“Gehenna” is a term that originates from the Hebrew “Ge Hinnom,” referring to a valley near Jerusalem that became associated with the idea of a cursed place. In historical and religious contexts, it is often linked to concepts of hell or a place of punishment for the wicked after death. In some interpretations, Gehenna is viewed as a metaphor for spiritual purification or judgment rather than a literal place of eternal damnation. The term is used in biblical texts, particularly in the New Testament, to signify a state of separation from God.
