| 3 full DAYS and 3 full NIGHTS HE+ spent in the Heart of the Earth. What was HE+ doing down there all that time ? |
When HE+ had received the vinegar HE+ cried with a
LOUD VOICE,
" FATHER, INTO YOUR HANDS I+ COMMIT MY SPIRIT."
Having said this HE+ bowed HIS+ Head and released HIS Spirit and
Descended into the Heart of the Earth, leaving HIS+ tired Body on the Cross.
And the Earth SHOOK
and the
rocks were sheared
and the Veil of the Temple
was torn in TWO...
from TOP TO
BOTTOM !
Where
did JESUS go during the Three days and Three nights?
The Scripture states plainly from our
LORD'S own lips that HE+ would be Three Days and Three Nights in The Heart of the Earth., the Realm
of the departed human soul and spirit, called in the Hebrew sheol.
We
follow the original timeline of The LORD+ being Crucified on the
Wednesday at the morning Sacrifice at 9:00 AM, remaining there until
3:00 PM the hour of The Evening Sacrifice, releasing HIS+ Spirit into
HIS+ FATHER'S keeping at that hour and descending into the heart of the
earth.
HE+ came out of the Tomb a full three days and three nights later , at 3:00 PM Saturday evening, making three full days and three full nights in the heart of the earth.
HE+ was First SEEN by HIS+ Disciples very early the first day of the week. The confusion has come for many because there were TWO Sabbaths in that week: a High Holy Day plus the regular Saturday Sabbath.
One thing we know is where JESUS our LORD+
went when HE+ left the CROSS and HIS Crucified Body there because HE+ said so HIMSELF+.
Also... we can KNOW that HE+ went there as
a Victor and a Conqueror! HE+ did not go there as some cults, some
groups, and yes, witches' covens, try to tell us, to be tortured by
satan.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
On HIS+ CROSS HE+ Broke
satan's back and broke his head as well! JESUS said, "IT IS
FINISHED!" HE+ went into "sheol" in HIS+ FATHER'S
STRENGTH, to the TERROR and HORROR of the Unclean rebel spirits. (
Genesis 3:15 )
What did HE+ do during the three days and nights?
.... WHATEVER HE+ WANTED TO DO !
HE+ was CHRISTUS VICTOR!
CHRIST the VICTOR !
Taking down the gates of Hell from the
area called in Scriptures, Abraham's Bosom ... only the dead could enter
the realm of the departed human soul and spirit, but THIS ONE TIME... the
Crucified , SECOND ADAM+ entered into it!
For GOOD REASON Abraham "rejoiced to see
HIS+ Day... He saw it ... and was GLAD !
GLORIOUS LIGHT
FLOODED
SHEOL!
Here are some quotes from Scripture from the
Ancient Pre-Nicene Church Writings. They had the same Scriptures we do, and
they knew how to use them and TO LIVE BY THEM.
Irenaeus ...
...The LORD DESCENDED INTO THE REGIONS BENEATH
THE EARTH PREACHING HIS+ ADVENT THERE ALSO AND DECLARING THE REMISSION OF SINS
RECEIVED BY THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM+...
ANF vol 1, pg. 499,
Irenaeus Against Heresies, chapter 27, section 2
Clement...
Preaching Salvation to the Righteous Dead.
The Patriarchs, the Prophets, the Ninevites who repented at the preaching of
Jonah
( ANF vol 1, pg 7,
chapter 7, First Epistle of Clement )
From I Peter 3:18 ....
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the
just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the
flesh, but Made Alive by the SPIRIT:
3:19 By Which ( HOLY SPIRIT)
also HE+ went and preached
unto the spirits in prison;
1 Peter 4:6
For
for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they
might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the
spirit.
3:20 Which some time were disobedient, when once
the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being
prepared, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
3:21 The like figure whereunto even
baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the
flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the
resurrection of JESUS CHRIST:
( To the Ancient Church, baptism was not a
"symbol" or an afterthought, but a SUPERNATURAL event of Rebirth into
Light.) The SPIRIT of GOD, The Water ,and The BLOOD of The LAMB+ MESSIAH,
agree to the ONE THING! ( 1 John 5:8 )
3:22 Who has gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels
and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
Leading Captivity captive, away on HIGH,
...THOU didst not leave
His+ 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
Preparing HIMSELF+ to raise His Earthly
Body as a GLORIFIED BODY, being the Second Adam, as The prototype of The
NEW BODIES THAT ALL WHO TRUST IN HIM+ and OBEY HIS+ Voice shall have in the
RESURRECTION unto Eternal Life with HIM+.
As our LORD+ JESUS said,
"NO man can take MY+ Life from ME+;
I+ have Power to lay down MY+
Life,
and I+ have Power to TAKE IT UP AGAIN!
This Commandment
I+ have received from MY+ FATHER"
John 10:18
This is part of what our Precious LORD+
was doing in the Three Days and Nights in the Heart of the earth!
HE+ also took with HIM+ those Righteous
dead ones from the area of Abraham's Bosom, and brought them with HIM+ after
HIS+ Resurrection, and sent them into Jerusalem to appear unto many
there.
Ancient writings state that what they said
to many in Jerusalem was that: "YESHUA of Nazareth who was Crucified and
rejected by the religious leaders, IS THE MESSIAH! We are only her for a very
short time to tell you this. We must leave and go with HIM where HE+
carries us.
JESUS then assembled these dead ones to
HIMSELF+ and ascended on HIGH, taking and leading the formerly captive ones
away from the earth completely, and giving gifts unto the children of Adam --- perhaps to those who had
died --- and waited in
sheol/hades for HIS+ appearing. ( Ephesians 4:8 )
Our LORD+ then CAME OUT OF THE TOMB ON THE
FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, TOTALLY ALIVE AND TOTALLY GLORIFIED!! BODY, SOUL,
AND SPIRIT!
HE+ IS THE LIGHT
IN
THIS DARK WORLD!
NOTHING
WILL EVER BE
THE
SAME AGAIN!
GLORY TO GOD
IN THE
HIGHEST!
AMEN
