"I am the LORD thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." (Exodus 20: 2, 4; underline mine)
Note that this verse says "in the water" "under the earth".
Note that this verse says "in the water" "under the earth".
"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2: 10; underline mine)
"And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither look thereon." (Revelation 5: 3; underline mind)
Since Exodus 20: 4 tells us that there is "water under the earth", then let us look at the flood of Noah:
"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." (Genesis 7: 11)
FROM THE INSTITUTE OF CREATION RESEARCH:
"Genesis 7:11 fountains of the great deep. The physical cause of the Flood is clearly identified as the eruption of the waters in the “great deep” and the opening of the floodgates of heaven. These are quite sufficient in themselves to cause and explain all the phenomena of the Flood. The antediluvian hydrologic cycle was apparently controlled by a system of subterranean pressurized reservoirs and conduits, but these fountains were all cleaved open in one day, releasing tremendous quantities of water and magma to the earth’s surface and dust and gas into the atmosphere. The resulting combination of atmospheric turbulence and dust nuclei of condensation was probably the immediate cause of the precipitation of the vapor canopy. The cataclysmic restoration of the primeval deep that resulted left the antediluvian world completely devastated and inundated."
Why do people say heaven is "up" and hell is "down"?
Is it plausible to believe that we, while standing on earth, are standing on top of hell, which is located below the surface of the earth, which is "under the earth"?
Jesus said,
"For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (Matthew 12: 40)
The Greek word for "heart" is Kardia, which means "the inner part of the earth, the grave" or, the grave of the dead.
In the 16th chapter of Luke's Gospel, Jesus tells us the story of a certain rich man who died, and then:
"in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments".
People will have their natural senses in hell: seeing, tasting, talking, hearing, smelling, thirst, and memories---in a place of darkness.
The rich man said, "send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this place."
Then he added: "send him to my father's house: for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment."
Now that we know that hell is located in the heart of the earth, and that we are standing above it as we stand on the face of the earth, we cannot change the position of hell, but we can change the direction our souls will go after death if we will trust in Christ to save us:
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10: 10-11)
