Ezekiel 31 When I Cast Him Down to Hell
We all die and go into the grave by the undertaker. However God CASTS His enemies into hell. The marks in Ezekiel 30 according to Christ is the sound of wind, string and percussion instruments.
We may not know the exact organization of HELL or the territory of Hades a "god."
We may not agree on the meaning of "for ever and ever"
However, we MUST agree that HELL is always associated with the World race or Kosmos for which Jesus refused to pray. They use the hypocritic arts of rhetoric, singing, playing instruments, acting, dancing or any kind of body worship.
Their driven purpose such as the Levite who were sorcerers "to make the lambs dumb before the slaughter."
In Isaiah 30 God speaks specificially of the Assyrians as the enemy but groups them with Egypt, Jerusalem or Sodom.
Ezekiel 31 also uses the Assyrians as a "tree" of the Eden story to warn the Egyptians whose heart was lifted up.

Traditions about a race of giants in days of old were universal; they exist in oral and written lore. Chaldea had her Idzubar (Nimrod), a hero, shown in all the tablets as a mighty giant who towered in size above all other men as the cedar towers over brushwood -- a hunter, according to cuneiform legends, who contended with and destroyed the lion, tiger, wild bull, and buffalo, the most formidable animals. The Babylonian Venus was called Ishtar, "the eldest of heaven and earth" and daughter of Anu, god of heaven. The legend is that Ishtar, the beautiful goddess, descended into Hades after her beloved Tammuz, and found that this dark place of the shades had seven spheres and seven gates, at each of which she had to leave something belonging to her. Any Occultist who reads of her love for Tammuz, his assassination by Idzubar, the despair of the goddess and her descent and final liberation from the dark realm, will recognize the beautiful allegory of the soul in search of the Spirit.
Many Bible and contemporaneous accounts center in the Lebanon mountains as well as Mount Hermon where the "fallen angels" descended according to The Book of Enoch.
The high places of Mount Hermon were apparently used by the Canaanites for their pagan religious rituals. They referred to the mountain as Mount Baal-hermon (Judg 3:3). Jesus and his disciples journeyed north from Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee to the city of Caesarea Philippi at the southern base of Mount Hermon (Matt 16:13; Mark 8:27). There, Jesus revealed to them his purpose to build his Church and to go to Jerusalem to die and be resurrected (Matt 16:18-21).
Mount Hermon already had some grand HOUSES for pagan worship but Jesus rejected them all.

Ezekiel 31:4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.

and his boughs were multiplied,
and his branches became long

neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water:

in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.Ezek 31:15 Thus saith the Lord God;
In the day when he went down to the grave
I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him,

and all the trees of the field fainted for him.Ezek 31:16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall,
when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit:
and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon,
all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
