Did Peter mention Tartarus? Actually, not really, the Greek word is a verb, literally "tartarised", translated as the whole phrase "cast them down into hell". Since Tartarus appears nowhere else in all of Scripture, why did he use the verb form without explanation, as if he expected his audience to already know what he was talking about? Where did they get the background information, to not be saying " Huh? Peter, whatchoo talkin bout?"
Is it possible you are building a belief and doctrine based on incomplete information? Information available to those first century readers but which for some reason YOU have not been exposed to?

Well a search on epicsearch.com turned up plenty of results for "Tartarus". All of then talking about the Biblical word.
To me no big deal if it is spelled a little bit different. We all know its the same place. I never sought out to argue over "Tartarus". My point in the video is that there will be demonic beings/creatures loosed from the bottomless pit.
They will TORMENT men for 5 months with stings that will make men wish they were dead. Sounds serious to me.
Dom brought up "Tartarus". I said ok maybe thats the bottomless pit. To me wrangling over where this pit is or if it even exists is not as important as what comes out of it at the 5th trumpet.
Namely terrifying judgement. I'm pointing men to cleave to Jesus. Get strong in Christ. Dont be fooled into thinking its an alien invasion.
He who endures to the end shall be saved.

Because it seemed like a given that believers would believe the bottomless pit existed.
