Hi
StG,
Sorry for the delay on your questions.... That is a misunderstanding for neither Watchman Nee or Witness Lee taught that the outer darkness = Hades.
"The outer darkness outside of the Lord’s glory is neither the lake of fire nor the section of torment in Hades where all the perished sinners are (Luke 16:26, 23a, 28). It is a place of dispensational punishment for the defeated believers." Basic Lessons on Service, Witness Lee
As to Govett you will have to provide a reference with a quote or a scripture and then I can explore my library and its resources. I believe I have all of Govett's works but do not recall him making that remark.
