Subject: Did Jesus spend 3 days in hell? |
Bible Note: Rextar Hell or Hades changed dramatically after the death and resurrection of Jesus. Before it was the resting place of both he righteous (paradise side or Abraham’s bosom) and the unrighteous ( traditional hell hot dry place). After the Cross and resurrection Hades became the holding place for only the unrighteous. Abraham’s bosom no longer existed, everyone that was held there was lead captive by Christ to Heaven. In Acts 2:31 Luke is still referring to the pre resurrection Hades that contained both righteous and unrighteous. 1 Pet 3:19 tells us again that Jesus went to the pre resurrection Hades where he preached the Good News. Phil 2:10 I believe is a picture of the second coming of Christ where every “creature” will kneel and confess Jesus is LORD. |
