What the Bible really says about HELL
Hell Is Well Organized
The fact that Hell was originally divided into two distinct parts, Paradise and Torment, is the first indication we have that Hell is a well-organized place. The fact that there are, as we have seen, degrees of suffering, represented by different depths in Hell, is also an indication of a planned order in "the lower parts of the earth." Isaiah (14:15) and Ezekiel (32:23) both mention "sides of the Pit", and Ezekiel adds a fairly lengthy description of souls in Hell positioned in what appears to be a regimented manner, even in Torment, with sinners kept together according to their nationality (32:23-29). In God's spiritual garbage dumps, He obviously separates the garbage to fit into specific bins. And He even has a bin for recyclables - the Bottomless Pit!
Throughout the Bible, but in John's Revelation especially, we are given glimpses of God's orderliness, in Heaven itself, in God's week of creation, in the Law of Moses, and in every other thing He has done that we can observe, it is manifest that God is the Master of organization. Therefore, it should not surprise us to find that "the things under the earth" were also created in a well-organized manner.
