Hades in the Bible Is... (Acts 2:27 and Revelation 20:14)

What does the Bible say about Hades (the Greek word hades), also known as Sheol (the Hebrew word šᵊ'ôl)? Hades in the Bible is the temporary abode of the dead (Acts 2:27). It consists of two compartments: a place of comfort (also called Abraham's bosom) and a place of torment that will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:14).
