If you recall the story (this is not listed as a parable) of a certain rich man and the poor man, Lazarus.
Luke 16, verses 19 - 31.
In verse 23, the rich man is revealed to be in "hell", or "hades".
So, it is what Jesus taught.
Normally, it would be easier to simply answer directly, however, seeing as you are asking a more descriptive question in terms of definitions and biblical usage I will rather put my fingers to plagarism.
:-P
I hope the following answers your questions.
The following is taken from the Strong's Concordance:
(my apologies for any typos if I missed any)
86. "Hades" or the place (state) of departed souls: hell (10x), grave (1x).
Hades is
(1) the region of departed spirits of the lost (but including the blessed dead in periods preceding the ascension of Christ).
(2) It corresponds to Sheol in the OT.
(3) For the condition of the inhabitants see Luke 16:23-31. The word is used always by the Lord (Mt 11:23; 16:18; Lk 10:15; 16:23).
(4) It is used with reference to the soul of Christ (Acts 2:27, 31).
(5) Christ declares that He has the keys of it (Rev 1:18).
(6) In Rev 6:8 it is personified,
--- (6a) with the signification of the temporary destiny of the doomed;
--- (6b) it is to give up those who are therein (Rev 20:13), and
--- (6c) it is to be cast into the lake of fire (Rev 20:14).
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
1067. Geenna -- valley of (the son of) Hinnom; ge-henna (or Ge-Hinnom), a valley of Jerusalem, used (fig.) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment: hell (9x), hell fire + 3588 + 4442 (3x).
I looked up Strong's number 4442 and found this interesting tidbit, so I added it too:
4442. [i]Pur[/i], "fire" (lit. or fig., spec. lightning): fiery (1x), fire (73x).
[i]Pur[/i] is used (besides its ordinary natural significance):
(1) of the holiness of God, which consumes all that is inconsistent therewith, Heb 10:27; 12:29; cf. Rev 1:14; 2:18; 10:1; 15:2; 19:12;
--- (1a) similarly of the holy angels as His ministers, Heb 1:7;
--- (1b) in Rev 3:18 it is symbolic of that which tries the faith of saints, producing what will glorify the Lord;
(2) of the divine judgment, testing the deeds of believers, at the judgment seat of Christ 1 Cor 3:13 and 15;
(3) of the fire of divine judgment upon the rejectors of Christ, Mt 3:11 (where a distinction is to be made between the baptism of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and the "fire" of divine retribution; Acts 2:3 could not refer to baptism); Lk 3:16;
--- I personally disagree with this last comment, point (3). The Holy Ghost Fire and the Fire of Divine Retribution is the very same Consuming Fire that God is. And Acts 2:3 is directly referred to baptism (the cloven tongues of fire that appeared and sat upon each of the disciples at Pentecost). I would think that anyone who had understood point (1), the holiness of God, would not have made this misunderstanding of point (3), baptism of the Holy Spirit of God.
[b]Holiness[/b] of God ... which consumes all that is inconsistent therewith
Baptism of the [b]Holy[/b] Spirit ... Acts 15:9, purifying their hearts by faith.
Anyways, back to the Concordance.
(4) of the judgments of God at the close of the present age previous to the establishment of the kingdom of Christ in the world, 2 Th 1:8; Rev 18:8;
(5) of the "fire" of Hell, to be endured by the ungodly hereafter, Mt 5:22; 13:42, 50; 18:8, 9; 25:41; Mk 9:43, 48; Lk 3:17;
(6) of human hostility both to the Jews and to Christ's followers, Lk 12:49;
(7) as illustrative of retributive judgment upon the luxurious and tyrannical rich, Jas 5:3;
(8) of the future overthrow of the Babylonian religious system at the hands of the Beast and the nations under him, Rev 17:16;
(9) of the turning the hearts of an enemy to repentance by repaying his unkindness with kindness, Rom 12:20;
--- Really like this previous point (9).
(10) of the tongue, as governed by a "fiery" disposition and as exercising a destructive influence over others, Jas 3:6;
(11) as symbolic of the danger of destruction, Jude 23.
And, back to 1067. Geenna
Geenna
(1) represents the Hebrew Ge-Hinnom (the valley of Tophet);
(2) it is found twelve times in the NT, eleven of which are in the Synoptists (Matthew, Mark, Luke), in every instance as uttered by the Lord Himself.
--- (2a) He who says to his brother, Thou fool will be in danger of "the hell of fire," Mt 5:22;
--- (2b) it is better to pluck out (a metaphorical description of irrevocable law) an eye that causes its possessor to stumble, than that his "whole body be cast into hell," Mt 5:29; similarly with the hand, v. 30;
--- (2c) in Mt 18:8, 9, the admonitions are repeated, with an additional mention of the foot; here, too, the warning concerns the person himself (for which obviously the "body" stands in chapt. 5);
--- (2d) in Mt 18:8, "the eternal fire" is mentioned as the doom, the chacarcter of the region combined in the phrase "the hell of fire," Mt 18:9.
--- (2e) To the passage in Matt. 18, that in Mark 9:43-47, is parallel; here to the word "hell" are applied the extended descriptions "the unquenchable fire" and "where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched."
(3) That God, "after He hath killed, hath power to cast into hell,"
--- (3a) is assigned as a reason why He should be feared with the fear that keeps from evil doing, Lk 12:5;
--- (3b) the parallel passage to this in Mt 10:28 declares, not the casting in, but the doom which follows, namely, the destruction (not the loss of being, but of well-being) of "both soul and body."
(4) In Mt 23 the Lord denounces the scribes and Pharisees, who in proselytizing a person "make him two-fold more a son of hell" than themselves (v. 15),
--- (4a) the phrase here being expressive of moral characteristics, and
--- (4b) declares the impossibility of their escaping "the judgment of hell," v. 33.
(5) In Jas 3:6 "hell" is described as the source of the evil done by misuse of the tongue; here the word stands for the powers of darkness, whose characteristics and destiny are those of "hell."
(6) For terms descriptuive of "hell," see e.g., Mt 13:42; 25:46; Phil 3:19; 2 Th 1:9; Heb 10:39; 2 Pet 2:17; Jude 13; Rev 2:11; 19:20; 20:6, 10, 14; 21:8.
(7) The verb tartaroo, translated "cast down to hell: in 2 Pet 2:4, signifies to consign to Tartarus, which is neither Sheol nor hades nor hell, but the place where those angels whose special sin is referred to in that passage are confined "to be reserved unto judgment"; the region is described as "pits of darkness."
