell or heaven to be with God.
