In his masterly way, the Lord Jesus brought together all these Old Testament ideas in his use of the word 'Gehenna'. He often said that those who were rejected at the judgment seat at His return would go "into Gehenna (i.e."hell"), into the fire that never shall be quenched; where their worm dieth not" (Mark 9:43,44). Gehenna would have conjured up in the Jewish mind the ideas of rejection and destruction of the body, and we have seen that eternal fire is an idiom representing the anger of God against sin, and the eternal destruction of sinners through death.
Kwa jinsi ya uhodari Bwana Yesu aliyaweka yote mambo haya pamoja ya Agano la Kale kwa kulitumia hili neno'Gehanamu’. mara nyingi alisema ya kuwa wale wanaokataliwa kwenye kiti cha hukumu akirudi watatupwa Gehanamu (Yaani'kuzimu’), katika moto usiozimika; ambako funza wake hawafi (Marko. 9: 43, 44) Gehanamu iliweza kufikirishwa katika akili ya Wayahudi mambo ya kukataliwa na kuharibiwa mwili, tumeona kuwa moto wa milele ni neno lililotumika kwa namna ya kawaida linaloonyesha hasira ya Mungu juu ya dhambi, na kuwaangamiza wabaya kwa mauti.
