HADES, a literal place located in the Earth, contains four compartments:
- Paradise, where all departed Old Testament believers resided until Christ, after His crucifixion and resurrection, went there and led all believers to glory in Heaven.
- Torments, where the souls of all unbelievers reside (to this day) until the Great White Throne Judgement.
- Tartarus, the prison for the Nephilim until God permanently casts them into the Lake of Fire.
- The Abyss, the prison for certain fallen angels and the place where satan will be bound a thousand years following the Tribulation (Genesis 37:35; 42:38; Job 7:9; Psalm 49:15; Proverbs 15:11; Isaiah 38:10).
