Three Days in the TombThree Days in the Tomb

The place of spiritual reward for the righteous is often referred to in Hebrew as Gan Eden (GAHN ehy-DEHN) (the Garden of Eden). This is not the same place where Adam and Eve were; it is a place of spiritual perfection.

Hebrew = pardec Greek = paradeisos

Three Days in the TombThree Days in the Tomb

Only the very righteous go directly to Gan Eden. The average person descends to a place of punishment and/or purification, generally referred to as Gehinnom (guh-hee-NOHM) (in Yiddish, Gehenna), but sometimes as She'ol or by other names.

Hebrew = pardec Greek = paradeisos

Three Days in the TombThree Days in the Tomb

The period of time in Gehinnom does not exceed 12 months, and then ascends to take his place on Olam Ha-Ba. (The World to Come)

Hebrew = pardec Greek = paradeisos

Three Days in the TombThree Days in the Tomb

Only the utterly wicked do not ascend at the end of this period; their souls are punished for the entire 12 months. Sources differ on what happens at the end of those 12 months: some say that the wicked soul is utterly destroyed and ceases to exist while others say that the soul continues to exist in a state of consciousness of remorse.
