Hello Water Chief, Consider this..... Jesus was not in Hell for 3 days and nights but was laid in the tomb(heart of the earth)for 3 days and nights. Could it be that Jesus was in the depths of Hell while there was complete darkness for 3 hours? Matthew 27:45-46 "Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me"? In order to die a sinners death, Jesus had all sin cast upon him, this was done while he was on the cross and during those 3 dark hours is when he went down to hell to defeat death. Now this was no doubt a darkness much more than an eclipse could put out, one in which a person couldn't see his hand directly in front of him. Notice too how Jesus said that he thirsted after those 3 hours. One really doesn't thirst unless it's hot out and if there was complete darkness, then it was most likely not hot outside. He thirsted because he was in Hell. He cried out " My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me" because God could not look upon his son while he was made to be sin and in Hell. Love in Christ! Barry |

3 | Jesus went to Hell before Resurrection? | Matt 12:40 | Darktanianxx | 32418 | ||
There were two compartments in hell called Gehhenna[the place of torment, and paradise [Abrahams bosom]. Jesus went to paradise and not the place of torment. He preached the same Gospel message to them as he did to those who were alive. They believed and were taken up to heaven with Jesus. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the lord". | ||||||

Two compartments in hell? one called Gehenna? No. "HADES...divided into two parts one the abode of the blest and the other of the lost." Hades divided into two parts, not HELL divided into two compartments. According to Darktanianxx, "There were two compartments in hell called Gehhenna[the place of torment, and paradise [Abrahams bosom]"? According to Smith's Bible Dictionary, 'HADES...an intermediate state between death and resurrection, divided into two parts one the abode of the blest and the other of the lost' (emphasis added). 'In the New Testament "hell" is the translation of two words, Hades and Gehenna . The word Hades , like Sheol sometimes means merely "the grave," (Acts 2:31; 1 Corinthians 15:55; Revelation 20:13) or in general "the unseen world." It is in this sense that the creeds say of our Lord, "He went down into hell," meaning the state of the dead in general, without any restriction of happiness or misery. Elsewhere in the New Testament Hades is used of a place of torment, (Matthew 11:23; Luke 16:23; 2 Peter 2:4) etc.; consequently it has been the prevalent, almost the universal, notion that HADES is an intermediate state between death and resurrection, divided into two parts one the abode of the blest and the other of the lost. It is used eleven times in the New Testament, and only once translated "grave." (1 Corinthians 15:55) (Emphasis added.) 'The word most frequently used (occurring twelve times) in the New Testament for the place of future punishment is Gehenna or Gehenna of fire . This was originally the valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem, where the filth and dead animals of the city were cast out and burned; a fit symbol of the wicked and their destruction' (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/SmithsBibleDictionary/). |
