one could find Hades amongst the 12 Gods of mountain Olympus. He was the king and gatekeeper of the underworld.No one, but Hercules managed to pass him on the way up from theunderworld to the wold of the living people. His real name was Pluton, while hades meant something like "invisible".He was son of Cronus and Rea's and had 2 brothers. He has always been a resident of the underworld, which he rules and has a dog-assistant "Kerveros" which patrols the underworld(mean dog with 3 heads and a snake's tale).Hades, visited the upperworld only once and only for a few seconds, in order to steel Persephoni, daughter of Dimitra's sister, and take her with him in his kingdom.But Zeus intervened and brought her back to her mother after 4 months.\n  Homer (the famous ancient Greek writer), wrote that Pluton was a man of many names, since no one wanted to refer to him by his real name, which awakened the fear of death. Even this name (Pluton comes from Plutos=wealth in Greek) was used by euphimism, because all riches come from the earth's underground.\nGreek mythology and painting present him as a huge, mean creature with bad manners and non reliant to any beg for mercy.

Gabriel comes across as androgynous to me. Angels tend to do so. Same with Satan, since I connect that with Lucifer, and being and angel and all. God I tend to picture as genderless, because I don't picture God as a human.

Loki's daughter is Hel, queen of the Underworld, which is also called Hel.  Loki is a little more than the Mischief God--it might be more accurate to describe him as the Principle of Chaos, or the Shadow Side of Odhinism.

Once again:\n\n The idea of an eternity spent in the flaming fires of an eternal lake of burning sulfer is NOT of the Bible. That is a Catholic discription of hell. \n\nHell is an anglo-saxon word that means "hole" or "to hide". Hel is also the name of the Norse god, not very liked, of the underworld.Where did we get our modern day version of Hell? Return to the 13th century, to the Roman Catholic Church right before the Reformation, to the period of time called the Romantics or Middle Ages where if you were to be anyone in the vicinty of Europe you must be occupied by music, art, poetics, politics, religion or science or some such other endeavor. Dante Alighieri wrote Inferno, published in the year 1300 and as depicted by many artists is the source for our main visual concept of a place that contains all of the souls of the damned that burn for eternity. However, scripture will prove that this is a man made concept.\n\nEncarta: \n\n1. place of punishment after death: according to many religions, the place where the souls of people who are damned suffer eternal punishment after death\n2. devilish power: according to some religions, Satan or the powers of evil that live in hell\n3. underworld: according to some religions, the place where the spirits of all people go after death\n4. suffering: a state or place of extreme pain or misery, or something or somebody that causes extreme pain or misery\n\nHell as translated from the Hebrew word for Sheol: It is used about 65 times yet even the King James Version of the Bible translates this word 31 of these times to mean grave or pit. Sheol literally means to "go down" or be "brought down" as in to be laid low and then covered over and has been used to describe darkness, depths, in the waves of a flood, the deep, the abyss and is used to describe the furtherest place from heaven. In effect it is death. It is also a place of permenance. That is until, of course, Christ concured the grave and rose for us.The three Greek words that are often translated from Sheol are Hades (Hades was a greek god of the underworld and completely pagan), Gehenna (means place of burning and was a literal place, a garbage dump in the Hinnom Valley, a ravine right outside of Jerusalem where at one time pagan gods had been worshipped) and Tartaroo (this is the origin of the Latin term for torture or torment, yet used one time in scripture in 2 Peter 2:4 to describe a subterrainian (sp?) place, dark and deep, but this one time in scripture specifically as a place to put rebellious angels or demons ie...the pit which is where demons fear to go as was stated at the confrontation of Christ with the "legion" of demons Matt 8:29-32 KJV cuz I would imagine that once you go there you don't get to come back out). It might be difficult to fathom but...we as Christians must go back to Christs time and transend the falacies handed to us by our forefathers in the early church...why? Because these lies detract from the Glory of Christ Jesus and blind us to the truth of the Scriptures so that we form scales on our eyelids so as not to see that our God is not a God that would torture and punish for eternity for crimes of selfishness, waste and wickedness in finite world. It is not just. However, the single punishment will be for those that are lost...those that have been ensnared to be resurrected to live again on Judgement day and recieve the wages of sin...death. The absense of life. They will cease to exist. "Be gone from me.."He will say.."I never knew you." To those that have been called and answered...they will hear "Well done, my good and faithful servant." I hope and pray that I'm worthy to hear these words on that day. Yet my Hope is in Him.Love in Christ, Jana ;0) <>< \n\nP.S. to continue real quick lets define death according to the Bible...\n\nof sin and death.\n\nFaith,\n\nper•ish [ pérrish ] \n\nintransitive verb

HELL IN KJV\nOne Hebrew word “sheol” is rendered hell. Definition; hades or the world of the dead (as if a subterranian retreat), grave, hell, pit. Three Greek words are rendered hell; geenna, hades, and tartaroo. Definition of geenna; a valley of Jerusalem, used (figuratively) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment: - hell. Definition of hades; properly unseen, that is, “Hades” or the place (state) of departed souls: - grave, hell. Definition of tartaroo; (the deepest abyss of Hades); to incarcerate in eternal torment: - cast down to hell. Tartaroo is used only one place II Pet.2:4.\nChrist teaching the Pharisees in Luke 16:19-31 shows us a separation from God is truly what hell is. The “water” is symbolic for God’s Spirit and love. The word “tormented” means distressed in the Greek, not torture. The “fire” is symbolic for the shame and desire not to be separated from God. \nSo all who die the first death of the flesh return to God Ecc.12:6-7, but on which side of the gulf do they end up?\nHell is not eternal but is done away with in Rev.20:14-15, called both the second death and lake of fire. This second death is non-existence, for death and hell and those not written in the book of life. This second death or lake of fire is like fat drippings that fall into the fire. Just a poof of smoke into non-existence.\nPsa.37:20  But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.\nIn my mind what’s worse yet is no memory of you, no tears will be shed for you like you never existed.\nRev.21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. \nSo hell is a separation from God and is not eternal torture or burning. Eventually hell will be done away with or passed away and also some souls. Like fat drippings in the fire, a poof of smoke into non-existence, the second death.

Cocytus, the bottom circle of Hell in Dante's Divine Comedy, is depicted as an ice-covered lake.\n\n Cocytus is the ninth and lowest circle of Hell and is frozen by the flapping wings of Lucifer, or Satan. Dante described it as being the home of traitors and those who committed acts of complex fraud. It is divided into four descending "rounds," or sections\n\nCaina, after the Biblical Cain; traitors to blood relatives. \n\nAntenora, after Antenor from the Iliad; traitors to country. \n\nPtolomea, after Ptolemy, governor of Jericho, who murdered his guests (1 Maccabees); traitors to guests. \n\nJudecca, after Judas Iscariot; traitors to masters and benefactors. \n\nLucifer is at the center of the circle, and is depicted with three mouths. One mouth gnaws on Brutus and another on Cassius, the leading conspirators against Julius Caesar, and both are chewed feet foremost with their heads protruding. Judas is chewed head foremost in the centre mouth.

The names are spelt wrong but Hades, the god of the under world kidnapped Persphone, Dementer's daughter. Dementer is kinda like Gaia, she's basiacally mother nature. Once persphone was taken to the under world she ate like one seed of a fruit a promogate (spelt wrong sry) and Zues (head God)decided that persphone had to stay in the underworld for 6 months out of the year. For those six months demeter kills everything (fall and winter) and the other six she returns to Dementer (spring and summer)\n\nHope that helps!

Aker is an earth god who presided over the borders of the underworld.\nAmun is associated with the primordial air.\nKuk is associated with the primordial concept of darkness.\nAtum is the primal creator, associated with the sun.\nBabi is a baboon god.\nNun (also spelt Naunet or Nu) was the deification of the primordial water abyss.\n\nAnat is a war goddess.\nHathor is the personifaction of the Milky Way, often depicted as a cow.\nIsis is most famous for being the wife of Osiris and mother of Horus.\nNeith is a goddess of hunt and war.\nNut is the personification of night.\nAnd Ptah isn't a goddess at all, but the first god.\n\nSo the answer to 1 is Nun and the answer to 2 is either Anat or Neith.  But I would have to lean more towards Anat, as Neith is also considered a goddess of weaving.\nHope this answers your question!

The Beast appears as a satanic version of Christ. We have to be careful what we are looking for because the Jews missed Jesus when he came because they were waiting for a worldly warrior, not the suffering servant lamb that takes away the sins of the world.The Beast could be a literal man like many think or a messenger of GOD like Muhammad or anyone or anything else that resembles Jesus Christ. So watch and pray. We will see soon enough.\nMay GOD richly bless you.

Ya mean exactly what he looks like? Basically it just says stuff like we were created in his image... in fact, half the Bible's just a metaphor, so we dunno if we can trust it. Yeah, but we were created in his image and stuff. Soooo... he looks like a regular human being, except not so regular.
