“Gehenna” is a term that originates from the Hebrew “Gehinnom,” which refers to a valley near Jerusalem that was associated with the worship of idols and child sacrifice in ancient times. In a religious context, particularly in Judeo-Christian thought, Gehenna is often used metaphorically to describe a place of punishment or hell. It represents a state of spiritual destruction or a place of torment for the wicked after death. In literature and theology, Gehenna symbolizes the ultimate consequence of sin and moral failure.
