Listen "Sheol, Death, and the Grave"
Episode Synopsis
This is Empires of the Future, conversations to encourage the Church in a time of change.
Sheol, Death, and the Grave
“There are three things that are never satisfied,
four that never say, ‘Enough!’:
the grave, the barren womb,
land, which is never satisfied with water,
and fire, which never says, ‘Enough!’
Proverbs 30:15
“Sheol”, here translated “the grave” is a complex concept in the Bible. What did Old Testament believers (and non-believers) think when they spoke of “Sheol”? What are Christians to think about the afterlife? What is the relationship between the Hebrew “Sheol”, Greek “Hades” and “Gehenna”, and English “Hell”? We consider all these questions and more in this episode of Empires of the Future.
