Seems somewhat optimistic.Nope
Revelation 20:10Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
it doesn't really say what happened to hell after it was cast into the lake of fire... sooo... I leave that up to God.
Revelation 20:10
Would seem to a very bad level of Hell, [eternal,
Sure, you take verses and contrast.It doesn't say it is a level of Hell... but rather a Lake of Fire for Satan.
I thought you asked about Hell.
death and Hell - Hades - afterlife. If physical death removed, is there need for afterlife?Sure, you take verses and contrast.
There is an 'everlasting hell', a type of hell, then in Revelation you get, hell is cast into the lake of fire, at some point. Nowhere do you get, the lake of fire isn't eternal.
Revelation 20:10
Since reference to everlasting hell precedes the book of Revelation, this makes sense[otherwise everlasting hell, and non eternal HELL contradict each other. Can't have both, really.

If one believes in both, then Hell is still eternal. Then one could present verses or what not to argue another type of Hell.
I'm not entirely sure what that means, however there is '[everlasting 'hell', so that wouldn't mean hell doesn't exist.death and Hell - Hades - afterlife. If physical death removed, is there need for afterlife?
Hell/hades is going to be destroyed in the lake of fire. Hades is a temporary prison. It's not the final destination. The final destination people should avoid is the lake of fire itself which is not really in hell. It seems to be in heaven actually but is a place designed to destroy and punish fallen angels.Just an interesting idea, eternal HELL, non eternal HELL, different levels of HELL,

It says Hades.I'm not entirely sure what that means, however there is '[everlasting 'hell', so that wouldn't mean hell doesn't exist.
Everlasting hell is in old testament, also.It says Hades.
It says age long not everlasting...fwiw, if we figure out what lake of fire might be. Fire is purification. Book of Revelation is symbolic, and understands it is you " he who reads".Everlasting hell is in old testament, also.
Hades means hell, though, it's a greek approximation meaning. The christian hell is really bad, though
Agreed, sure. However, this does not take into account levels of HELL? The idea of variated hell is fairly traditional. With a certain 'everlasting hell', Old Testament, and no indication there isn't an everlasting hell, then scripturally, no way. There is an everlasting hell, in other words.It says age long not everlasting...fwiw, if we figure out what lake of fire might be. Fire is purification. Book of Revelation is symbolic, and understands it is you " he who reads".
Revelation 1:3 Lexicon: Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near.
But 'reads' Strong's Greek: 314. ἀναγινώσκω (anaginóskó) -- to know certainly, know again, read
"Definition: to know certainly, know again, read"
Levels of Hades? Like Tartarus ? Elysium? Normal process of purification, imo, can be only on physical plane through metanoia.Agreed, sure. However, this does not take into account levels of HELL? The idea of variated hell is fairly traditional. With a certain 'everlasting hell', Old Testament, and no indication there isn't an everlasting hell, then scripturally, no way. There is an everlasting hell, in other words.
So, Revelation in correlation with that, cannot mean, there is no everlasting hell.

This may not mean there isn't variation, though.
A purifying of the being could be deduced from the construct, ie one sends themselves to that hell. Now, what might that mean. If you are dealing with a very bad spirit, then why a normal process of purification? Doesnt really make sense. There aren't any consequences ? Makes no sense. So, it can't mean there is one purifying aspect of hell.
