“Hades” refers to the “place of the dead” in the Bible. In the Bible, Hades is a place where the Devil and Satan will go (Matthew 25: 4), a place where sinned angels will go (2 Peter 2: 4), a place where the wicked are punished, and "a place where Satan and those who receive the mark of the beast’s name will go" (Revelation 20: 2, Revelation 14:11).

Through the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus spoke of Hades: "The rich man died and was buried, and he lifted his eyes in pain in Hades." This is the place where the evil rich man who raised money for his own in an illicit way goes and tells that the place of suffering judgment is “Hades.” Mark 9: 48-49 says, "Where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched. For everyone will be salted with fire."

The men that belonged to Korah, who opposed Moses and Aaron in the wilderness, were thrown into the grave by fire. Numbers 16: 31-33 says that the earth was divided, its mouth was opened, and all the people and things that belonged to Korah were swallowed up. "They and all those with them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly.” As such, Satan does not only bring faith out of the hearts of people, but also puts doubt and disbelief leading them into Hades. Ultimately, he himself will be cast into the lake of fire and be judged (Revelation 20: 12-15).

Jesus has the power to judge the last death and even Hades.

Therefore, when our believers are dressed in Christ, they will not commit sins falling into Hades. He knows that his body is a member of Christ and never makes him a member of a prostitute (1 Corinthians 6: 15-20). The fig leaf, which is the result of sin, is taken off and tunics of skin, made by God, is put on (Genesis 3:21). Then shame is gone in wearing the clothes. They are to be acknowledged as sons and daughters of God, and they are dressed with tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering as God's chosen Holy One (Colossians 3:12).​
