Strong's Lexicon hadés: Hades, the realm of the dead Original Word: ᾅδης Word Origin: From the negative particle "a" (not) and "eido" (to see), meaning "unseen" or "invisible." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7585 - Sheol: The Hebrew term for the abode of the dead, often translated as "grave" or "pit." Usage: In the New Testament, "hadés" refers to the abode of the dead, a temporary place where the souls of the deceased reside. It is often understood as the equivalent of the Old Testament "Sheol," a place of waiting for the final judgment. Hades is depicted as a place of both comfort and torment, depending on one's relationship with God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, Hades was the god of the underworld, and the term also referred to his domain, the place where the dead resided. In Jewish thought, Sheol was a shadowy place where all the dead went, regardless of their moral standing. By the time of the New Testament, Jewish and early Christian thought had developed a more nuanced understanding of the afterlife, with Hades being a temporary state before the final resurrection and judgment.
