Hades and Abyss ~ Is There a Difference?

I would like to start today's post with a reminder that EVERYONE is entitled to their own opinion, thought and belief. We must show love and concern for one another. This is NOT directed at anyone in particular. The following is for all, including myself.

When one sets out to prove how righteous they are, they should remind themselves of the following scriptures...Without love, you have nothing.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 
"If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 
And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing." ~ ASV


Please, don't become a clanging symbol, and always keep love in your heart...thank you.




In light of my previous post "Did Jesus Christ Pre-Exist as Michael the Archangel?" it was brought to my attention that it was believed by some, that hades and abyss are NOT the same thing. Respectively, I disagree. The following is to show you how I do see them both as "one and the same".


Hades and Abyss... (Dense Darkness)

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last, and the Living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

Revelation 22:16 ~ I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.


Jesus Christ ~ The star that holds the keys of death and Hades


What's the difference between death and Hades?


1. Holds the keys of deathFinal Destruction

1. Physical/Spiritual death. (Final Destruction)
Lazarus - John 11:11-15 (Physical death) and the Rich man and Lazarus ~ Luke 16:19-31 (Spiritual death)




2. Holds the keys of Hades ~ "the dead"

2. Abode (place/state of mind) for the Spiritual dead...those in the "dark".
Exodus 10:21-23 ~ In the dense darkness for 3 days.
2 Peter 2:4 ~ Pits of darkness, reserved for judgement.





Who are the dead?

1. Physical/Spiritual death. (Final Destruction)
Lazarus - John 11:11-15 (Physical death) and the Rich man and Lazarus ~ Luke 16:19-31 (Spiritual death)

2. Abode (place/state of mind) for the Spiritual dead...those in the "dark".
Exodus 10:21-23 ~ In the dark for 3 days.
2 Peter 2:4 ~ Pits of darkness, reserved for judgement.


If you're spiritually dead,  you are in dark, is that not, one and the same?
 Exodus 14:19, 20 ~ Egyptians kept in the dark.

We live in an Abyss, a dark world run by Satan. The only way to receive peace is to go to the light. Once Armageddon comes, those left in the dark will go into the deepest part of the Abyss reserved for Judgement. ~ Dense Darkness (same meaning, just more profound) (Revelation 18:8, 20, 23, 24; 19:2, 20)

Matthew 4:16; 6:23; 10:27; 22:13; 25:30 ~ Being in the dark vs being in the light.
Matthew 27:45; Mark 15:33 ~ Jesus Christ was not entombed for the 3 days ~ Friday to Sunday is 1.5 days. Where he went was to the abyss...he went to the dense darkness.

"Being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison." ~ The Abyss/Tartarus. =  Hades/abode/state of mindDense Darkness

John 2:19 ~ I will raise up this "temple" in 3 days, this is in connection with "a ruin, a ruin, a ruin" and not his bodily resurrection. ~ Ezekiel 21:27  Possible blog post on this later.

Jesus Christ became a spirit once again when he died, he was a MAN only while here on earth, he is NOT a man in heaven, he is a spirit being - archangel before he becomes King.

Tartarus (deepest abyss of hades) 
Dense Darkness (state of mind)




Who is the Light of this world? 
Jesus Christ as King

Perspective...
To be spiritually dead/Hades, is to be in dense darkness/Abyss, a bottomless pit...one and the same.

And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.

Pit ~ hole in the ground (grave) the key to the grave.


Grave ~ 

l



And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss [the hole (grave) with profound darkness] and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and cast him into the abyss, (dense darkness) and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time.


Michael ~ Holds the key to the Abyss and is the star coming out of heaven.
Holds the key to the "bottomless pit". (vast, unending darkness = dense darkness) (hole)



"And angels that kept not their own principality, but left their proper habitation, he hath kept in everlasting bonds (chains) under darkness (Abyss) unto the judgment of the great day."

= dense darkness...in the dark. One of the plagues.

Who is the star that falls from heaven with a chain and locks Satan away? Jesus Christ/Michael

1 Thessalonians 4:16 ~ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and "the dead" in Christ shall rise first;

Jehovah with the voice of Michael = Jesus Christ

The Lord (Jehovah) through the mediator (Jesus Christ) = NOT part of a trinity, yet...One and the same. Never forget who the mediator for Jehovah was in the OT...Michael the Archangel. To see the Son is to see the Father. John 1:1 ~ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Who are "the dead" in Christ?

Those who are baptized in death (Anointed) and Born Again. (John 3:3; Romans 91 Peter 1:4, 5) They die in the flesh and come alive in the spirit. (Romans 8: 16) The remaining chosen ones are the other sheep, large crowd. (John 10:16; 12:12; Revelation 7:9

Revelation 17:6
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder. ~ The holy ones and the witnesses (large crowd) of Jesus.





Chess match - pawns (servants)
 
If you had a choice and on the board were pearly white and black onyx pieces ~ 
white (purity) and black (darkness), what side would you want to be on?

The King of Light allows his pawns to have freewill. Fight for him and he'll protect you. (In the Light - Truth)

On the other hand the King of dark, tricks you into believing you have freewill, if you fight for him, you will be enticed with shiny objects, but then he imprisons you to do his will.  (In the dark - Abyss)

Sadly for the King of Darkness, the King of Light is much stronger and believes in justice. He knows the tricks the King of Darkness plays on unsuspecting pawns.

The King of Light allows his pawns who give up their freewill to do His will...by doing so, they're able to conquer the darkness, paving the way for other dark pawns to escape and find the light.

Once that road is paved, the dark pawns then have a choice to make, shed the influence (hold) the Dark King has on them, or remain in the dark. I can't imagine that any dark pawns would want to stay, but sadly, many do. Revelation 16:14 ~ Demonic spirits, if they are in you, you will be destroyed.

Those who try to get out will deal with longsuffering, but when it's all said and done, it will have been worth it, because they will have beautiful everlasting blessings.

Instant gratification or longsuffering?
The choice is yours.


Trust in Jehovah, not in man. (Proverbs 3:5, 6; Ephesians 5:6) When given the opportunity, Man is controlled by Satan...evil. (Ephesians 6:12) Be aware of your behavior at all times. The second you allow yourself instant gratification, you allowed Satan/demons in.

None of us are perfect. It is a constant fight. The more you draw close to Jehovah, the more you will suffer. It's a spiritual war. If that happens, then you know you are on the right path. Proverbs 4:18

We are at the end. You don't need me or any religion to tell you that. We're all experiencing the nightmares of today's society...a year later and masks or vaccines are still a part of the new wardrobe. Anyone that thinks this world will get better is deluding themselves and remains in the dark. (Abyss)

No religion gets it right all of the time. If a story is even a tad untrue, then it's misleading. When one piece of the puzzle is placed improperly, it takes the puzzle in the wrong direction. Same with religion, one false teaching takes you in the wrong direction. Test EVERY inspired statement (1 John 4:1) and again, let no man deceive you.(Ephesians 5:6; 6:12)


All that believe, I will raise them on the last day. (John 6:39, 40
Spiritual dead. (John 7:39)
The dead (John 11:24,25)
Those alive in the spirit, will not see death at all. (John11:26)
He that rejects will be judged on the last day. (John 12:48)

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit.

The only sin to incur death, is sin against the holy spirit (Matthew 12:31)

Why is Romans 10:10-13 so important? "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Because those who are in the dark will be raised up on the last day, but only if they truly have faith and believe they can be saved...the large crowd. To have faith in Jehovah and Jesus Christ, is also one and the same, because Jesus Christ was here as Jehovah's representative (Jehovah in the Flesh through Jesus Christ) to see him is to see the Father, because no one can actually see God and live.




To sum it up...

What is the Kingdom message? 
It's simple. Heart condition...when you do everything in love, all else follows.


Love the Lord thy God and your neighbor, on this the whole law hangs. (Matthew 22:37-40)

Without LOVE you have nothing. (1 Corinthians 13:1-3)

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me.



The chief Archangel Michael holds the key to the dead, those in the dark, the abyss/hades.

Trinity ~ Not a TRIUNE God


Jehovah is Jesus Christ in the flesh (metaphorically), Jesus Christ is the archangel (head messenger) Michael who fought for righteousness in the OT, emptied himself and became a man on earth and was the mediator between God and men, and when he died, he returned to being a spirit again...Michael the Archangel "Angel of the LORD", as explained in my previous 
  • What does the head messenger do?
He becomes God's WORD "messenger" in the flesh. He reveals God's word in person.

John 1:14 ASV — And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

Blog post:

1 Peter 3:18
Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

Michael is Jesus Christ before he becomes King. He becomes King after he binds Satan, he then rules as Jehovah, for a thousand years. After that, Satan will be released and those who side with him will be destroyed indefinitely. 

John 12:13 ~
took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.

What's the name of the lord?
Jehovah's earthly name ~ Jesus Christ
Strong's G2424: Jesus = "JEHOVAH is Salvation"

Please keep in mind, EVERYONE HUMAN BEING DESERVES A CHANCE AT LIFE without the influence of Satan, and it will be for a thousand years. Sheep ~ Eternal Life/Goats ~ Eternal punishment. Matthew 25:31-46 Only Jehovah knows those (anointed) who sin against the holy spirit.

23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming. 
(Anointed ~ John 10:14, 15; 1 Peter 1:4, 5 and great crowd/multitude ~ John 10:16; Revelation 7:9)

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power. (Revelation 20:10)

25 For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet. (Revelation 20:7-10)

26 The last enemy that shall be abolished is death. (Revelation 20:6; 21:8; 22:5

27 For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him.

28 And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all. (Revelation 21:7)

 
One Big Happy Family.


May Jehovah bring you...
~ Peace, Love and Joy ~
