When ever I hear that statement; "what the hell," it is usually connected to the realization of some demonstrative occurrence, so shocking that the words /what the
hell/are applied, even by those considered, by themselves and others as emotionally and intellectually advanced. What the Hell or what just happened, that is so out of this world, so unusual, so provocative, so painful even,... just happened here? The term ; "what the hell," has origins that date back to 1924 as an intended statement. The word hell, signaled as an existing place dates even farther back, the biblical writings and was referenced by Yeshua, who is called Jesus in America.
Jesus referred to hell many times; see [Matt 5:22, Matt 8: , Matt 10:28, Matt 16:
Matt 25:41-46. In the statements Jesus made about hell, he did not do so in any form of pretense, nor allegorically. Rather Yeshua was making statements about a
place beyond topical earth that was in its very existence, one of extreme torture, a
place of intentional suffering.
Paul, a man responsible for approximately two thirds of the New Testament, who had personal encounter with Jesus, in his letter to believers living in Rome stated that one of the ways to identify God's existence, God's signature on earth is easily done by observing the markings of nature. Paul stated in Romans 1:20; God's power and divine nature can be identified and understood, by what is made. In other words, use things in nature to figure out God's invisible imprint. To the many who have issues with the impossibility of hell, as real, we have only to refer to nature.
Globally, today and for centuries, there have existed over 1350 volcanoes. Enclosed in these mountains are liquid hot flowing rivers called lava; the temperature of which reaches and exceeds 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. And for centuries no human, born of a man and woman has taken responsibility for these hot holes; nor has any human undertaken the responsibility of managing or extinguishing this human threats that have over the years, exploded at will, sending miles of liquid burn down into cities, country sides and rural areas. No, humans just stay far away and rapidly move out of the way, when any volcano decides to have a day outside of the mountain. And
what about the interior space; are there any useful features inside the volcano? No,
nothing inside but orange-red-white hotness. And we have no one to inquire as to presence of volcanoes, at least no one on earth. So, if Yeshua and Paul's historical texts are revisited, we may find that what they were semanting; a place called HELL is even now exampled among us; simmering pots of fire, that bubble and stir and randomly explode sending their content into the air, land and sea, without any thought to the potential harm to its neighboring plants, animals or humans.
So the next time you hear the statement "what the hell?', you should refer to the many existing volcanoes in Italy, New Mexico, Krakatoa, Hawaii, Antarctica, and many others. That is the HELL These are examples of real places Jesus spoke of
where many will go, because of the life they chose to live on earth. Revelation 21:8. THESE ARE THE HELL!
