Hell was the third most frequent topic Jesus taught about (in 172 verses) however The Bible does not say exactly what hell is like.

In the New Testament Hades/Hell is described as a place of torment, of eternal fire, the blackness of darkness, a place you cannot escape from.

Jesus spoke of hell as a place where "their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched". Mark 9:46

It will be 'hell' because God will not be there.

It wasn't until Dante wrote about the Inferno that people 'knew' more about hell than what little was written in the bible.

What is hell how is it What is heaven how is it?

Many Christians believe that Hell is the place where evil-doers and those who did not accept Jesus Christ will go at the end of time. Views on what it is like vary from it simply being a place without God to being a burning pit, where sinners are tormented for their evil deeds; it is also said to be the dwelling place of Satan, the father of lies. (It should be noted that not all Christians believe that non-Christians are condemned to hell, but some Christians do in fact believe this.) Heaven is where Christians believe that those who have been good and led a life in accordance with God's teachings, will go to at the end of time. Some Christians believe only other Christians will go there. Some Christians believe that all people who led a good life will go there. Heaven is the kingdom of God, where God is one with everyone and they are one with God. Christians also believe that Jesus is there, sitting at the right hand of His Father. It is impossible for us to know what Heaven and Hell are really like, but most Christians believe we just have to trust God to make the right choice, in his infinite wisdom, and hope that someone who willingly let his son die for us won't condemn all the good people in the world who aren't believers to Hell.
