The Physics of Hell

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
(2 Corinthians 10:4-5) KJV

The popular science (SciPop) rationalization for the liquid outer core is an ephemeral strand of wispy logic. It predates Stephen Hawking but it’s an example of the Hawking Effect. All it has to do is sound plausible.

Great Gulf or Outer Core?

Cutaway of planet earth showing hell at the center

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) New King James Version

Why does Jesus describe a great gulf of open space while popular science (SciPop) has a liquid outer core? It’s a strong delusion so that you’ll believe a lie. The lie is: you don’t need a savior, there’s nothing to be saved from.

In Hades he Looked Up

And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
“Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’
(Luke 16:23-24) NKJV

The rich man, in hell, lifts up his eyes and speaks of his torment in flame. Here’s the thing: Abraham and Lazarus are also in hell, but they’re not in flame. This may be confusing, but it’s compatible with our model.

The Bosom of Abraham

So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
(Luke 16:22) NKJV

The first thing we have to account for is Abraham’s bosom. The meaning of this is simple, Lazarus was being consoled by Abraham: Abraham was giving Lazarus a hug. That’s how simple it is.

Spirits in Prison – Part 1

For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
(1 Peter 4:6) KJV

In making the case that Jesus was the one who preached to the dead the very first issue that we have to deal with is: what does dead mean? How can someone who’s dead listen to preaching?

He Also Descended

(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
(Ephesians 4:9-10) KJV

Who descended and what are the lower parts of the Earth? Fortunately this isn’t a mystery and we’ve already done the work needed to resolve both issues.

The Devil Walks About

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
(1 Peter 5:8) KJV

Something about which there is considerable confusion is the issue of: where is Satan? A lot of people seem to think that’s he’s DJing a wild party in hell right now but that’s not the case.

The Volume of the Great Deep

Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
(Amos 7:4) KJV

When Noah’s flood took place the waters of the great deep burst forth and flooded the Earth. If we know the volume of water and the radius of the Earth at this time, then we may calculate how deep the water was.

The Volume of Earth’s Mantle

For a fire is kindled in My anger, And shall burn to the lowest hell; It shall consume the earth with her increase, And set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
(Deuteronomy 32:22) NKJV

It’s very useful to know the volume of material in the Earth’s crust and mantle, but before we move on it’s also worthwhile to note that the Earth’s crust and mantle have several Biblical synonyms.

The Lehmann Sheol Discontinuity

Looking out across the molten core of the earth from a place in the lower mantle

The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
(Ezekiel 32:21) KJV

Hell, it turns out, is a lot of things. There’s a midst of hell, a belly of hell and a lowest hell. The Hebrew and Greek words are modified in ways which make groupings that correspond to the regions of the interior of the Earth.
