I do believe that the scriptures and our Rabbi Yeshua does teach us about a place of punishment for those whom are in rebellion against Adonai. Yeshua did teach on this concept of Sheol and Gehenna on several occasions. So, if it has importance to our Master, it must be important. And, He also used it as a means to warn others. So, I would not right off warning people about going to hell...because our Master thought it important to do so.
"They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring to all flesh." Yeshayahu (Isa.) 66:24
The above communicates not only permanence (their dead), but something beyond death as communicated regarding the worm that does not die and a fire that is not quenched...What would it matter if they are already dead. The dead don't care. It is meant as a warning.
A Messianic believer by the name of John Mckee wrote a few good articles. He states,
"The Scriptures are clear that whoever rejects salvation in Messiah Yeshua will be consigned to eternal punishment and separation from Him. What this punishment is remains a debate, but the written Word is clear that it will be eternal and entirely unpleasant:
“There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth there when you see Avraham and Yitzchak and Ya’akov and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, but you yourselves expelled” (Loukas/Luke 13:27).
“And I say to you, that many shall come from the east and west, and will recline with Avraham and Yitzchak and Ya’akov in the Kingdom of Heaven; but the sons of the Kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness, where there will benweeping and gnashing of teeth” (Mattityahu/Matthew 8:11-12).
“And the Devil who deceived them was thrown into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10).
Paramount to understanding the doctrine of Hell is what our Lord Yeshua Himself told us about it. One of the best examples comes from Loukas/Luke 16:19-31 in the story of Lazarus and the rich man. Yeshua very clearly tells us that Sheol or Hades is a place where the souls of the dead, or more specifically those of the condemned currently go.
“Now there was a certain rich man, and he dressed in purple and fine linen,making merry splendidly every day. And a certain poor man named El’azar was laidat his gate, covered with sores, “and desiring to the fed with what fell from the richman’s table; otherwise, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores”
(Loukas/Luke 16:19-21).
Loukas/Luke 16:19-21 describes how Lazarus, presumably a leper, would go to the gates the rich man’s house and ask for food. Yeshua tells us that he longed “to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man’s table,” implying he was in dire need of help and care.
“Now it came to pass that the poor man died and he was carried away by theangels to Avraham’s bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried” (Loukas/Luke 16:22).
Loukas/Luke 16:22 records how both men died and how Lazarus’ soul was taken to Abraham’s bosom (Sheol/Hades).
“And in Sheol he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Avraham from afar, and El’azar in his bosom” (Loukas/Luke 16:23).
In Loukas/Luke 16:23, Yeshua clearly describes the torment or torture thatthe rich man had to experience in Sheol/Hades. Although his body was buried, or in the grave (qeber/mneima), the rich man’s soul was fully aware of his surroundings. However, one Bible translation we have run across actually translated this as the rich man “suffering tortures in the grave” (ISR),9 which makes absolutely no sense.
Notice his following cry:
“And he called out and said, ‘Father Avraham, have mercy upon me, and send El’azar that he may dip his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am suffering pain in this flame’” (Loukas/Luke 16:24).
The rich man cries out to Abraham and asks him to send Lazarus from the paradise side of Sheol/Hades to the torment side. He is clearly in a state of torture.
“But Avraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime you received your good things, and El’azar likewise bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are suffering pain. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, in order that those who wish to step across from here to you may not be able, and none may cross over from there to us.’ And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers, so that he may solemnly warn them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ But Avraham said, ‘They have Moshe and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ But he said, ‘No, father Avraham! But if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moshe and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone rises from the dead’” (Loukas/Luke 16:25-31).
Yeshua’s story ends with Abraham refusing to give the rich man what he requests as Lazarus is now “comforted here [in Paradise], and you are suffering pain.” The rich man’s soul is not in his qeber/mnema or grave unaware of his surroundings. Hades or Sheol is very clearly described by our Messiah to be a place where the souls of the dead go. Later, following His ascension, the souls in the paradise side of Sheol/Hades were led by our Lord to Heaven to be with the Father:
“Therefore, it says, ‘WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN.’ Now in saying, ‘He ascended,’ what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the Earth? He Who ascended is Himself also He Who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fulfill all things” (Ephesians 4:8-10).
Is the Story of the Rich Man and Lazarus an Allegory?
Probably the most significant dissertation in Holy Scripture as it relates to the state of the dead after time of death is Yeshua’s story about the rich man and Lazarus. We have specifically called it a story here because we do not believe that the text indicates it to be a “parable” with fictional characters. We believe that what Messiah spoke of was a literal story with real people who at one point in time lived on this planet.
Our primary reason for believing that this account is literal comes from the Greek particle word meaning “a certain, a certain one”10 and it appears many times in the Greek New Testament to represent real things—not things that have been made up. We believe that the anthropos de tis hen plousios is indeed “a certain rich man” (KJV).
According to some, what Yeshua tells us here is only a parable, and we should not accept the story or the setting for what it literally means. There was never a place called Sheol or Hades where the souls of the dead were separated by a gulf. According to these, the Messiah was only using a midrash in order to use this setting to describe something deeper as opposed to just someone being in pain. In some ways, we can agree that there is an important meaning to the story—which is to have compassion on others in need, lest one suffer the consequences. At the same time, however, why would Yeshua use a deceptive story in a “fictional” setting? If we cannot accept the setting of His account as being a real place, why should we accept the story as being legitimate at all? It would be no different if Believers were to use science fiction genres such as Star Trek or Star Wars to explain Biblical concepts. Why deceive people in such a way?" "
The article is fairly extensive and is two parts, but I think this is a good place to start. Let the objections begin
