Where was Jesus for the three days between His death and resurrection? | GotQuestions.org

[@JerseyGurl4Life]

Since there’s so much controversy, and question about where He was for those three days, I’m not going to worry about it. I’ll ask Him when I see Him one day.

[@DixieDee]

Why "one day"? Why not ask Him NOW? There is nothing wrong with asking Jesus (God) questions. I ask Him all the time to give me understanding; ESPECIALLY on "controversial" things. Because, there are few things more liberating than experiencing the TRUTH; that is SO far removed from what MOST believe.

"Where was Jesus for the three days between His death and resurrection?" I fought that for 80 yrs of my 91 yr of Christianity. But when I became 75; everything changed in my life. That was because, I finally got on my knees and seriously with tears; asking Jesus, to give me "Wisdom", "Understanding" and "Heavenly Truth". Also I said, "I am not trying to be right. I just want to know WHAT is right". And within days, I began to see things I had NEVER seen. Yet they were always there. And I heard things I had never heard. Yet they were always there. And the best: I began to see scriptures that I had never seen. Yet they were always there and I read them! Praise Jesus. Thus, I have an incredibly understanding of my bible, than ever. And I believe the Holy Spirit's leading me to believe that: Jesus went to HELL for 3 days*. But the time was Forever. And it had to be; to pay for EVERY Sin (except for one) that would ever be. And that is why Jesus cried out on the cross to the Father. And for the first time, I realized WHY Jesus would pray, to what HE really was. For Jesus is the name of the true God Almighty forever. Amen! And I now feel that my prayers EVERY day to Jesus and through the days; that the Holy Spirit is detouring me around lies and causing me to SEE, HEAR and READ truthfully. That I had never knew them. But they were always there. Believe it or not. End of story and I rest me case... ...In any case kind Sir, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN! * Remember this...Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

[@Bona19646]

How could he have gone to hell forever if he was with his apostles three days later, and is now seated at the right hand of the father? I don’t understand what your theology is coming from. It plainly states that the dead have no consciousness. This idea of Casper the friendly ghost going off to some magic land is from Greek paganism. No where does it say that in the Bible.

[@MrPatdeeee]

@@Bona19646 Well let's see in...Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. And having it. to BE in the bible, please read this in...John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. IE: the Golden Great Bridge is real. But it isn't in the bible. Also, the US of America is real; but isn't in the bible. Etc, etc and ETC! So... End of story, and I rest me case... Now I have had said, what I believe; and you have said what you believe. Sadly, they are different (VERY common). Thus, since I never debate or argue (because I believe Jesus doesn't want us to do it); I shall walk away in a Christian way; and never comment to this video... Unless: IF, the're others that want to reply. Praise Jesus' Holy Name.

This was, because Hebrew did not write Vowels, in their Culture. And... *The reason that God changed His name; most of the Jews had Polluted and Prostituted the Covenant; by the time 70 AD came! Because most of His so-called "chosen"; were committing Abominable Sins! So, God made a New "Faith" Covenant Culture; rather than a "613 Commandments" Covenant Culture. Where ALL should say this... ...Brethren, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!

[@marlenekelley8983]

Where does the Bible clearly state that the dead have no consciousness? Paul said "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." Seems to me that's pretty clearly stating that we do have a consciousness. Also, When Jesus said to the man on the cross, "Today, you will be with me in Paradise." I fully believe that when we die, we retain our soul and spirit, and that we are very much who we were, only lacking a flesh and blood body, and we are with Jesus. Once Jesus sets up his kingdom on earth, then we will have glorified bodies--bodies like what Jesus had before his ascension.

His body was in the tomb. His spirit was in paradise, also known as the purgatory or Abraham's bosom. He went there to preach deliverance to the captives and empty paradise. He also took the keys of death and Hell away from Satan. If anyone here does not know Jesus as their Lord and savior, Resurrection Sunday is a great time to come to know him. Please pray this prayer with me: "Lord Jesus; I believe that you died for me on the cross for my sins, and you rose again giving us all resurrection life forever. Forgive me for my sins and come into my heart and make me a new creation, and I will serve you all my days. In your name :Amen. John 03:16-17. God is Love . 1John 04:08

@Robert Stephenson Using references from a book filled with false history, contrived characters, biblical claims of events that occurred in other times, failed prophecies, impossible physics and ignorances of the men who wrote it hardly constitutes a reliable reference.

[@bufficliff8978]

@robertstephenson6806bona said dead and asleep--not unconscious. I disagree with the soul sleep perspective, but it's worth you looking up. Purgatory and Abraham's bosom are very different things, though. Abraham's bosom was/is a temporary paradise. Purgatory is a place of penance, suffering, and cleansing because when we die we're still too ugly from sin to be in heaven and have to be clean before we can enter. Purgatory is a dogma with several pieces of doctrine inside it--it doesn't merely mean a holding place. The amount of time one spends there is proportional to the amount of sun and types of sim committed: a good person could spend 10 years in purgatory, which is almost a saintly short period of time, and bad people reasonably spend a couple thousand years in purgatory. On the other hand, Abraham's bosom either ended when Jesus completed His sacrifice OR ends on final judgement day. Abraham's bosom also isn't a literal place: it's a description of the concept of paradise. Abraham's bosom is a picture of the Roman custom (which the Jews adopted) of reclining onto the person next to you during meals. The same happens in The Lord's Supper when Peter reclined onto Christ; Peter was in His bosom. The story which gives us the term is used to emphasize that not every Jew is a member of the covenant; the rich man, a Jew, would not be with Abraham even though he's of the family line. Abraham and the poor man are either together in paradise, a temporary place, or in heaven, but Abraham's bosom is his literal bosom in that story--not an ethereal location.

Mt 12:40 - Just as Jonah was 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of the fish, so will the Son of Man be for 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth. (which is where hades is) Acts 2:31 - he (David), foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. (It is implied He was there. And not left there but was brought out - resurrection) Rom 10:6-7 - But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, Do not say in your heart, Who will ascend into heaven? (That is, in order to bring Christ down from above) or, Who will descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead) Paul clearly knew, Christ was in the abyss - like the verse plainly shows. Rev 1:17-18 - Do not be afraid, I am the First and the Last and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. And I have the keys of Death and of Hades John 20:17 - Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father These verses clearly reveal that Christ went to Hades (where everyone went when they died) when He died. (the apostles creed also knew correctly biblically - "was crucified, dead and buried, He descended into Hades. On the third day He rose again from the dead") This makes it clear Paradise was not up there YET, but paradise (His presence) was still in Hades in the heart of the earth and only afterwards, paradise was in the Father's presence "in heaven". This is such a bad, wrong answer to this huge question. Going into 1 verse not bring aware of where Paradise is and coming to a conclusion (and then misinterpreting other passages to fit the wrong conclusion) when there are a host of passages that clearly teach that Christ was in Hades between His death and resurrection..

[@backyardboosters9128]

Yeah Got Questions has some decent resources and answers, but when they start pulling different “versions” of the Bible to interpret a verse or view it’s forcing you’re own preset conclusion. I don’t believe that Christ was in hell for punishment myself, I believe when he said “it is finished.” He meant just that but hades held paradise and hell at this time, he went there for multiple reasons. I do not completely understand what all he did there but I know this answer is gibberish. A point made from God’s word shouldn’t need two, three, or even more versions of the Bible pulled to have an answer. Everything we need should be able to come from one version of the Bible. God hasn’t left us in darkness since Christ’s ascension, he didn’t leave us several volumes for 2,000 years to sift between to get answers.

This is why the body decays & dies ... & ... the Soul is sent to Hell. Hell was created by God to punish fall Angels who are powerful spirits ... with freewill ... and are to serve & help the Children of God. Fallen Angels can not be saved, and they know God created them, and that if they sin they will be punished forever. God only created Adam & Eve ... with freewill & the ability to procreate Mankind ... and clearly warned them that if they sin .... they( an their descendants ) will die (body & soul) .... because the Mind of Man ( with freewill & nature) is the body & soul. The nature of Man ... is the body ... and it is clearly corrupted by a common ancestor because every single human being will freely think & do something the is clearly evil or against God. God deliberately made His Children ... with puny bodies & souls .... and able to procreate ... so that they can be saved ... and ... God can become a Father. Adam is the Father of the Children of Man. Jesus is the Father of the Children of God. And Jesus is the first Child of God ... as the Son of God permanently has a body & soul. The Angels ... who can not be saved if they sin ... were created to be the servants & helpers of God's Children .. and knew that if they will be punished forever if they sin. This is why Satan .. hates the Human Race ... as he is one of the most powerful Angels and did not want be a servant & help of God's children. And here is not time ... in heaven or Hell. God is on a 7 000 year Salvation plan ... with Jesus returning in the year 1000 to rule for 1000 years ... and ... all the death & living Believers at the Second Coming ... will join Jesus in Heaven forever. But Jesus has just returned to rule for 1000 years. How so? When you die .... you go straight to Judgement day in the year 7 000 or those alive on Earth ... to either join Jesus for ever or be sent to Hell to die. God has to punish a sinner ... with death (body & soul). The body will die in the Universe. The soul will die in Hell. God sent His only begotten Son ... to be the sin sacrifice ... that will satisfy God's just nature & His lover for His (sinful) creation.

Friends, the subject of the state of the dead is critical or you'll be deceived by teachings of the devil. In order to correctly understand this issue you have to go back to the beginning, in Genesis, in the garden of Eden. God said, ' you shall surely die ' and the devil said ' you shall not surely die, you'll be like God knowing good and evil '. Plenty of verses make it plain that when you die you know not a thing. Just look it up. Job chapter 14 is a very important chapter on the state of the dead. Job 19:25 Job affirms his belief in the Resurrection. In 1 Thess 4 it's very clear that when Christ shall come the believers who are dead are resurrected first and together with the living believers meet the Lord in the air. At the same time! There're a few scatterings of people who are said to be in heaven, for example when Christ rose from the dead and Moses, transfiguration and Jude. Moses appeared as a representative of the dead believers who would be saved as a result of Jesus' sacrifice and Elijah represented those that would be alive when he comes. The reason you have this foolish teaching that Jesus went to heaven straight away is deception by the devil as in the beginning! That's the same reason you have psychics and mediums. These are instruments of the devil my friends.

How is Samuel able to come up from the earth and talk with Saul if soul sleep is true? Luke 16:19-31 - Jesus tells a story about two people (the rich man and Lazarus) that died and after they were dead, they were both concious and aware, the rich man was tormented in flames and Lazarus was comforted with Abraham, they see each other and communicate... I know some say this is simply a parable, but the thing with parables is; Jesus doesn't give names, but here in this story he does. Philippians 1:21&23 - Paul says that for him to die is 'gain', and he goes on to say that he has a desire to depart and to be with Christ. So to Paul, dying is gaining something, suggesting that departing from the body is to be with Christ. If soul sleep is true, then when you die you are gaining nothing and you will not depart from your body and be with Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:8 - "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.". How can you be absent from your body and be present with the Lord is soul sleep is true? Revelation 6:9-11 - The souls of those who have died for Christ are under the alter in heaven asking when they will be avenged, they are told to rest for a little longer and are given white robes. These souls of the dead appear to be concious and aware in heaven. It is true that the dead know nothing, certainly not their bodies, and also it would seem their soul/spirit is unaware of what is happening on the earth after they have died.

@@gr3ywolf144 If you want to understand any subject you must go to the first place it is mentioned and follow up from there. The Scriptures which came later cannot contradict that which is already established in Genesis. KJV Genesis 2:7 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. KJV Genesis 3:19 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. KJV John 5:28-29 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. KJV Psalms 146:1-4 1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. 2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. 3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. KJV Ecclesiastes 3:18-21 18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. 19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. 20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? What is clear is that man was formed from the dust of the earth. He only became a living soul/being after God breathed the breath of life into his nostrils. God does not say to Adam that he's dust and breath, simply dust thou art! Solomon in Ecclesiastes is emphatic that there's no difference between man and beast, they all go back to dust where they came from. He's clear also that the same thing happens to their ' spirits'. Man's spirit is no different from a cow's. Unless you are suggesting that a cow's spirit also goes to heaven, which would contradict the Scriptures! Jesus himself said that the hour is coming when they that are in the graves would hear his voice and come to life meaning that they cannot be alive in any shape or form except for the few examples already mentioned, Moses and the resurrected saints at the Lord's own Resurrection! About Samuel you do not seriously think that was the real Samuel 😳. If you do, I suggest you stop trying to teach anyone until you are properly equipped with understanding the basics! KJV Psalms 146:1-4 1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. 2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. 3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Samuel's thoughts perished the very day he died! You'll remember the serpent/devil telling Eve she would not surely die? He's working through the fallen angels to perpetuate that lie. That's the reason God gave a penalty of death to anyone who consulted mediums and anyone with a familiar spirit. Also this would contradict your earlier assertion that the spirit goes to God yet Samuel comes from the earth. KJV 1 Samuel 28:13 13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth. Those who set themselves against the government of God have entered into an alliance with the archapostate, and he will exercise his power and cunning to captivate the senses and mislead the understanding.

@@stonemuk Thanks for the reply and the time it must have taken to type all of that.👍 There is a common theme that I am seeing with the verses you posted; they all seem to be taking about what happens to the body when you die. I agree that the body returns to the earth, returns to dust and as such all thoughts cease. "Jesus himself said that the hour is coming when they that are in the graves would hear his voice and come to life" - I have no issue with that, everyone will be resurrected, speaking of their bodies. "...meaning that they cannot be alive in any shape or form" - Mark 12:26-27 - "And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the LIVING: ye therefore do greatly err." - Jesus says that God is not the God of the dead, but of the living, even though at the time of Moses, all three, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had been long buried. Jesus seems to be suggesting that they are alive in some way. Also, you gave no explanation to any of the verses I quoted. The only one you mentioned was about Samuel, suggesting that this was not Samuel, even though the Bible clearly records that this was in fact Samuel that Saul was speaking to, im just reading what it says, and it says that both Saul and Samuel spoke to each other. The text does not say that this wasn't Samuel, it says that it is Samuel speaking. Even the medium that Saul went to see seemed surprised. "Samuel's thoughts perished the very day he died! " - Yes, in terms of his body. Still I feel you have to explain Samuel speaking with Saul, and without any snarky comments such as "you do not seriously think that was the real Samuel 😳". Can you also explain 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 - " I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter." Paul appears to be suggesting that there is some part that can be out of the body and go somewhere else. How can you be out of the body and be somewhere else if the body is all there is? As for the devil telling Eve she would not surely die; That was indeed a lie, there was a two fold death, one, physical death as in the body, and two a spiritual death, as in being seperated from God because of sin. "Those who set themselves against the government of God have entered into an alliance with the archapostate, and he will exercise his power and cunning to captivate the senses and mislead the understanding.

This lesson should also have included Matt. 12:40, which tells us that Christ spent 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth, as Jonas spent 3 days and 3 nights in the whales' belly. Paradise, which was also known as Abraham's bosom, is found in the heart of the earth and hell also, as seen in Luke 16:22-26. There seems to be 2 compartments here one of pleasure, one of torment with a great gulf in between. While some believe Luke 16 is a parable, others state that it is literal bc a parable would not include a person's name as with Lazarus. This could help clarify the issue. Many conclude that Christ's body was in the grave, his spirit was in heaven, while his soul was in the heart of the earth. However, faith is a peculiar institution.

A disembodied Messiah is antithetical to the wisdom of Solomon, who wrote: " For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not anything; neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the Sun." - Ecclesiastes, chapter 9, verses 5,6.

Jesus went to Abraham's Bosom. It was split into two parts before Jesus' death. One side paradise, where the OT prophets & saved souls dwelt, & the other side was, essentially, a place of torment. The souls in prison were those who did not turn to God during life, possibly fallen angels as well. Jesus then probably proclaimed the gospel & what He accomplished on the cross & took everyone in Abraham's Bosom to actual Heaven, for they were finally redeemed & made righteous in the sight of God thru Jesus' death. The proclamation of the gospel & redemption of those on the paradise side of Sheol, probably wasn't such great news for the damed souls of those who rejected God in life, including all who perished in the Flood.

[@TragedysHalo]

@Mark Warner When ppl die their soul goes to Heaven to be with God. When Jesus comes back there will be some believers still alive (they'll be caught up) but those who've died & are in Christ will recieve glorified bodies & unit with their souls.

[@TragedysHalo]

@Mark Warner Remember the thief on the cross whom Jesus told that he will be with Him in paradise that day? (Luke 23) In Luke 16 Jesus uses the parable of the rich man & Lazarus to hint at what happens after death. One person is in torment & the other in paradise.

Acts 24:15 I have a hope in God, which these men themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection, both of the righteous and the unrighteous. Well, there is no such thing as a righteous or unrighteous body. Therefore, this can only mean that there will be a resurrection of righteous and unrighteous souls (together with their new bodies). And for anyone to claim that righteous souls DESCENDING with Christ to reacquire bodies counts as a "resurrection" of the righteous is not true as this verse will reveal. Matt. 24:31 And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS ELECT from the four corners of the world, from one end of heaven to the other. So if righteous souls who ARE the elect will be descending with Christ, then the angels would just be gathering bodies. Of course, bodies in the ground are not "the elect." They are just physical material. And even a transformed, immortal body cannot be the real person. The real person will reside in that heavenly dwelling (2 Cor. 5:2).

If we are talking about a physical death then saved men would no longer experience a physical death. So clearly we are talking about another kind of death, the death that entered at the fall.

His feet are trampling down the broken gates of Hades. There are broken chains and keys scattered all about the black void of hades, indicating the salvation of those in the tombs and cells of Hades being freed. In some of the icons there is an old man bound in chains representing Death being conquered, trampled and taken captive. This is what the Lover of mankind did for our souls. This is what the Godman did for our salvation. This is what the Son of God did for all of creation - freed it from Death's grip. Now, go and live your life in the freedom He has wrought for you.

Mark 15:42-44 So they did not die the same day. If you change the comma, there is a new meaning. "I say to you this day, you shall be with me in paradise." And where is paradise (garden)?

Given that there are no comas in the original text, they have been inserted to help us understand the verse. However read this passage with the "coma" moved after instead of before Jesus's answer would read ‘I tell you the truth today, you will be with me in paradise’”. If that might be saying I tell you today (right now, if you will) that the repentant thief would be with Him in His Kingdom. That view might be more in line given He tells Mary to not hold on to Him as He had not ascended to His Father.

Interesting. I’ve always wondered why a lot of the prosperity preachers preach that Jesus went to hell for three days to be punished and tortured. Just now, scanning channels I saw Creflo Dollar saying this. It’s never made sense to me. He was to die on the cross and be raised from the dead but going to hell being part of that process is never mentioned. At least not in any deliberate way. Also on the cross when He said it IS finished, isn’t He saying the punishment phase, is over? The fact that He tells the thief he will be in paradise with Him today- has always been so comforting to me. So simple. So innocent and so beautiful. All he said was remember me Lord when you come into your kingdom…. Many preachers today would most definitely say no man who simply asked that simple question would saved. But he was. We have no way of knowing what Jesus was doing those three days. But I do not believe He was being tortured in hell as humans and fallen angels are. I don’t believe it would serve a purpose. Dying in that cross, the way He did, was the punishment we deserve. Hell is reserved for those who reject Christ, not punishment for sin only. I believe the cross was Gods wrath being poured out in full on Him for our sin. Does that make sense? I have trouble putting into words the thoughts in my head lol. God bless y’all!

[@davidnovakovich5583]

“Today thou shalt be with me in paradise”. Paradise, meaning world of spirits. It couldn’t be “heaven” yet, because the judgement hadn’t yet taken place. Christ’s body was in the tomb, but His spirit still existed, it’s eternal, and each of us also have a spirit within us that’s eternal. Peter told us where He went in spirit: to preach to the spirits in “prison”, meaning a prison like place in the spirit world. No one had been resurrected yet, because Christ hadn’t been, and He’s the first fruits of the resurrection. What is resurrection? The rejoining of the spirit and the body, never again to be separated. When He told Mary not to touch him, He had just reunited His spirit to His now immortal body, and hadn’t yet presented Himself to the Father after triumphing over death and hell. Later, after he had ascended to the Father, he appeared to the apostles and disciples and told them to handle Him and see, “for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me have”. It’s all pretty simple, and shows the amazing love that Christ and the Father have for each of us, and how little we understand about their plan for us, but we know that infinite possibilities await us because of their grace.

Very helpful overview of relevant Scriptures, and I believe your conclusions are correct: the essence of hell is the ABSENCE OF GOD, which Jesus experienced during his crucifixion; one possible argument is that the PLACE hell - the place of eternal suffering - will not become reality until AFTER the Judgment - the lake of fire in Revelation. It is obvious that unredeemed spirits after physical death will experience suffering of some sort, which will be hell-like in nature - essentially separated from God when his presence would be the ONLY thing that is desired.
