Hell, Sheol, or Gehinom is not the Lake of Fire. Hell and the Lake of Fire are two different places. Hell or Gehenom is a purging machine or "FURNACE" that purges the spiritual dirt and impurities from the souls of the wicked! This means that the souls here still have a chance for Eternal Life (once they are purified).

MESSIANIC-KABBALIST PASTOR GENERAL
The BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY OF LIFE
From the pure Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, the description of Hell or Gehenom are the following:
- Hell is TEMPORARY-- not permanent.
- Hell is a THERAPY-- not an imprisonment.
- Hell is a CLEANSING MACHINE -- not a place for eternal suffering.
The purging is done in Hell by the process of fire of Gevurah. So, every impurity in the soul, the fire of Gevurah or Gehenom must consume or remove (Jer 23:29).
- "Is not My word like fire"--the LORD's declaration--"and like a sledgehammer that pulverizes rock?" (Jer 23:29)
What is SHEOL? SHEOL is Gehenom (Hell), where the wicked cry out but there is no one to have pity on them. Yet, God will remove them from Hell when they are purified enough. The Holy One, blessed be He, will rouse and revive them when they sufficiently purified from their sins that clings hard to their souls (1Sam 2:6).
- The LORD brings death and gives life; He sends some to Sheol, and He raises others up. (1Sam 2:6)
THE MAXIMUM RESIDENCE TIME IN HELL OF IMPURE SOULS IS ONLY 12 MONTHS, NOT FOREVER!
The Zohar reveals that the maximum duration of stay in Hell of an unclean soul is 12 months. For the souls that are less impure than others, they may stay in Hell just for hours, days, weeks, and a few months, depending on how impure they are, and depending on how easy the impurities are removed from them.
People may think that it is just a short period of time, but the pain that will be experienced here in Hell, for every second or minute is indescribable! It is hope that by this length of time, or less, the person would have totally and humbly accepted God's purification process. If this is the case, God will now allow that purified soul to enter His Kingdom and be given Eternal Life.
THE LAKE OF FIRE IS FOR THE INCORRIGIBLE WICKED SOULS!
If a person's soul in Hell will maintain his/her rebellion to God, he/she will not be purified in Hell, which means that he/she is now an incorrigible totally wicked person. God then will totally destroy that wicked soul by throwing him/her into the Lake of Fire! Those wicked souls cast into the Lake of Fire will be totally destroyed; their memory will be totally forgotten, as if they did not exist in the first place!
SECOND DEATH MEANS "AS IF THEY DID NOT EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE." THEY WILL BE TOTALLY FORGOTTEN!
As mentioned previously, when a person dies with a flesh and blood body, his fleshy body decays and returns to dust, but his soul continues to live. This is called the FIRST DEATH -- the Death of the Human Body. The SECOND DEATH is the Death of an impure Soul or Spirit of a living being, whether it is the Spirit of incorrigible wicked Man or an evil Angel.
The FIRST DEATH and HELL will be thrown also into the Lake of Fire and will be no more! (Rev 20:14)
- And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (Rev 20:14 KJV)
THE BEAST, THE FALSE PROPHET, AND EVERYONE NOT LISTED IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WILL BE TOTALLY DESTROYED IN THE LAKE OF FIRE!
- And anyone not found written in the BOOK OF LIFE was thrown into the Lake of Fire. (Rev 20:15)
SATAN AND ALL DEMONIC SPIRITS WILL BE DESTROYED AND REDUCED TO ASHES BY THE LAKE OR RIVER OF FIRE. THEY WILL EXIST NO MORE!
- And THE DEVIL who deceived them was cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were. (Rev 20:10 MKJV)
- The word of the LORD came to me: "Son of man, lament for the King of Tyre and say to him: ... You were in Eden, the garden of God... You were an anointed guardian cherub, for I had appointed you. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked among the fiery stones. From the day you were created you were blameless in your ways until wickedness was found in you. Through the abundance of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I expelled you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and banished you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. Your heart became proud because of your beauty; For the sake of your splendor you corrupted your wisdom. So I threw you down to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings. (Eze 28:11-17)
- By sin after sin after sin, by your corrupt ways of doing business, you defiled your holy places of worship. So I SET A FIRE AROUND AND WITHIN YOU. IT BURNED YOU UP. I REDUCED YOU TO ASHES. All anyone sees now when they look for you is ashes, a pitiful mound of ashes. (Eze 28:18 MSG)
- All those who know you among the nations are appalled at you. YOU... WILL NEVER EXIST AGAIN. (Eze 28:19)
- The cowards, unbelievers, vile, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars--their share will be in THE LAKE THAT BURNS with fire and sulfur, which is THE SECOND DEATH." (Rev 21:8)
- You will trample the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day I am preparing," says the LORD of Hosts. (Mal 4:3)
