My servant Isaiah has been going around too sexy for YouTube for three years. (Isaiah 20:3) Paraphrased
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
(Hosea 13:14) KJV

Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword: Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.
(Ezekiel 32:22-23) KJV

And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
(Luke 16:23) KJV
We’ve made an extensive study of the ways in which the interior of the Earth is described in Old Testament Hebrew, but how is it described in New Testament Greek? The doctrine isn’t as well developed but it overlaps harmoniously.

And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
(Genesis 2:5-6) KJV
The context of the mist that went up is important. It’s part of the narrative of the week of creation when the fountains of the great deep had to be sealed after the deep had drained through them into the interior of the Earth.

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
(Jeremiah 10:12, 51:15) KJV
It turns out that theologians fudge their data just like scientists do. Sometimes things don’t make sense, do they? What could possibly be wrong with helping them make sense? This approach is inductive, aka eisegesis.

All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
(Revelation 13:8) KJV
Why was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world? So that light could become darkness, good could become evil, the sinless could become sin, and we could have sentient life with free will.

Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
(Leviticus 19:27) KJV
Here’s a little nuance for you: Human head don’t have corners, but a beard can. We can illustrate this by putting a cheese slice on a kid’s ball. The cheese has corners, the ball isn’t flat.
