A sheep in wolf's clothing.
Physical features of the (inner) core.
For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
(Psalms 86:13) KJV
The lowest parts of the Earth is one of the many ways in which the Bible refers to the core of the Earth. The Hebrew sheol and the Greek hades are used to refer to the underworld realm of the dead, anything below the surface of the Earth.

He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
(Job 28:3) KJV
There are some eyebrow-raising translations of this verse which have been rendered by people who were trying very hard to make sense out of it. Here’s an example:

(Job 28:3) Good News Translation
They search the depths of the earth And dig for rocks in the darkness.
He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
(Hebrews 9:26) NKJV
The “foundation-plan” typically relates to Christ’s incarnation, i.e. coming to Earth in the flesh to be our Redeemer. This divine plan was set and sealed (guaranteed) before creation.

By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
(Ecclesiastes 10:18) KJV
One of our Hebrew gravity concepts occurs in the context of a house so neglected that the roof falls in. The root that the word foundation is derived from is makon. The establishment of a foundation and sinking down are derived from the same root.

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
( Hebrews 6:18-20 )
God cannot lie.

And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
(Mark 9:43-44) KJV
Jesus tells us that the punishment for sin is burning in hell, a fire like in Hinnom. However, hell hasn’t been replaced by burning trash in Hinnom. Hell is expanding, it’s the cause of global warming.

And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
(Revelation 9:1-2) KJV
A gravitational singularity at the center of the Earth stopped time. If time slows down the closer we get to it, then we’ll never get there. It’s a relativistic conundrum, and the center of the Earth has an event horizon.

For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
(Psalms 86:13) KJV
I am making the case that hell is real but I am also attempting to show that this is the result of natural processes. This means by necessity knowing the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end. The only way to know what the earth may have looked like in the past is by what we can see here in the present. This should be pretty obvious but it seems appropriate to point it out. Yesterday I described the current structure of the earth and related it to scripture, however, technically, this month we are looking at what the Bible says happened immediately after the fall of man. There are actually some steps involved in going from the earth as it was at the fall of man to the earth as it is today, so I will give you a brief synopsis.
I’m trying not to get ahead of myself, but on the other hand It’s probably a good idea to have a grasp of the context. I’m also trying to make my posts shorter than they have been getting, so rather than try to cover the whole sequence in one post, we’ll split it up over the next week of posts.
Today’s image shows a proposed internal structure for the earth at the time when creation is completed and before the fall of man. For each physical feature on the diagram I have links to the posts which discuss how the explanation was deduced.
As you can see from the diagram, there is no hell. Hell was not part of the original created earth.
