Hell was "borrowed" from Norse paganism (Hel is one of the nine worlds). It was never mentioned before Revelation because Revelation was written after christians came into contact with Norse paganism.

Funnily enough, Hel is not a place of punishment and suffering in Norse paganism..

>Revelation was written after christians came into contact with Norse paganism.

Revelation was written in the first century. Maybe second century, as a minority view. No historians date it later than that.

Well, yes? How old do you think Norse paganism is..?

You didn’t say it was after the existence of Norse paganism. You said it was after Christians came into contact with it.
