Bible Question: Looking for book,chapter, and verse in Bible re: Jesus going to Hell and taking keys away from Satan, before ascending into Heaven after crucifixion. |
Bible Answer: Hello droach, There is nothing in scripture that states anything about Jesus going to Hell and taking keys away from Satan! In 1 Pet. 3:19 we're told that "...in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison," but the meaning here is uncertain at best. It says nothing about Hell and is (arguably) one of the most difficult NT passages! However, in Rev. 1:18 we do have, "...and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades." (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
