Bible Question: I thought I read that when Christ was crucified, he then went to the dead and spoke to them about salvation, those that had died earlier. I cannot find it now. I read some of the threads but they didn't really touch on what I am looking for. Anyone know where or if this is in the Bible. thanks dyoung75 |
Bible Answer: Hi dyoung, Thought I better go through that a little more carefully, as these verses can be a little confusing. lets look at what Peter is really saying. "He went and made proclamation to the spirits (now) in prison" ok, when are they in prison? (Now) and now is the time that Peter is writing this epistle. ok, "who once were disobedient" ok when were they disobedient? " when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark," "in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water." I hope this helps. God bless John |
