Heaven and Hell

In biblical times, the afterlife realm was called Sheol—the "covered place." It contained both Paradise (a place of comfort for the faithful) and Prison (a place of separation for the unfaithful). Yeshuans teaches that this temporary structure existed under the old covenant. When Christ fulfilled all things, including the resurrection and judgment, Sheol was emptied and ended. Since 70 A.D., the afterlife exists within the New Jerusalem, described in Revelation as a spiritual, post-fulfillment reality with “gates open all day” (Revelation 21:25). There is no more waiting place, no more separation through Sheol. Modern Christianity often misreads Sheol’s temporary roles as permanent destinations called “Heaven” and “Hell.” Yeshuans corrects this by restoring a fulfilled, covenantal understanding of the afterlife.
