Kabalistic literature, such as the Zohar and Hesed L'Avraham, ancient folklore, myths, legends, and the Greek underworld of Hades, all point to a hollow earth. Where did these and other ancient writings get this idea? Why was it so popular in many cultures?
Edmond Halley, whom the Halley's Comet is named after, believed, taught, and wrote about a hollow earth. He used science to back his theories. In 1781, Le Clerc Milfort led hundreds of Creek Indians into a series of underground caves at a specific junction of the Mississippi river, near Red River. Milfort reported finding large underground caverns that could easily hold around 20,000 families. Ancestors of the Creek Indians that went with Mr. Milfort claim to have been inside the hollow earth.
In 1818, John Cleves Symmes, Jr. taught his theory on the hollow earth, and while he never published a book on it, James McBride did. In 1826 McBride published Symmes' Theory of Concentric Spheres. I read that book. It was well written, and I do suggest it to those interested in the study of Hollow Earth Theory. You can read Symmes' Theory of Concentric Spheres for free, here.
There are many scientists, both from the past, and in the present, who adhere to the hollow earth theory. A quick Google search can give you more information and names. Why is this theory still around? Because it is true, and I will prove it to you in a few moments...
Another great book for the study of Hollow Earth is The Hollow Earth: The Greatest Geographical Discovery in History
Remember, aliens are nothing more than devils, masquerading as aliens, ghosts, certain apparitions, and more. For more information on the devil/alien connection, I suggest the book Unholy Communion
Now, the warning... The above book called The Hollow Earth: The Greatest Geographical Discovery in History does have some baloney in it, and some new age balderdash, so just look out for that. This leads me to an even bigger warning. There are esoteric cults that also are strong proponents of the Hollow Earth, and this can lead down many paths of destruction. The cultic, esotericist, Theosophist Alice Baily claimed to have visited the inner earth via an out of body experience.
Hollow Earth Theory is fraught with New Age and Satanic cults, but it's also surrounded by sound scientific theory, and Christian backing - believe it or not.
Many books, both old and new have been written, and are still being written about Hollow Earth, from many different people, from many different walks of life. This theory isn't going away, because this isn't a theory, it is a fact.
I have never been to the hollow earth, but there are people who claim to have been. A famous person in this small list of inner earth visitors would be Admiral Byrd. There is a diary that some claim is by him, which describes his journey in detail, but many have dismissed the dairy as a forgery. Whether it's a forgery or not isn't as important as what he was witnessed as saying, not too long before his death:
"I'd like to see that land beyond the (North) Pole. That area beyond the Pole is the Center of the Great Unknown!"
If "beyond the pole" were to mean on the other side of it, then this would make no sense. There's not land on the other side, there is just more ice and snow. The land on the other side is not the "Great Unknown" today, nor was it during Byrd's time. Byrd radioed, wrote, and told of his adventure heading into the inner earth. The newspapers had even carried articles about it. Supposedly, he was told to hush about this. Yet, we have the above quote, written down and preserved by his loved ones. Certainly the "Center of the Great Unknown" "beyond the Pole" is inside the Pole.
Proof That The Earth is Hollow
Are you ready? We don't have to go there, to know the earth is hollow. I can prove it to you, because I learned the earth is hollow, long before I knew of Mr. Halley's theory, that of Symmes, Admiral Byrd, or any of the others. I had read a true book that told me about the earth being hollow, and that book is inerrant, and only tells the truth. The name of that book is The Holy Bible.
Remember what I wrote about the other day? What Churchianity says the Bible says, and what the Bible really says are often significantly, and jaw-droppingly different. Hollow Earth is just one of those on the list of many. While some churches teach about the hollow earth, most do not.
I am going to take you on a little, abbreviated journey into what the Bible teaches about the hollow earth. I say "little," and "abbreviated," because there are many Scriptures in both Testaments of the Word that teach us about this, but I am not going to get into each one. These nuggets of treasure are there for you to mine, whenever you are ready to seek them out, in your own personal studies of the King James Bible.
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." -Genesis 1:1-2
When the earth was without form, the earth was there, meaning the materials were all there, but they were not formed yet. Think of it this way... In a round glass bowl, throw in some dirt from outside, and then pour in some tap water. We'll call these the ingredients for earth. Now, let's form it. Earth is round - it spins. In Genesis 1:3 light is created. It is created before the orbs that produce the light. As a side note, this is why we can see light, say, from a star that is a billion light years away. Light was created first, and was already here, before the orb producing it was created. God can create things in whatever order He wants, can He not?
Since light was created in verse three, this may be the spot where the earth was also given form; somewhere in verses 3-10. We can derive this from reading what is created next, and how.
Think back to our bowl of water and dirt example. This symbolizes the earth without form, but with the ingredients there. Centrifugal force creates the form. Spin the bowl. What happens? You get a round shape, and the inside is hollow.
Why aren't planes allowed to fly over the poles? They are no fly zones. Why are ice burgs made of fresh water, when the waters around the poles are salt, and what of the fresh vegetation found inside of them? Why do explorers report the weather getting warmer, as they go "beyond" the magnetic poles? In a documentary put out about Admiral Byrd, by the military, it says how land with liquid water, and no ice was found "beyond" the pole. Later, that land was searched for, all around the pole, and was never found again - only snow and ice. Is this because the explorer actually went into the pole, but didn't know it? The earth very slowly starts slopping down as you approach the poles, so it's reasonable that one could enter the pole without noticing they are going down. It is subtle. Why do animals in the North Pole region, such as the musk ox, travel north in the winter, instead of south? It is very often reported that during many large earthquakes, the earth rings like a bell. Perhaps this is because the earth is hollow. All the planets are, thanks to centrifugal force.
What is Inside the Hollow Earth? Compartments?
"They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains." -Deuteronomy 32:21-22
The fulfillment of "For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains" is yet future. We can read more about that in 2 Peter 3:10 and Revelation 21:1. The part I want to point out, is "unto the lowest hell." If there is a lowest hell, then there is a higher hell. Let's keep this in mind. Where is hell? The Bible tells us:
"The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath." -Proverbs 15:24
"Though they dig into hell,, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down" -Amos 9:2
"It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?" -Job 11:8
"For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell." -Psalm 86:13
"If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there." -Psalm 139:8
"Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell." -Proverbs 5:5
"Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death." -Proverbs 7:27
"But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell." -Proverbs 9:18
"The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath." -Proverbs 15:24
"Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations." -Isaiah 14:9
"Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit." -Isaiah 14:15
"I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth." -Ezekiel 31:16
"They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen." -Ezekiel 31:17
"And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living." -Ezekiel 32:27
"Though they dig into hell,, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down" -Amos 9:2
Where is hell? According to the above Scriptures, hell is "down," regardless if you are in America, China, or elsewhere on earth. Hell is always down, which means inside the earth. Hell is a "pit," which is a hollow space. There are compartments, because there is a "lowest hell," and further, an above scripture mentions attempting to dig into hell. Some of the above Scriptures also tell us hell is a pit. Pits are hollow. If you were to dig through the earth, straight from America to China, you'd hit a point where there is no longer a "down." This would be the bottomless pit. That makes sense. Some ancient and later reports of supposed eye witnesses and legends about the inner earth describe an "inner sun." I believe that is the Lake of Fire, viewed from a distance. Just as the bottomless pit would have no bottom, neither would the lake of fire, which would likely make it appear like a round ball of fire. The hell compartments of Outer Darkness (the pit) and the Lake of Fire are inside the earth, and that is that. However, that's not all of the hollow earth. There's more. But first, here's a few New Testament Scriptures showing the location of hell:
"And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day." -Matthew 11:23
"And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell." -Luke 10:15
"And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works." -Revelation 20:3
More New Testament Scriptures coming up through out the rest of this article...
The Compartments Inside the Hollow Earth
There are at least three compartments inside the hollow earth, and maybe more.
Outer darkness, also known as the "pit," or "bottomless pit" - "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand." -Revelation 20:1
The Lake of Fire - "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Revelation 21:8
Paradise (this Paradise is not to be confused with the paradise in heaven above, the paradise of the garden of Eden, or the paradise on the earth after the millennium.)
The Paradise Compartment:
"And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence." -Luke 16:23-26
The above is not a parable. When Jesus spoke in parables, He said so. The above was spoken as a true story, because here Jesus IS relating a true story.
Those who died in the Lord before Jesus was crucified went into the paradise compartment, where a gulf was fixed between that and hell. When Jesus died, what did He do before His resurrection? Here's the answer:
But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) -Ephesians 4:7-10
Jesus descended into the "lower parts of the earth?!" Did he descend into solid rock, an iron core, or molten lava? He preached to spirits in there, as you'll see in a minute. Were those spirits crammed inside rock? The earth is hollow, else this would all be absurd.
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. -1 Peter 4:6
Before Christ's death, there were those who hadn't heard the Gospel yet, and died. The Gospel was preached before the New Testament:
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. -Hebrews 4:2
The chance to have the Gospel preached to them was given in the paradise compartment, for those who never heard. The paradise compartment is a compartment of hell, but not of torment. Those who died in the flood, who didn't have Nephilim blood, were preached to as well. Jesus preached the Gospel to them there, and they had the choice to accept or reject:
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. -1 Peter 3:18-20
After Christ's preaching in the paradise compartment of hell, the paradise compartment was emptied. Those who were for Christ went to heaven, and if any denied Him, they were moved to the outer darkness compartment.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them. -Psalm 68:18
I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. -Isaiah 42:6-7
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised -Luke 4:18
For those of us who have been born since Christ's death and resurrection, we never see the paradise compartment. If we are saved, we immediatley go to heaven after death, and those not saved join the other lost in Outer Darkness.
Paul speaking to Christians, said:
"We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." -2 Corinthians 5:8
Christians go straight to heaven after death.
Is it possible for people to physically journey into the paradise compartment inside the earth? Did Admiral Byrd do so? I don't know.
Souls of lost humans awaiting the Great White Throne Judgment are not the only ones inside the earth at the moment, by the way. Take a look:
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment -2 Peter 2:4
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. -Jude 1:6
Conclusion
There are hollow compartments inside the earth - Paradise, Outer Darkness/The Pit, The Lake of Fire, and maybe more. The earth is hollow. The Bible is clear that hell is inside the earth. The lost, awaiting judgment are in the pit right now, along with the angels that sinned, that we read about in Genesis 6:1-4.
