Bible Note: Yes Brian, excellent verse! Here's a little to support what you have already quoted.. "3:19 preached. Between Christ's death and resurrection, His living spirit went to the demon spirits bound in the abyss and proclaimed that, in spite of His death, He had triumphed over them. spirits in prison. This refers to fallen angels (demons), who were permanently bound because of heinous wickedness. The demons who are not so bound resist such a sentence (cf. Luke 8:31). In the end, they will all be sent to the eternal lake of fire (Matt. 25:41; Rev. 20:10)." (The MacArthur NKJV Study Bible, 1997 Word Publishing) --Nolan |
