I appreciate your interpretation, but I think you should reconsider it, look at it from a different perspective.
According to you:
Verse 23 said; And "IN HELL", he(the rich man) "lifted up" his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
My emphasizes is on the word "lifted up" you would only need to lift up your eyes to look up, you don't lift up your eyes to look across.
Also:
In verse 24 the rich man was pleading Abraham for mercy to send Lazarus "" to dip a finger of water to his tongue" due to high torment of flame in hell fire.
My emphasize is on the phrase "to dip a finger of water to his tongue" it can only take someone that's above you to deep his finger in water to quench your taste below.
However, your message has been passed.. Whether hell is up or down isn't really relevant all that is of utmost importance is how we can avoid going there.
Nice piece bro.
