The realm of the dead — not the same as Hell, more like a waiting room
lightbulbThe Greek version of Sheol — the holding area between death and final judgment
From Greek mythology, adopted into biblical language. In the NT, Hades refers to the place of the dead — where souls go after death before final judgment. Jesus told Peter 'the gates of Hades shall not prevail' against the church (Matthew 16:18). In Revelation 20:13-14, death and Hades are thrown into the lake of fire. It's distinct from Hell (Gehenna) — Hades is temporary; Hell is final.
