hands are tied together would only be able to wiggle to get around and would, as his muscles atrophied over time, come to resemble a worm.

Isaiah 66:24; Matthew 22:12–13; Mark 9:43–48; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6; Revelation 20:1–3

7. The wicked will exist in hell forever

“And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:43–44).

Isaiah 5:14; 14:9; 66:24; Habakkuk 2:5

1. Abraham’s bosom

This appears to be the place where the souls of the righteous dead stayed before Jesus took them with Him to paradise.

Luke 16:20–31

If you fall to the center of the Earth, gravity would be equal in every direction and you could not “fall” in any direction. If the very center of the Earth is hollow (which it must be), then you would be suspended in a “bottomless” place.

Numbers 16:30–33; Isaiah 38:17–18; Ezekiel 26:20; Luke 16:26; Revelation 9:1–2, 11

These angels are probably the ones that were referred to as the sons of God that went in unto the daughters of men in Genesis 6:1–5. 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6
