Did Jesus Go To Hell For 3 Days?

"Did Jesus Really Go to Hell for Three Days and Three Nights? In today's video, we're tackling a topic that has sparked much debate among Christians: Did Jesus Christ really descend into Hell for three days and three nights after His crucifixion? This doctrine, while controversial, is deeply rooted in Scripture and holds significant implications for our understanding of Christ's redemptive work.
Understanding the Scriptural Basis
Many evangelical Christians firmly believe that after Jesus' crucifixion, He descended into the depths of Hell, or Hades, as a crucial part of His mission to conquer sin, death, and the grave. This belief is primarily based on key passages in the Bible, such as Acts 2:27 which states "FOR YOU WILL NOT LEAVE MY SOUL IN HADES", Ephesians 4:9, which states, "Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?" Additionally, 1 Peter 3:18-20 speaks of Christ preaching to the spirits in prison, further supporting the idea that Jesus went to Hell to proclaim His victory.
The Significance of Jesus' Descent into Hell
But why is this doctrine so important? Evangelicals argue that Jesus' descent into Hell was not only a fulfillment of prophecy but also a demonstration of His absolute authority over all realms-heaven, earth, and even Hell itself. By entering Hell, Jesus showed that there is no place where His love and sacrifice cannot reach. This act was the ultimate proof of His victory over Satan, sin, and death.
Addressing Common Misconceptions
In this video, we'll also address some common misconceptions about this doctrine. Many people wonder, "Did Jesus suffer in Hell?" According to evangelical theology, Jesus did not suffer in Hell as the damned do. Instead, He went there as the victorious Savior, having already borne the full weight of sin on the cross. His presence in Hell was not a continuation of His suffering but a proclamation of His triumph.

[@patrickbrowne4606]

PRAISE YOU, LORD JESUS, for your victory over death and the grave! AND THANK YOU for shedding your precious Blood and giving me, a wretched sinner, eternal life!

Your sins are forgiven solely by the Fathers grace and mercy if you REPENT for the FORGIVENESS OF SINS as John taught. (Prodigal Son Parable). No one had to die to offer you something thats been available for 6k years. The passover had absolutely nothing to do with a sin offering. And no one died to pay your debt due on judgement day. Hebrews 5:7, Psalm 18, 41, 91, Isaiah 53. You must crucify your own flesh on your own cross. No one did it for you. I'm sorry to break it to you. The spiritual allegory of the gospels was later literalized by the blind guides of the Roman church in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th century; Leading the masses into a Strong delusion and idolatry of worshipping a man as God Almighty. A man who sat in the temple of God claiming to be the great I AM, an abomination. You know the the very thing we were warned about in 2 Thess. 2:4 which was written long before the gospel of John 8. Its unfortunate that people don't read and study the Bible for themselves as required by YHWH to show themselves approved. If so, people would have figured out 490 years ago that the virgin daughter of Zion that travails in childbirth with her firstborn was not a woman named Mary and her firstborn was not a man named Jesus. All clearly defined in the OT. I pray you seek the hidden treasure in the bible before its too late. "My people perish for lack of knowledge" "I even I am YHWH beside ME there is NO SAVIOR" Isaiah 43:11, there is NO OTHER but YHWH the Father Isaiah 45:5-7. "Put not your trust in Princes nor a SON OF MAN in whom there is NO SALVATION" Psalm 146:3. The blinded eyes of the Gentiles will be opened in the very end, in the day of affliction. Jer 16:19-21 (kjv or hebrew). And they will all know my name is YHWH. "Worship the Father with ALL your heart soul mind and strength and HIM ONLY shall you serve" Matthew 4:10. 😊💜

[@jdaze1]

You are granted eternal life if you repent for the FORGIVENESS OF SINS and are born a New Adam by the regenerating power of the Spirit of Truth made flesh in YOU. No one can die to pay YOUR sin debt. If so that person would still be dead. That's the price due on judgement day. Flesh and blood profit nothing as clearly noted in scripture. The Passover has absolutely nothing to do with sin atonement. Only repentance with a contrite heart does. As the story of King Davids repentance from his adultery as well as the Prodigal Son parable. Return to the Father and he alone is faithful to forgive you. 1st commandment.

It all depends on where the comma should be. If it belongs after today it will have a whole different meaning. Look also at the parable not literally: 27 "Then he said, '1 beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment. 29 Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.' So isn't Moses and the prophets not supposed to be with Abraham and when Jesus was on earth Moses and the prophets were already dead.

[@warrenquinnpodcasts2292]

In Paradise: "Paradise (paradeisos), a Persian word meaning 'garden, park,' was used in the Septuagint for the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:8). It then became a type of the future bliss for God's people in Isaiah 51:3…In the present passage it represents the state of bliss which Jesus promised to the criminal directly after death." (Pate)

[@TheCrucifixFishTestifies]

That verse is vastly misunderstood because most translations misplace the comma. The comma should come after "today,". This is easily proven. How could Jesus be with the thief that same day of the crucifixion when Jesus was dead for three days? Did Jesus really experience death or not? He then spent another 40 days on earth after he was resurrected before ascending into the third heaven (Acts 1:3). So the thief next to Jesus is still in the grave awaiting the first resurrection (1 Cor 15). "Abraham's bosom" was an erroneous belief held by the Pharisees. Jesus mentions Abraham's bosom in the parable of the resurrections in Luke 16, not because it is a literal place, but to teach about the resurrections. Jesus always spoke in parables (Math 13:34)

[@555T22]

Lord Jesus' presence in hell was a continuation of His suffering for the redemption of the true believers from hell. He suffered for the sins of billion, billion, billion of people of OT and NT era, that means trillions of sins, which obviously required great, great amount of torment and suffering which could not be accomplished on the cross alone. There had to be much more which was fulfilled in hell. Also, the presence in hell automatically means torment and suffering because the hell is the place of torment and suffering. Logical? It is logical to anybody who has ability of logical thinking.

Two things to keep in mind when interpreting this passage is that Messiah's body was physically in a tomb, not a grave. Bodies weren't buried until after a year, in ancient Israel. The other thing is that during the rebellion against Moses, he said that if the rebels die a natural death, then YHWH has not spoken to him: So, they were swallowed up *alive* into Hell. If they were simply swallowed up alive into the earth, that already happens naturally.

As for the thief on the cross that Christ told “today you will be with me in Paradise.” My understanding is… at the death of Christ the New Testament is usher in. Therefore his believe in Christ even on the cross assured him a spot in heaven the instant death occurred, just like us.

[@qt4516]

@jeanclaude7018 here is a few scriptures about where the dead are. Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it. Revelation 20:13; The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Acts 2:27 For You will not leave my soul in Hades,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. psalms 16: 10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. Acts 7:59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Philippians 1 :23 For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. 24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you. Luke 16:19-31 The rich man and Lazarus does not state that it is a parable. Luke 23:43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” 1 Samuel 28 :11 -15 Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” And he said, “Bring up Samuel for me.”12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!”13 And the king said to her, “Do not be afraid. What did you see?”And the woman said to Saul, “I saw a spirit ascending out of the earth.” 14 So he said to her, “What is his form?”And she said, “An old man is coming up, and he is covered with a mantle.” And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground and bowed down.15 Now Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Matthew 17:3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. John 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 5:24 -25 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Numbers 16:30 But if the Lord creates a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the pit, then you will understand that these men have rejected the Lord.” Numbers 16:33 So they and all those with them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly. Isiah 8: 19 And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? Philippians 2 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth Philippians 1 22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. 24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you Revelation6: 9:When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

@jeanclaude7018 you make some good points, but the Bible says a lot of things everything has to be taken in context and at this time, I don’t have time to look into it more. I would also need specific versus. When the Bible speaks of raising the dead it also speaks of taking the believers that are still alive. All this is important in Context.

Because Paradise was the good part of Hell, at this time. Paradise is what Eden is. Eden was guarded by cherubim after Adam & Eve sinned, and the world was totally different after both the flood, and two generations after the Tower of Babel - when the continents split. So, Eden can not be found on earth now because it isn't on earth anymore. There is another example of something translating from earth to the spirit realm - the Ark of the Covenant: after it was anointed with Messiah's blood, it was translated to the temple in Heaven, where it is now - according to Revelation.

[@theeternalsbeliever1779]

He was telling the criminal that his place in the Kingdom of God would be guaranteed on that day. Even the criminal understood that Christ's Kingdom was going to be here on Earth when he asked Christ to remember him when He _comes_ into His Kingdom, and yet millions of "Christians" think they're going to Heaven. What an indictment on "Christians" that this probably unlearned man understood more about the afterlife than them!

Christ didn't go to "Christianity's" fictional version of hell at all. The biggest logic problem with this belief is that it requires a person to believe that He didn't really die like He said He would. This brand of Gnosticism is addressed in John's epistles where the apostle had to combat this particular heresy, and "Christians" have kept it alive because they don't know what the passage actually teaches.

[@Zlatevvv]

Nice debate guys, greetings from Bulgaria!I think OT saints were in the “good” side of Sheol, because they weren’t still perfect to go to heaven. Examples for “good” side of Sheol are David Psalms and Genesis 37:35 ESV translation, where Jacob use word “Sheol” even the parable with Lazarus and rich man. Examples for “bad” or “hell” side of Sheol are Numbers 16:33 , and a lot other examples. That’s my opinion. But the other question is where were Enoch and Elijah when they were caught up, if the heaven was empty till Christ’s physical death? Maybe in “good” Sheol too?

Below is what i believe that Peter meant by Christ preaching to Spirits in prison. 1 Peter 3:18-20 “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but being made alive by the Spirit, by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formally were disobedient, when once Divine long suffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.” This passage teaches that Christ died for the salvation of us all. The Spirit of God that raised Jesus from the dead is the same Spirit that preached to the people before the flood in the days of Noah. Eight souls or eight flesh and blood people accepted the preaching of the Spirit through Noah and were saved by being on the ark. It is commonly held that this passage teaches that during the interval between Christ’s death and resurrection that His ‘immortal soul’ or spirit descended into hades, the prison of the living dead, and preached the gospel to the wicked spirits of those who died before the flood to give them a second chance at obtaining salvation 2400 years after their deaths. This interpretation must be rejected. Why preach the gospel to those who are lost when the bible is quite clear that after a person dies there is no second chance. (See Hebrews 9:27) And why would Christ just single out the wicked before the flood and not give the lost of other generation’s equal opportunity. This false interpretation claims that the dead are alive and can be preached to (although only the wicked who drowned in the flood), and can benefit from that preaching and can repent and be saved. This interpretation would validate the Roman Catholic doctrine of purgatory. Christ was dead while He was in the tomb. He was not alive under the earth preaching the gospel to only one generation of the wicked, as some believe. The major theme all through the Bible is that the saviour died for the salvation of humanity. To say that His death was not really death but a different phase of existence destroys the core of the gospel message. Christ’s body and His mortal soul were both put into the grave. On the day of Pentecost the Apostle Peter said of Christ: Acts 2:27 “you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. NIV. Acts 2:27 “you will not leave my soul in hades, nor will you allow your Holy one to see corruption. NKJV According to Peter the soul of Christ was put into the grave or hades. But it was not there long enough to see corruption or decay. Note that the soul of Christ is paralleled with holy one. It was Christ Himself that was asleep in the tomb to await the resurrection. Christ said of Himself in the Revelation 1:18 “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen…” Christ Himself was dead in the tomb both body and soul. But on the third day He was made alive or resurrected by the Spirit. Also note that Peter says that eight souls were saved from destruction because they got on board Noah’s ark. Peter uses the word ‘soul’ both here and at Pentecost to describe the entire living person, body and spirit together. These eight souls survived the flood and lived as flesh and blood human beings in the New World. Christ, through the spirit did preach to spirits in prison but not during the interval between His death and resurrection. The text says that it was by the Spirit of God that raised Him from the dead that He preached to the people before the flood. Christ, through the Spirit, preached to them in the days of Noah just before the flood, before their deaths while they still had an opportunity to be saved. The phrase, ‘he went and preached’ should be understood to mean ‘by the ministry of Noah’. According to the Apostle Peter, Noah was a preacher of Righteousness (2 Peter 2:5). The Spirit of God preached through Noah to warn the world of its doom, and to offer salvation. Even though the apostle Peter says that Christ did the preaching through the Spirit Peter explains that all of the prophets had the Spirit of Christ in them. 1 Peter 1:10-11 “Of this salvation, the prophets have inquired, and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.” All of the prophets had the Spirit of Christ in them to enable them to preach the truth. Therefore Noah had the Spirit of Christ in him when he preached before the flood. This is what Peter means when he said that Christ through the Spirit preached to the people before the flood. Why are the people before the flood called ‘spirits in prison’? They are called spirits but they are not called disembodied spirits. They are physical people with mortal spirits. Eg Numbers 16:22 “ O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh…” Spirits here clearly means all flesh, man and beast, not in a disembodied state. They are described as being in prison because they are not saved. They were in the prison house of sin. Christ said that His mission was to “ Preach the gospel to the poor and to proclaim liberty to the captives. See Luke 4:18. In Hebrews 2:15 the mission of Christ is stated to be “release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” It’s clear that all humanity are ‘spirits in prison’ before they accept the gospel. This type of language sounds bizarre to us in our culture, but it must be remembered that Peter wrote in the first century and in a culture and language completely different from our own.

Jesus went to paradise to free those in the Bosom of Abraham, or "paradise". This was not in heaven, it was in Sheol, which was divided between the Bosom of Abraham, (paradise) and "hell" by a chasm that could not be crossed by anyone there. From there he went to Heaven, then was resurrected. The Bible never says he suffered the torments of satan/lucifer in hell. The hell Jesus suffered was imposed by MAN before and during his crucifixion.

[@theeternalsbeliever1779]

AoC Network's teaching about hell is false, and it's predicated on the false premise that Christ was teaching afterlife doctrine when He wasn't. He says so Himself at the end that the real moral of the story was about heeding the authority of the Law and the Prophets, and it just flies right over most ppl's heads.

Jesus preached to the disobedient in prison, many came out of the graves and appeared to people. The thief on the cross, was that day in paradise(Abraham's Bosom), Jesus was there. Paul states, "Know ye not that ye shall judge angels" this dismisses Jesus going to forgive angels, and also Jesus said "I came not, but for the lost house of Israel"(This includes all those grafted in)

Right at 5:50 he kind of gives the whole game away. He personally doesn't agree with that interpretation but it could be possible. Basically, he is admitting that his theology is based on "his truth" rather than the truth. This is what happens with sola scriptura. It encourages the Christian to search for "their truth." It encourages a "what I want to believe" mindset when approaching your faith.

[@lovegod8582]

What happens when you don’t have Sola Scriptura is you have a “church” which wrongly interprets many passages, and then all those who are relying on the “church” have the wrong interpretation. This is what happens with JW’s, Roman Catholics, Mormons etc

[@CantStopTheMattWalsh]

@@lovegod8582 I don't think you've fully thought through and understand what sola scriptura means. It's an illogical and self-defeating doctrine. Sola scriptura means that "scripture is the sole infallible rule of faith." Let's use your argument of wrongly interpreting scripture to highlight the illogical and self-defeating nature of sola scriptura. What happens when two non-Catholic Christians disagree on the interpretation of scripture? How do they reconcile who has the correct interpretation? What authority do they appeal to? It can't really be scripture because that's what's being brought into question. Now, you might argue that they could refer to secondary and tertiary passages to support their primary stance, but what if they disagree on those passages, as well? Now you've only made the problem worse (this exact scenario is also why we see hundreds, if not thousands, of Protestant denominations, including "non-denominational"). At some point, these two Christians would have to appeal to an authority outside of scripture. This might be a church elder, pastor, or council. However, based on sola scriptura, scripture is the "sole" infallible rule of faith. Therefore, whatever solution the church elder, pastor, or council comes to, would be fallible. So we are no closer to reconciling the disagreement. Now, you might say that the elder, pastor, or council is being infallibly led by the Holy Spirit, and therefore their answer can be trusted, but if you go that route, then you have to admit that scripture isn't the "sole" infallible rule of faith. No matter how you slice it, sola scriptura is illogical, self-defeating, and the cause of fracturing within Christianity.

[@demarleroux3766]

Interesting topic you touched on. My view. Two deaths. First of the body. Then of the soul in hell if you are not saved. We as saved followers only face the first death before we are resurrected because Jesus had victory over the first death so that we do not have proceed to the second death. Thus, Jesus"s death was in flesh, but not of His soul in hell (second death) . Therefore the gates of hell could not overpower Him.

[@hütehund]

Brother, can you explain why some evil spirits are captured in darkness (hades) and others are free on the earth (demons)? Or are these all the same? 🤔

[@athenabr50]

If we continue with Acts 2: 25- 34 We'll see a picture of which context hell (hades) is used here. ' David is dead and buried' v29. However David is not ascended to heaven v34. This describes death as a sleep and no one has gone to heaven. David is in the grave ie (hades) Christ will not be left in hades ie the grave. Therefore the bible is outling that the dead are like David .. in the grave, and haven't ascended to heaven like David. Death is a sleep. This fits in with 1 Thess 4: 16 where the 'dead in Christ rises first'. Luke is describing the prophecy of David and that Jesus will not remain in the grave like David.

Jesus visited Israel when they were in bondage, but how many made it to the promise land but a remnant?

In 1 Peter 3:19, it's clearly talking about the people in Noah 's time, who were disobedient to God 's word. God preached to their imprisoned souls (figuratively speaking) through God 's spirit. Noah proclaimed God for 100 years still the people hardened their hearts and therefore their souls were in prison (not freed by gospel).

Why are the OT saints considered to be in "captivity" until that time? I never really understood that.

My opinion, the bible states, darkness and light cannot mix. Christ is the light therefore, if He went into the darkness, it would make sense that the darkness would seized to exist. The Bible also says the dead are waiting to be redeemed. My understanding in the Old Testament those that died were placed in a waiting place, but I doubt it was hell. Christ having the keys to Hades does not necessarily mean he went into Hades rather he has the keys for it. But in the end… having Christ is the most important thing.

Perhaps there is an opportunity to shed light here given that your video's topic provides a natural springboard to explore what our Lord Jesus was pointing us to in Luke 16:19-31 by His telling us about the rich man and the beggar being separated by a chasm... Through Luke 16:19-31, our Lord Jesus was pointing us to His eternal Gospel. So, if I may... The rich man and beggar were on the opposite sides of the chasm not because of anything they did or did not do, or because they believed or didn't believe, or any other reason based on them. According to the Scripture, they were on their respective sides of the chasm based on what was given to them while in this world. As believers, we know by faith that everything we have comes from the Lord Jesus. So, then, we understand that the rich man and beggar found themselves on opposite sides of the chasm according to the Lord's sovereign eternal plan for each of them. For many, even from among us, upon hearing that their initial thought may be just as Paul surmised in Romans 9:19... "One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?”" But, to those of us who believe in the Lord Jesus's eternal Gospel, we accept what Paul replied in Romans 9:21... "Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?" So, then, this is how we understand Luke 16:19-31... We know that the rich man could not get himself to the other side of the chasm on his own. We know that neither Abraham nor anyone else on the other side of the chasm could help the rich man get across that chasm. But, the Gospel has made known that there was One who could bridge the chasm. Even more than that, the Gospel declared that He did bridge the chasm... By dying on the Cross, our Lord Jesus Christ became the bridge between both sides of the chasm. It was our Lord Jesus Christ alone who was able to bring the rich man and Abraham together from across the chasm... Indeed, the Cross established the eternal bridge across the chasm between the lost and the saved. So, then, it was through the Cross our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus made it known to all the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms that He had planned all along before the creation of Creation for the redemption of mankind to be His future eternal sons and daughters. That is the Gospel. Truly then, all honor and glory belong to our Lord Jesus, who is God over all, through all, and in all, to be forever praised.

Once you realize that the second temple era, Jew believed shield was a place with two different compartments one for the bad and one for the good, that good being called paradise or Abrahams bosom, all of this stuff makes sense The watchtower and anyone else like them 12:18 have this completely wrong Jesus use the parable of the rich man and Lazarus about Abrahams bosom and a great divide between the two locations in Sheol. Because the people he was talking to believed that and understood that and that’s why he used a common understanding that they all believed. So it makes perfect sense that dead Jesus disembodied spirit went down and either, congratulated the Saints, or, as you stated, announced his victory to the wicked rebels, who are in prison there until the last day Sheol.
