When was hell created?

 

[Fr.Charles_Grondin]

The problem of asking “when” is that time does not exist outside of the material world. However, we can say that the existence of hell (the state of existence outside the presence of God) coincides with the fall of the angels who rejected God.

Then he will say to those on his left, “Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”

• Matthew 25:41

For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but condemned them to the chains of Tartarus…

• 2 Peter 2:4

The angels too, who did not keep to their own domain but deserted their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains…

• Jude 1:6
