Why Jesus Christ Spoke More About Hell More Than Heaven?

Is it because of its reality that Jesus Christ spoke more about Hell than Heaven?

I’ve attached the references to “heaven, heavens” and “hell” from the Bible for your investigation;

Heavens
God’s Dwelling Place (De 26:15 1Ki 8:30,39,43,49 1Ch 16:31 21:26 2Ch 2:6 6:18,21,27,30,33,35,39 30:27 Ne 9:27 Job 22:12,14 Ps 2:4 11:4 20:6 33:13 102:19 103:19 113:5 123:1 135:6 Ec 5:2 Isa 57:15 63:15 66:1 Jer 23:24 La 3:41,50 Da 4:35 5:23 Zec 2:13 Mt 5:34,45 6:9 10:32,33 11:25 12:50 16:17 18:10,14 Mr 11:25,26 16:19 Ac 7:49 Ro 1:18 Heb 8:1 Re 8:1 12:7-9 21:22-27 22:1-5)

 Hell
(In the A. V. this word occurs in O. T. Scriptures, cited below, and is the translation of the Hebrew word “sheol,” which signifies the unseen state)

In the R. V. of O. T. it appears only in (Isa 5:14 14:9,15 28:15,18 57:9 Eze 31:16,17 32:21,27 Am 9:2 Jon 2:2 Hab 2:5)

In the R. V., “sheol” is translated “lowest pit” (De 32:22 Ps 86:13)

And it is translated “pit” in (Ps 55:15)

In the R. V. the word “Sheol” itself occurs in the following scriptures (2Sa 22:6 Job 11:8 26:6 Ps 9:17 16:10 18:5 116:3 139:8 Pr 5:5 7:27 9:18 15:11,24 23:14 27:20)

“Sheol” is translated “grave” in A. V. in (Ge 37:35 42:38 44:29,31 1Sa 2:6 1Ki 2:6 9:1 ... Job 7:9 14:13 17:13 21:13 24:19 Ps 6:5 30:3 31:17 49:14,15 88:3 89:48 141:7 Pr 1:12 30:16 Ec 9:10 So 8:6 Ho 13:14)

In the R. V. the Greek word “gehenna” is translated “hell” in the following scriptures (Mt 5:22,29,30 10:28 18:9 23:15,33 Mr 9:43,45,47 Lu 12:5 Jas 3:6)

The R. V. has introduced “Hades,” the word found in the Greek text, which signifies the unseen world, in the following scriptures (Mt 11:23 16:18 Lu 10:15 16:23 Ac 2:27,31 Re 1:18 6:8 20:13,14)
