Forming the Church
in the Heart of the Earth,
Part 2
for the Year of Our LORD, 4.8.2008
Come, and let us return unto the LORD:
for HE hath torn, and HE will heal us;
HE hath smitten, and HE will bind us up.
After two days will HE revive us:
in the third day HE will raise us up,
and we shall live in HIS sight.
Hosea 6:1-2

The formation of the CHURCH of CHRIST JESUS began with His+ descent into hell [ Hades / Sheol ] immediately after Our LORD’S crucifixion. Contrary to many popular doctrines and suppositions, Scripture is not found to support Our LORD’S descent into hell in order to fight with satan. It is NOT WRITTEN that The LORD JESUS CHRIST dealt with the devil or satan or the demons … even in the slightest way … when HE+ descended down there… and HE+ certainly was not tortured nor held captive by them. Their power was vanquished.

However, it IS plainly and clearly WRITTEN:
That your faith should not stand
in the wisdom of men,
but in the power of God.
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,
even the hidden wisdom,
which God ordained
before the world unto our glory:
Which none of the princes
of this world knew:
for had they known it,
they would not have crucified
the Lord of glory.
I Cor. 2:5, 7,8

Our LORD went down into the heart of the earth to form His+ Body, the Church, with the Old Testament saints and with those unrighteous, disobeying ones who died in the Flood… those whom [we honestly simply assume ] had not heard the preaching of Noah.
None of the powers of the wicked ones could hinder HIM+. It is likely they were cowering in fear. Nor could the gate of hell prevail against HIM+… NOTHING could stop HIM+ now !

And Simon Peter answered and said,
Thou art the Christ,
the Son of the living God.
And I say also unto thee,
That thou art Peter,
and upon this rock
I will build My+ church;
and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16: 16, 18

And I say also unto thee,
That thou art Peter,
and upon this rock
I will build My+ church;
and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16: 16, 18

This discussion will be continued as we ponder verses from Psalm 139 and a few other Scriptures in the context of the formation of HIS+ Body, the Church… in the heart of the earth.

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;
neither wilt thou suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption.
Psalm 16:10
