Bible Question: What answer did you get about Samuel being raised from the Dead? |
Bible Answer: The realm of all the dead is called SHEOL in the Old Testament. It is called HADES in the New Testament. The government of the whole earth including the realm of the dead was in complete control of Satan and his angels (demons). The Lord Jesus Christ, at the time of His death on the cross, entered the realm of the dead. He tasted death for every man. (Heb.2: 9,14,15) But it was not possible that He should be held by death. (Acts 2:24) After the death of our Lord, the power of Satan over the realm of the dead ended. And Satan's power over the whole earth will also come to an end very soon. (Rev.11: 15) So during the days of the Old Testament, Satan and the demons could bring back the soul of Samuel. |
