1 | Jesus decended into hell? | Eph 4:9 | drbloor | 169216 | ||
"The lower parts of the earth" Unless 'Hell' is underground (which it isn't), then this is just talking about the grave (which is). Try comparing Acts 2:27 in the NIV and KJV to see what I mean. |

Hi Leia, The Bible teaches hell to be in the "heart of the earth". Compare Matt 12:40 for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 1 Peter 3 18 For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; 19 in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, 20 who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. Ephesians 4 8 Therefore it says, "WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN." 9 [But He ascended?] Now what can this, He ascended, mean but that He had previously descended from [the heights of] heaven into [the depths], the lower parts of the earth? Num 16 30 "But if the LORD brings about an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that is theirs, and they descend alive into Sheol, then you will understand that these men have spurned the LORD." 31 As he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open; 32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who belonged to Korah with their possessions. 33 So they and all that belonged to them went down alive to Sheol; and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly. (This reference from Numbers is not just refering to being buried alive, unless you are of the opinion that such a thing had never happened to anyone before. "...an entirely new thing...") So there is no difficulty with Psalm 139. It is saying, it poetic form, The LORD is everywhere I could go, from the top of heaven to the bottom of hell, from the rising sun in the east to the ends of the sea in the west. No matter how far I could travel, the LORD leads me, and is with me. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
