Welcome to Gospel Truth with Andrew Wamman, a teaching ministry emphasizing God's unconditional love and grace.

The special life teaching on the Power of the Cross is being broadcast

exclusively for our radio listeners. And now here's Andrew. The word hell is used or grave or sometimes the pit.

That's the way it's used in the English.

That's all translated from one Hebrew word shield, S-H-E-O-W-L,

and it is a place that applied,

and again, I had time, I'm not trying to make this a perfect expose on all of this but I'll just give you the

summarization of it.

But that word was used 63 times in the old testament.

Nearly every time that the word grave was used,

it was talking about the godly dead.

They would be, they would go to the grave.

Every time that the word hell was used or the pit it was talking about the ungodly.

I think that there was one exception to that that I found, but basically that's what it did.

And there's many scriptures that talk about this place of shield or hell being in the

center of the earth and some of the scriptures I'll be using tonight show it's a place of

torment, it's a place of

heat and it just so happens that the center of the earth everything we know about it

it's molten lava and it's hot and so here's my here's my condensed conclusions based on these things that I've studied is that I

believe that hell is in the center of the earth in a place that the Hebrew called shield and it was divided into two parts.

I'm going to read here out of Luke chapter 16 and you can see this clearly that the

rich man went to hell and yet he saw Lazarus in Abraham's bosom.
