Bible Question:
If people have died and gone to Heaven ,how come Jesus said,Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. ,And How come Jesus said "Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:, and also what about Luke 16:19 where one is in Paradise and the other is in torment,also since Revalation is mostly cymbalic Revelation 1:1 how can the word SHALL be use to mean NOW ? |
Bible Answer: Before the death of Jesus when a person died they went to Hades. The righteous to the side known as Abraham's bosom or Paradise Luke 16:19-31 passage and the unrighteous to the hot dry side. Upon His death Jesus descended in Hades/Hell to the Abraham's Bosom side and preached the Good News. Jesus then lead captive those held in captivity by death to heaven Eph 4:8. So in effect Abraham's bosom side was emptied and remains empty since those in Christ that die after the death and resurrection of the our Lord now go directly into the presence of our Lord 2 Cor. 5:8 |
