Are there different levels of hell

There are degrees of punishment:

" 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 32:22

" And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more." Luke 12:47-48

" But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you." Matthew 11:22

" 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 20:13

In Greek there were multiple words for our modern usage of "hell."

Gahenna, Hell, Lake of Fire

Try also;

Sheoul, Hades, the pit, the outer darkness and the abyss. Among others.

My apology for such a short reply. If you search these words I believe it may help tremendously.

God Bless!
