Bible Question: Is Moses in Heaven or Hell |
Bible Answer: I would say at this point Moses is wherever Jesus is and I think we can safely say that is heaven. He was obvioulsy concious and in communication with Jesus even before the Resurrection based on the passages of the Transfiguration, where he was speaking with Jesus along with Elijah, "about the exodus He was going to accomplish in Jerusalem".(Luke 9:28-36) So obviously Moses and Elijah, although not yet resuurected in the body, at that time were concious, even if they were then residing in what is variously called Hades, Sheol and Abraham's Bosom. This is further supported by the parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31. The rich man and Lazarus were both in Hades or Sheol, but Lazarus was on the happy side(the Bosom of Abraham) while the rich man was on the other unhappy hot side. They were separated by a great chasm, but both were concious along with Abraham who spoke to the rich man. Emmaus |
