hell fire = the gehenna of fire, from Hebrew. gey Hinnom = the valley of Hinnom, profaned by the fires of Moloch worship (2Ch_33:6), and defiled by Hezekiah. Also called "Tophet", Isa_30:33. Here the refuse of Jerusalem was continually being burnt up by the perpetual fires (compare Jer_7:31-33. 2Ki_23:10. Mar_9:48. Isa_66:24). See App-131.
I. Gehenna . Gr. geenna . This is the transliteration of the Heb. Gai' Hinnom , i.e. the Valley of Hinnom or "the Valley" of [the sons of] Hinnom, where were the fires through which children were passed in the worship of Moloch.
Yet Christians today teach that God will do this thing, which He calls an Abomination.
Jer 32:34 But they set their abominations in the house, upon which My name is called, to defile it.
Jer 32:35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it intoMy mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
And let's not forget:
Luk 9:54 And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, desire Thou that we should call down fire to come down from the heaven, and consume them, as Elijah also did ?
Luk 9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
Luk 9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to a different village.
