What does the Bible mean when it refers to hades? Is it teaching about a place of eternal suffering and torment in flames of fire for the unbelieving dead? No.

\nIs hell a good translation of the Greek word hades? No. It is not. While the most basic meaning for hades is similar to sheol, the grave, further development in the New Testament era reveals that hades can primarily be understood as the power of despair, decay, and destruction that enslaves human beings in this life.
