Is There a Hell
~~Is There A Hell~~
Hell, Sheol or Hades is there any such place?
Check your scriptures if you dare, I’ll show you the place
There is no place of torture ruled over by the devil
Just a threat in the mind to keep us all on a level.
It does not in the scriptures say - we will forever burn
For all your sins on earth if you do not turn
God inspired the words of the Bible they say
He wanted to help us all - on our good way.
The scriptures inform us that once we are dead
To the dust we return and not torture to dread
From the dust we were created to it we will return
Not a room next to Satan where he can laugh as we burn.
This God In the scriptures promises a resurrection for all
He does not say into a fiery pit we are all doomed to fall.
The pit in the scriptures around Jerusalem ringed
Where the dross and the rubbish were hurled into this thing.
He promises life for those that vindicate his name
For those that do not, they themselves are to blame
But there is no threat of a fiery pit they call Hades, Sheol or Hell
Just to dust in the ground that’s where we will dwell.
Job was a man much loved by God
Asked to be hidden in Sheol until God's anger dissipated, now that’s odd
Why would a man want to be hidden in Sheol or Hell?
Because he knew the truth, and from this we can tell.
He wanted to hide in the grave until resurrected
He was lost and in pain and feeling rejected
God cured this good man that wanted to hide in hell
He rewarded him with more, his quiver he did swell.
In Revelation which is to be revealed - and is visionary
It depicts the devil in flames, now that may be to some quite contrary.
God promised that Satan will burn in Hades for all time.
But man has a chance to be forgiven his crimes
The worst we can have would be no resurrection
Leaving our bones in the ground for archaeological inspection
Ecc :9;5
Job11: 11-14
Ps 1463-4
Hell Hades Sheol through different translations seem to mean grave
