Bible Question: What does Abraham's bosom mean? |
Bible Answer: sisgat, "633 Scripture calls the abode of the dead, to which the dead Christ went down, "hell" - Sheol in Hebrew or Hades in Greek - because those who are there are deprived of the vision of God.(Cf. Phil 2:10; Acts 2:24; Rev 1:18; Eph 4:9; Pss 6:5,6; 88:11-13) Such is the case for all the dead, whether evil or righteous, while they await the Redeemer: which does not mean that their lot is identical, as Jesus shows through the parable of the poor man Lazarus who was received into "Abraham's bosom":(Cf. Ps 89:49; 1 Sam 28:19; Ezek 32:17-32; Lk 16:22-26) "It is precisely these holy souls, who awaited their Savior in Abraham's bosom, whom Christ the Lord delivered when he descended into hell." Jesus did not descend into hell to deliver the damned, nor to destroy the hell of damnation, but to free the just who had gone before him." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a5p1.htm#633 Emmaus |
