Psalm 68:18 is quoted by Paul in Ephesians 4:8, and explained by him in verses 9-13. Most if not all interpreters will agree that the ascension to on high refers to Jesus' ascension back to heaven. But the dispute arrises based on the interpretation of his descension. Some interpreters assert that this refers to Jesus descending into hell (Hades) after His death on the cross. At this time, they say that He took the Old Testament believers out of the "saved" part of Hades, and led them to heaven. These are the captives that are spoken of. The problem with this interpretation is that the quotation in the Psalms sounds more like a victorious conqueror riding into the city of the defeated king. In the time of David, the conqueror would lead the captured soldiers back into the city where the inhabitants would be forced to watch their army being humiliated. The Old Testament saints are not a defeated army. They are the victorious soldiers going with their king. The captives may be unsaved people and/or Satanic forces. The basis of suggesting that Jesus wet to Hades after His death is usually made to account for this verse. If we remove the problem of having to depolulate "saved" Hades, then there is no reason for Jesus to have gone to Hades. What of the phrase "He also descended into the lower parts of the earth"? Those who take the second view will say that this refers to the incarnation, when Jesus descended from heaven to be born as a little baby of a virgin. In short, No, I don't believe Jesus ever went to hell, despite the Apostles' Creed. God Bless. In Christ, Koinekid Upholding Scriptural Integrity, Accuracy, and Immutability. |

Hades, on either side, is not to be depopulated until Christ returns. The dead reside in Hades until that time. Hades and Hell are not the same thing. | ||||||
