PROPHECY BOOTCAMP: "Where the Dead Are Now (Part 4)" from Dr. Tim LaHaye 

More details are given about the place of torment than the other compartments in Hades. The Lord Jesus was clearly interested in warning people about this place in order to keep them from going there. The rich man called Hades a place of torments, indicating that it is a real place and not merely a state of existence, as some people would like to believe. Luke 16:22 tells us that "the rich man also died and was buried"; verse 23 begins, "And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes." There seems to be no intermediate state; evidently a dead unbeliever goes immediately to the place of torment. Verse 23 also suggests that a person is fully conscious of what he missed, for it states that the rich man "lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom." This indicates that one of the horrible tortures of Hades will be the ability of unbelievers to look across the great gulf fixed and view the blessings of believers, who are in comfort. The unbeliever will constantly be reminded of what he has missed due to his rejection of God.
