Surprisingly, this concept of hell is presented in the 1979 Walt Disney film The Black Hole. The notion that hell is somewhere in outer space, possibly in a black hole, is based on the knowledge that black holes are places of great heat and pressure from which nothing, not even light, can escape. It’s a reference to His incarnation, not to His location after death. However, the New International Version gives a better translation: “he also descended to the lower, earthly regions.” This verse simply says that Jesus came to earth. into the lower parts of the earth.” Some Christians take “the lower parts of the earth” as a reference to hell, where they say Jesus spent the time between His death and resurrection. In the King James Version, Ephesians 4:9 says that before Jesus ascended into heaven, “he also descended.

And the medium’s vision of Samuel was just that: a vision.

Capernaum’s being thrust “down” is probably a reference to their being condemned rather than a physical direction. Also, in 1 Samuel 28:13-15, the medium of Endor sees the spirit of Samuel “coming up out of the ground.” We should note, however, that neither of these passages is concerned with the geographic location of hell. The idea that hell is below us, perhaps in the center of the earth, comes from passages such as Luke 10:15: “And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell” (KJV). Gehenna refers to an eternal state of punishment for the wicked dead (Mark 9:43). Sheol is also translated as “pit” and “grave.” Both Sheol and Hades refer to a temporary abode of the dead before judgment (Psalm 9:17 Revelation 1:18). In the Old Testament, the word translated “hell” is Sheol in the New Testament, it’s Hades (meaning “unseen”) and Gehenna (“the Valley of Hinnom”). Others propose that hell is located in outer space in a black hole. A traditional view is that hell is in the center of the earth. Various theories on the location of hell have been put forward.
