My last request:
1. Go through my body to salvage any useful organs that might be donated to someone who needs a transplant.
2. Cremate me.
3. Dump my ashes in the Valley of Gehenna, just outside of Jerusalem.
This was an ancient garbage dump where refuse was burned. Previously, it had been the site of a temple to a cruel rival god with Yahweh named "Moloch". The ancient Israelites would dump the bodies of executed prisoners in this valley instead of giving them a proper burial as a final insult. Legends of this valley grew over time and it was considered the gateway to Hell by early Christians. Jesus himself used Gehenna in his teachings on Hell.
So Gehenna was a burning pit that was home to a rival cruel god where sinners were dumped when they died. Sound familiar?
4. Tell everyone accurately that I died and went to Hell.
