Jan, You are so correct about the 12 portals that are listed. The four directions with 3 portals in each. I found it very interesting that one of the four holds the unrighteous. Thank you so much for listing all of the places where Whirlwind is noted in scripture. How often we may have read those very verses and not taken to heart what was really being said.Now, an additional thing that I hadn't realized and asked if anyone noticed it, I have to admit, that I never realized that the voice of Abel makes suite against his brother and continue to cry to God for revenge for the spilling of his blood by his brother Cain so that the seed of Cain will be annihilated from the face of the earth. This is found when you begin to listen at the 31 minute mark. The description of the place is told to be many hollow places that have been created that the spirits of the dead may assemble there-in. One of those hollow places are for the spirits of the unrighteous until that day of judgement.I am sure that this is where the teaching of Purgatory comes from but contrary to the teaching that prayers and masses for them will release them from that place; it is just not so. They will remain there until God places His judgement upon them. Prayers will not release them.The Hollow places where the Righteous Spirits are found have springs of water for them. See the difference? It brings reality to the teaching of Jesus Christ descending to Hell (the Righteous area, called Abraham's Bosom) where He came to set those captive free. It is not the seed of the unrighteous that are set free.Back to the subject of the Seed of Cain being annihilated from the face of the earth. It wasn't the act of murder that would cause God to place such a decree on that seed, is it? It is because the daughters of Cain cohabitated with the Sons of God (Fallen Angels) and bore off-spring that genetically could not be redeemed.Thank You for your reply. It added to the learning of God's wonderful Word.gerlindaBook of Enoch
