The idea that Earth is the hell of another world is not my own. Usually, to support this thesis, people simply suggest looking around. All of human history is an endless meat grinder: war after war, epidemic after epidemic, famine, slavery, torture, disease, genocide. And this is the world that a good Lord created? This point confuses many, and I think priests are no exception. Why is the world arranged this way and not otherwise, that is, not better? The common answers to this question sound unconvincing. They talk about free will, that the existing evil is the fault of humanity, or that God punishes sinners, or that evil is created by Satan, but there is a sense of uncertainty in all of this, a feeling of inherent wrongness. If the devil torments people, then why doesn’t the omnipotent God stop him? If God punishes sinners in this way, then what has an infant done to deserve it, who, due to their age, hasn’t had the chance to commit any crimes and is hit by a car? Do people create evil themselves? Perhaps. But truly evil people are very few; why do they define the nature of the entire world, and this has been the case throughout the existence of this world? And again, how did the Lord allow this? Overall, it all seems rather unconvincing. But if we assume that we all died a long time ago and now find ourselves in hell, then everything falls into place.
...the condemnation of suicide becomes understandable. It is an attempt to ESCAPE from prison without serving the sentence.
...the most terrible torment for a person is not knowing what awaits them after death: whether there will be life or if there is nothing ahead. This is truly a HELLISH punishment.
The question arises: what did the real world look like before we died and ended up in hell? If there were sinners in that real world and they ended up in hell, that is, on Earth, then there was evil there too. I believe the real world is a place where every person can communicate with God. And knowing for sure that God exists, some still manage to do evil. One must be a truly hardened sinner for that. And for this, there is punishment: the destruction of memory and being sent to hell, that is, to Earth.
It is very possible that beyond hell, there is another hell. Depending on behavior, a criminal may be granted amnesty or have their punishment intensified. The commandments are a guide to the path of liberation.
We know that the devil is the prince of this world, meaning he is the ruler of Earth. But it is also known that he is the lord of HELL. Again, this indirectly suggests the need to equate hell and Earth. Then everything aligns: the devil rules the Earth, the devil rules hell, which means that Earth and hell have a common ruler; at the very least, Earth and hell are in UNION, or perhaps they are even the same place.
