A word frequently translated as the grave is the Hebrew שְׁא֣וֹל – sheol, but sheol is far more than just the grave. The grave is a portal into the underworld realm of the dead.
Levels of Hell
The levels of hell aren't what you think. However, they're what we would expect. The Hebrews had a well developed idea of life after death. For them physical death, the grave, was a portal into a complex underworld realm: sheol.
Order and Scheduling in the Spirit World
Here's a scary thought: if the beggar was carried by angels into Abraham's bosom, in a chamber in the lower mantle which overlooks hell, did other angels carry the rich man to the lip of the chamber and toss him into hell?
Considerations
There are a lot of variables involved in attempting to correlate news reports of tragic deaths with gravitational wave detections. We're dealing with circumstantial evidence for one.
The Sign of Jonah
The sign of Jonah is one of those things which looks like a Biblical inconsistency and the various ways that Christian scholars have tried to resolve it are hopelessly contrived. On the face of it, it looks like Jesus lied.
It Could Only be Love
Jesus describes the internal structure of the Earth in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. We use this passage to understand that sheol includes a chamber in the lower mantle which overlooks hell.
Hell is Expanding into the Great Gulf
The parable of the rich man and Lazarus is one of the most harrowing in the Bible, that is, if it hadn't been softened by spaghetti theology. It's a conversation with a man who's burning in hell.
Sheol
Sheol refers to life beyond the grave, quite literally an underworld realm of the dead. It's also modified in a variety of ways which can be grouped to correspond to the main regions of the interior of the Earth.
I Shall Go to Him
David says, " I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me." This is taken to mean that David will one day go to heaven to be with the child, whereas the child, in heaven, can't return to the Earth.
In Hades he Looked Up
The rich man, in hell, lifts up his eyes and speaks of his torment in flame. Here's the thing: Abraham and Lazarus are also in hell, but they're not in flame. This may be confusing, but it's compatible with our model.
