(See especially Boettcher, De Inferis, under the word ἀϊδής in Greek index. On the existence and locality of Hades cf. Greswell on the Parables, Appendix, chapter x, vol. v, part ii, pp. 261-406; on the doctrinal significance of the word see the BB. DD. [Hades] and E. R. Craven in Lange on Revelation, pp. 364-377.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the negative particle "α" (a) meaning "not" and "ἰδεῖν" (idein) meaning "to see." Thus, it conveys the idea of the unseen or invisible realm. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • 7585 שְׁאוֹל (Sheol): The Hebrew term for the abode of the dead, often translated as "grave," "pit," or "hell" in various English versions of the Bible. It is the Old Testament counterpart to the New Testament concept of Hades. Usage: In the New Testament, ᾅδης is used to describe the place of the dead, often in contrast to heaven. It is sometimes associated with punishment or a state of waiting for the final resurrection and judgment. Context: ᾅδης (Hades) is a term used in the New Testament to describe the intermediate state of the dead. It is distinct from "Gehenna," which refers to the final place of punishment for the wicked. In the cultural context of the New Testament, Hades was understood as a temporary holding place for souls, both righteous and unrighteous, awaiting the resurrection. In the Berean Standard Bible, Hades is mentioned in several key passages. For example, in Matthew 16:18, Jesus declares, "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it." Here, Hades symbolizes the power of death, which will not overcome the church. In Luke 16:23, the rich man finds himself in Hades, in torment, highlighting the aspect of suffering associated with this realm for the unrighteous. The concept of Hades in the New Testament reflects a continuation and development of Old Testament ideas about Sheol, the Hebrew term for the abode of the dead. While Sheol was a shadowy place where all the dead went, the New Testament reveals a more developed understanding of the afterlife, with Hades serving as a temporary state before the final judgment.
