For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
(Deuteronomy 32:22) KJV
This is the first time that the word Hell appears in the Bible. It starts with the description of hell melting the Earth from the inside out. This is so graphic and the meaning is so obvious that it doesn’t need any interpretation but we can give it a context. It also happens to be an explanation of the beginning of hell and why it began: God’s anger.
- Why was God angry? because of sin.
- When did sin enter the world? Genesis 3.
