Bible Question: Where Did Jesus go after He died but before He rose again? |
Bible Answer: Jesus went and fought a spiritual battle. He went to hell, stripped the devil of all his power/authority and took the keys of hell. Don't forget when Adam and Eve sinned they basically gave the earth and everything on the earth to satan and he became the god of this earth. Before the death of Jesus he had power/authority given to him by Adam and Eve. Jesus went and stripped him of that power/authority. (Colossians 2:13-15. Matthew 12:29 is actually prophetic. Jesus bound satan and then spoilt his goods. See also John 12:30-32, Heb 2:14, 15, 1 John 3:8, Gen 3:15 Matthew 28:18, 19 All authority given to Jesus in heaven AND ON EARTH. So he had to have stripped satan of his authority. These days all the devil can do is give us thoughts and ideas, it is up to us whether we act on those negative/evil thoughts, but he has no other power whatsoever over us. Jesus then also gave us all authority over satan. That is why when Jesus rose from the dead He rose totally triumphant!! See Luke 4:6 |
