hell, a place of punishment[/caption]
Hell is presented as a created place (heaven is defined as God’s dwelling place, so its existence as that concept goes back forever). And_hell is a consequence of the judgment of God on sin.
Hell did not come into existence until somebody sinned, and God made hell_because of that sin. The OT presents this place as being constantly “expanded” as more and more people die without Christ.
Satan is not really in charge of hell_nor its punishment, but God punishes and tortures him as well as the rest of hell’s population. The punishment comes from God, and Satan is not in control of_hell, nor can he broker anything pertaining to_hell or punishment.
Books on_hell are in this category.
