1 | Jesus went to God immediately? | John 20:17 | EdB | 241506 | ||
I think the problem here is timing and trying to constrain the Godhead to man's linear time. Hebrews tells us Jesus presented His blood on the altar of Heaven. Eph tells us Jesus lead the captives of death to heaven. Elsewhere we are told Jesus preached the Good News in Hades/hell. Scripture tells us where 2 or more meet in His name He will be there also. Jesus is obviously not constrained by human physical limitations. So yes Jesus could have gone directly into God's presence, into the altar to place His blood upon it, to Hades/Hell to preach and lead the rigtheous dead held captive by death to heaven and did it all in a time frame we as humans can not imagine. All we need to know is upon Jesus' death and resurrection many things transpired and were accomplish on our behalf. |

This response goes to great lengths to omit the original passage of Scripture that says implicitly that Noah was the preacher of righteousness and that he preached while he was building the ark. Nowhere does it say in Scripture Jesus went anywhere except his body into the tomb and His soul-spirit to be with the Father, thereby "paving" the way as Firstfruits the same thing to happen to believers when they die, that is, body in the tomb/grave and the soul-spirit to be with God: "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." This wasn't the case while the curtain was still up and in place in the Holy of Holies in the Temple according to the instruction and command of the Lord for the Tabernacle. Jesus is FIRSTfruits. 1 Peter 3:18-20 (KJV) 18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1 Peter 3:20 (GW) 20 They are like those who disobeyed long ago in the days of Noah when God waited patiently while Noah built the ship. In this ship a few people—eight in all—were saved by water. 1 Peter 3:20 (YLT) 20 who sometime disbelieved, when once the long-suffering of God did wait, in days of Noah--an ark being preparing--in which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water; 1 Peter 3:20 (BBE) 20 Who, in the days of Noah, went against God's orders; but God in his mercy kept back the punishment, while Noah got ready the ark, in which a small number, that is to say eight persons, got salvation through water: |

When did these acts take place Hebrews 9:12 (NASB) 12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. Ephesians 4:8 (NASB) 8 Therefore it says, "WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN." 1 Peter 3:19 (NASB) 19 in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, 1 Peter 4:6 (NASB) 6 For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God. |
