Jesus Absolutely Went To Hell!!
Jesus Absolutely Went To Hell!! But....
1 Corinthians 15:55
O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?
It's still the World's greatest "And What" situation. To defeat Satan, Death, and Hell, Jesus had to do it their way, using their rules, and on their "turf" and still win with all righteousness! That's what makes it sooo SWEEEEEET! And win He did!
Ok a little Sunday School. Jesus did go to Hell in the interim between death and returning and showing himself to the disciples and then He ascended.
He did it because of the reasons described above but also so that those that qualified and died before Jesus was born and died, including Abraham, David, Elisha and others would be saved by the preaching of the gospel even as we that are alive have been and can be.
Jesus first descended that He might preach the gospel and deliver those that were in Paradise. Paradise was the "nice" part of the bosom of Abraham. But it included also a "bad" part or place of torment. See the story of Lazuras and the Rich Man when they both died.
This is why Jesus told the thief next to him on the cross that on this day you will be WITH ME in Paradise. Only then, could the thief that repented hear and receive the gospel. But those who didn't have faith for faith by first believing Moses and the prophets had no hope at all.
Now this Paradise was nice and is probably where Catholism gets "Purgatory" from. But it is important to know that the Bosom of Abraham and holding place is no more. Jesus is now our Strong Tower only and Temple of God. We are His Body. It is also important to know that as good as Paradise was for those that waited in death (this is also probably where some get the "sleep" doctrine from), it was still a type of hell. Hell in its first respect is any and all seperation from God. Some are in a living hell right now. But there is hope! Deliverance is come! Jesus is alive!
There are only three, at least biblically recorded persons that never tasted death and bypassed even Paradise; Enoch, Moses and Elijah. But all other "good" and faithful needed Jesus to preach to them to be delivered. Two of these that bypassed; Moses and Elijah show up in the Transfiguration of Jesus, Moses and Elijah, because they received completely being apart of Jesus; One with Him! (As I am and every believer is! Oh I can shout right now!)
Two of these return in the last days to convince the world of sin and will be slain with their dead bodies displayed as the whole world rejoices over their death because they don't want to do right. There's speculation as to which two and what form will they take. Will it be actually them or the spirit of them in new bodies? Jesus spoke of John the baptist as Elias or Elijah. So, I believe the latter thought.
So, there is great faith where you can bypass even the death of the Cross. But for those that at least kept the faith that God will deliver, believing Moses and the prophets and sincerely following the law with their heart without excuse, but couldn't see how God would do it, God made a holding place for those that had the God kind of faith like the Father of Faith and Father of all Nations, Abraham. Glory! How great Thou Art.
Search the scriptures. I will put some below. Noble
people study!
Ephesians 4:9
(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
I Pet 3:18 For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison;
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
Math 22:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints (those in Paradise) which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many.
(How awesome! After thousands of years the people of that time saw Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and David walking around!!)
(We also see Jesus's work of salvation came in two parts for those that were dead and slept. See I Cor 15. They were preached to which revived them, then Jesus ascended to the mercy seat with blood, and they ascended with Him. See or study about the "clouds" that took Jesus up and the "cloud" of witnesses in Hebrews. Remember Jesus had to be first partaker once He came down to save. That's why they had to walk on Earth for a few days. But now to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Though we are always ever present now.)
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Acts 2:31
He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was NOT LEFT in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
(So we see clearly that He went to Hell.)
A study on Clouds is really enlightening. The tens of thousands of saints.
Acts 1:9
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Hebrews 12:1
Why seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Mark 14:62
And Jesus said, I am: and you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Jude 12
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit wither, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
(The Two Witness: Moses, Elijah and/or Enoch)
Revelation of John 11:3
And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and three score days, clothed in sackcloth.
(Oh. I can go on and on. But study to manifest to all you have been approved and that you may never be ashamed of who you are, what you know, and what you have as a workman before any man!)
Peace In! I know that I know the way!

Side Note: Did you know Death and Hell and the Grave aren't just places and things but literally demonic spirits and former angels? Their function to hold and torment are nothing more than God given abilities that had a godly purpose originally but they then used it for evil. They were apart of that third part of heaven Satan; that Old Serpent took with him and they will all be bound and sent to the lake of fire which was reserved for them only, but will include all that they have trapped.
Wow! Deliverance is Come. Receive it! Jesus is Alive.
1 Corinthians 15:55
O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?
Revelation of John 12:4
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Jude 6
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness to the judgment of the great day.
2 Peter 2:4
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved to judgment;
Revelation of John 1:18
I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for ever more, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Revelation of John 6:8
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Revelation of John 20:13
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
