Subject: what happened to Jesus in the grave? |
Bible Note: Actually Sheol is the Hebrew word, Hades is the is the Greek word and Hell is the English. All three are speaking of the same place and as you said to the Jew Sheol,Hades,Hell was the holding place of the dead. In Luke 16:19-31 Jesus gives us a picture of the place. One side now empty was for the righteous dead and the other the hot dry place was the holding place of the unrighteous dead. The side for the righteous was known as Abraham's bosom or Paradise and the other is often refered to as simply hell. The righteous side was emptied by Jesus Eph 4:8 and since then the righteous go directly into His presence 2 Cor 5:8 So today if we say someone is in hell that is assuming that they died without Christ and await the Great White Throne of Judgement. However before the cross that was not the story. |
