On the third day he rose again. Some denominations eliminate it. It is largely based on the Scripture though. Except for the statement about Jesus descending into hell. Nowhere in the Scripture is something like this found. The closest would seem to be 1 Peter , discussed above. Some have also seen Ephesians as referring to this, although I think it more likely refers to his incarnation. What is clear from Scripture, though, is that Jesus was not a prisoner in hell for those three days.
It was at the cross that Satan and those aligned with him were defeated. If Jesus did descend into hell, it was as a victorious conqueror rather than a chained prisoner.
In the end, I do not believe we can know for sure just what Jesus did during those three days, other than being in Paradise. There, we can see him greeting those who had entered before him as well as the repentant thief who entered with him. He has been a Bible teacher for over 40 years and regularly blogs at A Clay Jar.

I gave a Bible study yester to a group of women on friendship. Your atricle on friendship helped me so much. Did I miss your article on Can Christians be cremated? Thank you so kindly Jane for your words of encouragement. It is awesome that you lead a Bible study. So good to hear.
I did do an article on whether Christians can be cremated. It is at this link:. Thank you for telling it the old fashioned way. Only repentance and acceptance of the shed blood of Jesus washing away our sins and accepting His lordship will save us. Thanks for your explanation about the where about of Jesus during the three days of His death.
The truth is what you mension that He went to Hell to proclaim His victory over the Demons, Not that He was there to suffer like the fallen Demons. I love that , God bless you and God will continue to release more facts to you as you keep on making research.
Thank you so much Pastor Bright. That means so much coming from another pastor. When I behold all that our Savior did for us, made a spectacle for us, who are all most unworthy, I can not even describe the breadth, depth, and width of such love. Indeed, no human words can express the unfathomable love that He has for us. May God richly bless you, your family, and your ministry Pastor. Hi there, just became alert to your blog through Google, and found that it is truly informative.
Many people will be benefited from your writing. This theory about Jesus going to hell to preach during the three days he was dead before he was resurrected is flawed. The fact is that Jesus gave up his spirit to the Father just before his death!
And he rose again on the third day,and after spending time with his disciples for forty days,he went to heaven. What we are missing out,is that no man can go to heaven until he is resurrected on the last day.
The spirits of all men return to God till the resurrection or the day of judgement! The early church never taught about going to heaven at death. That came later from the apostate church.
Paul makes it very clear that all the dead in Christ are asleep till Christ returns to take his saints home on the last day. Now I have a question can we pray asking to Jesus going to hades share a gospel to our relative non believer there I know its very difficulties to do. But above your article got a a quote from bible about Jesus going to hades for preaching. Is it Judas Iscariot has been save? Because Judas Iscariot hang himself early than Jesus died on the cross.
Hello again Francis…I am trying to answer all of your questions and its hard to keep up as you ask several every day and I also have made about 6, comments and answered about 4, different people too. He may have went there to tell them that He lived a sinless life, died for them, and was raised again so that they could be in Paradise. No, Judas Iscariot was not saved. He was never a believer but only wanted the money from their missions. Corrected and I am indebted to you Suzie.
Thank you. Not so much. Sauers…that is one of the nicest things I have ever had said to me…but surely, God is worthy of all honor, glory, and praise for without Him and the Holy Spirit I would know nothing!
Even so, thank you so much sir. I love this!! This was great because you backed things up with the bible and it was straight foward and to the point. Great Job! Thank You for clearing this up for me because i was also wondering this same thing. God Bless You Mr. Jack Wellman!
Thank you so much Mrs. Matta for your encouraging comment. Truly we serve an awesome God and to Him be all the glory for I know nothing that I have not received. Wellman, would not the men in the days of Noah be spirits after death? I thougth Jesus did both preached and set the spirits of man free and also proclaim victory over the demons… Death Iit was always my thinking that His action of setting the spirits of men free was the proclamation over death. But I am of simply a mine.
This is a very good question. Yes, the spirit is currently being held for the second death if they have not had faith in God and today it is faith in Christ after repentance.
Those who trusted in God like Noah and his family will not face the second death Rev Luke gives an example of Lazarus and the rich man. The first proof I will offer of this, is, that it has been the constant and unvarying faith of the saints from the earliest periods of time. Is it in the Bible why he did that? Thank you Connie. That will be something we will find out someday but the conclusion is that He is still preaching the gospel using men and women by His Word the Bible and in conjunction with the Holy Spirit is still saving souls.
I only attempted to shed some light on a possibility but not with certainty. I am glad you are hungering to know more. I have far to go myself. Thank you again. This is very informative. The information given here is a real blessing to me. God bless you abundantly. Thank you Daniel for your very kind words my friend. It is astounding that He loved us that much to endure a living hell on the cross at Calvary.
Your encouragement has been a blessing to me sir. This question is to undo the work on the cross which is faith, u cause ur brother to sin with this question. Jesus took the keys of hell and freed the captives. He who has the key can lock the door. The door that no man can open and no man can close hell is out of business, the fallen come out of the pit and come DOWN to earth. The bottomless pit is in space not earth. The past present and future are written already. She is the whore of Babylon sin.
Adam really means shame, eve is the mother of all living she is life. The lie is free will. He has given us free will to choose to either love Him or to not. I wonder what your doctrine is based on…. Pastor Jack, I, gratefully happened upon your site and am so very glad that I did.
God bless you and yours, and may His Favor and Anointing guide you and direct you. Wow Shepp e…you are so encouraging my friend. I so thank you and I have fewer comments that made me beam like yours did and as you know, truly all glory goes to God Himself. Joyce Meyers is not that far off from her teachings of Jesus descending to hell.
A few articles point to this as being very true. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit, in which also he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits—to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah when the ark was being built.
He knew that one day his Redeemer Jesus, the Son of God would come to earth. Job also knew that he would die and his flesh would rot away, yet he would see God in a resurrected body.
Luke records a story Jesus told about a rich man and a beggar named Lazarus, which sheds light on this subject. The rich man went to fiery torment in Hades. It would appear that the realm of the dead was divided.
One side was a place of comfort, the other a place of torment. The souls of those on either side could see each other and talk, but there was a great gulf between the two sides and no one could cross from one side to the other.
This section will discuss where Jesus went while His body was in the tomb based on New Testament teaching. Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? This passage indicates that before His resurrection and ascension, Jesus first descended into the lower parts of the earth.
When Jesus rose from the dead, He took the souls of the godly with Him.
