The verse that speaks of hades and death being thrown into the lake fire caught my attention, I understand it was used to speak of hell but it's strange how the wording is used in the scripture itself. The way it's written it is almost as if hades and death were being referred to as if they were actual beings, i mean how do you throw a spiritual place and a life ending happening into a realm of fire?
From my understanding hell is a place within the spiritual realm just as heaven is also a place within the spiritual realm, that being said very few have ever been to the spiritual realm or even seen heaven or hell. But what about death and hades? I know in mythology hades was the keeper of hell or the God of death and torture and the bible speaks of hades but not as an actual being if i am correctly remembering. However death is spoken of as an actual being in the bible like when death took the lives of every first born in egypt when god sent all the plagues to make Pharoh submit
