HELL:
an old English term used to translate the HEBREW terms SHE'OL and GEHENNA. In most religions Hell—or the Hells—is the place of the dammed. In the YOGIC religions, however, escape from Hell is ultimately possible through eventual REBIRTH. In traditional ABRAMIC religions Hell appears to be the permanent state of the wicked and implies eternal separation from GOD.
