Subject: what happened to Jesus in the grave? |
Bible Note: According to Jewish understanding on Hades/Hell the holding place of the dead there was two sides. One a hot dry place and the other Abraham's bosom or paradise. We see this further explained in Luke 16:9-31 where Jesus gives us a picture of Hades/Hell. Remember Hades/Hell is not the final punishment place of the wicked dead, the Lake of Fire is. In fact Hades/Hell gets thrown into the Lake of Fire. Jesus went to the Abraham's bosom or paradise side of Hades/Hell where in fact the thief went also and preached the the Good News and lead those held captive by death captive to heaven. Eph 4:8 |
