2 | Where have all the dead prophets gone? | Luke 16:19 | Morant61 | 11215 | ||
Greetings John! The short answer is that at the time Jesus spoke the words recorded in John 3:13, no one had been in heaven except the Son. Those who died before the resurrection of Christ were placed in Sheol/Hades. The wicked were kept in a place of torment, to be reserved until they are judged and cast into the Lake of Fire (which is what we really mean when we say Hell.) The righteous were placed in Abraham's bosom, until the resurrection of Christ, at which point they went to heaven. Now, all believers who die go immediately to be with Christ. If you do a word search, you find several threads that deal with what happens when a believer dies. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
