GEHENNA

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Gehenna

a) Another term for hell that is used is Gehenna.  This refers to a place that was called Valley of the Sons of Hinnom.  In the New Testament it is referred to as being a place of fire (Matthew 23:15, 33; Mark 9:43, 45, 47; Luke 12:5, Matthew 5: 29, 30; Matthew 10:28; Matthew 18:9).  

b) This valley was a place where refuse and sometimes dead bodies were thrown and the fire never went out because it was continually being added to.  It is much like a city dump that is constantly being burned to keep it from piling up to unmanageable size. 


The End ...
