Old Testament Perspective on Hell

The Old Testament contains abundant references to the fate of the wicked, using various verbs, figures of speech, parables, and illustrations. However, contrary to the traditional view of hell, these references suggest total destruction, perishing, and disappearance, rather than eternal suffering. The misconception that the Old Testament has no useful information on the subject of hell is debunked when one delves into the detailed descriptions of the end of the wicked in the Old Testament.
