       Jesus said in Revelation 1:18, “I have the keys of Death and Hades” (ESV). If we go to Revelation 20, John records, “Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain” (Revelation 20:1, ESV). So, if this is in fact Hell, where would we say that Hell is located? Well, it appears that it is located either under the earth, like, say, in the center of the earth or around the center of the earth (like right above it), or it is located perhaps in another dimension. Nonetheless, the smoke from the shaft rises into the sky of the earth and causes the air in general to be clouded in darkness. But it is what comes out of the bottomless pit that is serious cause for concern. From this state of Hell come creatures which John describes as locusts, and many in number. These just aren’t any ordinary locusts, but are supernatural creatures. They have been given the ability to sting human beings just like scorpions can sting us today.
