How long was Christ in the heart of the earth, as in descended into hades-Abraham's bosom, the scriptural evidence

[Scott Downey]

The following proves scripturally Christ was in the place of the dead, otherwise called, hades-Abraham's Bosom-paradise for 3 days and 3 nights.

Agree? Yes-No, reasons?

Death had dominion over Christ until God raised His from the dead.

Romans 6:9
knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

God raised Christ on the third day from the dead, so until God did that, he was in the realm of the dead, under it's dominion.

***********************************************************

Christ experienced the pain of DEATH, what Peter wrote here is not the pain of crucifixion
Christ being the Lord of Life, of course it must have been a pain to be in submission to the place of the dead, under its dominion!
This was the will of God.
However, I imagine crucifixion was more painful.

Christ was only LOOSED from the pain of death on the third day.

Acts 2
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— 23 Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you [f]have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 whom God raised up, having [g]loosed the [h]pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

Matthew 12:40
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Hebrew- Lunar Calendar.

Any portion of a single day (Sunrise) IS One Day.
Any portion of a single night (Sundown) IS One Night.

IOW - Yes, three days, three nights.

Glory to God,
Taken

The Bible clearly states that Jesus was in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights, just as He said in Matthew 12:40, "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." After His death on the cross, Jesus’ body was placed in the tomb, but His spirit descended to the lower parts of the earth. Ephesians 4:9 says, "Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?" Luke 23:43 records Jesus telling the repentant thief, "Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise," indicating that He went to the place of blessing for the righteous dead, often called Abraham’s bosom (Luke 16:22). Jesus was not abandoned to decay, as Acts 2:31 explains, "He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption." On the third day, just as He foretold (Luke 24:7), Jesus rose again, victorious over death and the grave. The scriptural evidence is plain: Jesus was in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights, fulfilling the Scriptures exactly as He said.

God raised Christ on the third day from the dead, so until God did that, he was in the realm of the dead, under it's dominion.

No, Jesus was preaching to the old testament saints in Abraham's bosom which would not have been allowed had He been under the dominion of demons chained in darkness (see Jude 1:6) as the false teachers claim (like Kenneth Copeland)

1 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 quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

"Which were sometime disobedient" shows Jesus was preaching to the old testament saints in Abraham's bosom and not to the fallen angels who are chained up in hell

It was Jesus' soul and body that suffered on the Cross for our sin, He (His Spirit) never became corrupt which it would have had He been under the dominion of the powers of darkness as the false teachers claim (like Kenneth Copeland)

Matthew 27:46 (also see Psalm 22)
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

This is how we know Jesus was separated from the Father and when.

Jesus indicates that... the Father had forsaken Him, which is being separated from God (spiritual death). Very obviously not because Jesus did anything wrong, but because He is being forsaken in our place suffering what we would have suffered had we died in our sin. This is literally what it means to be the Lamb of God and be THE offering for our sin.

Isaiah 53:10-12
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death [separation from God]: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

2 Corinthians 5:21
For He has made Him to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.
(see Romans 6:23 - the wages of sin is death)

This is what Jesus Christ experienced as He tasted of death for every man (see Hebrews 2:9) which also says Jesus was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death.

But, Jesus never became corrupt and suffered satan having dominion over Him in Hell as some have taught and claimed in error (see scriptures below)

Acts 2:27 (see Psalm 16:10)
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption

I never said he was under the dominion of demons. You do not believe the scriptures.
He was under the dominion of death until God raised Him from the dead.

You are adding all sorts of thoughts that are dumb and rediculous, and attributing them to me.

Death is not yet destroyed, it will be, but only when Christ returns and all are resurrected.
1 Cor 15
24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. 27 For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. 28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

 

[Scott Downey]

Romans 6:9
knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

Only after His resurrection did death no longer have dominion over Christ
Jesus actually did die. HE said he was dead!

Revelation 1:18
I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.

Christ went the way of all flesh and died, just like His brethren as He had a flesh and blood body, and when He died He went to the same place they did.
He who has ears to hear, let Him hear.


But see it's not for me to change someone from their misguided and faulty fleshly minded thoughts about scriptures.

Only God can grant the knowledge of the truth.

 

[Dash RipRock]

I never said he was under the dominion of demons.

You specifically said Jesus was under the dominion of darkness and fallen angels are chained in darkness where you claimed Jesus was when He was under the dominion of darkness.

You made no mention of what God's Word tells us Jesus was doing while he was in hell, being uninformed and all.

You do not believe the scriptures.

You are confusing me with the guy in the mirror

He was under the dominion of death until God raised Him from the dead.

Scripture tells us He suffered death on the cross, and death is being separated from God.

When He was in hell we was not suffering from death or separated from God because He was preaching

You are confusing the fact that Jesus' Body had to be resurrected and brought back to be among the living, so actually it is you that is confused and are not believing all the Lord said about this. You should believe all of God's Word not bits and pieces

You are adding all sorts of thoughts that are dumb and ridiculous, and attributing them to me.

You are doing that all on your own - keep talking and more dumb and ridiculous stuff will come out

You should do stand up comedy!

Death is not yet destroyed

I never said death had been destroyed yet, that's just your misunderstanding and you trying to accuse someone of wrong doing because they don't see things partially like you are doing not knowing other things God said about this

Death no longer has dominion over Him.

Only His body was laying in the tomb during the 3 days
He was alive and well in hell preaching to those in Abraham's bosom

Your confusion is concerning in the physical sense His body was dead and had to be resurrected so He could walk among the living on earth again.

His soul was the offering for sin as God's Word tells us in Isaiah 53:10-12 and that happened on the Cross.

Only God can grant the knowledge of the truth.

Yeah, we'll keep you in our prayers so the Lord opens the eyes of your understanding to know that you need to take in to account all the things the Lord said about this rather than picking and choosing only those passages that appear to make your preconceived idea true.

You need to learn to rightly divide the Word of Truth

You are completely ridiculous, preposterous and going on ignore now. Bye.
And your prayers will someday convict your own self.

I never said His spirit was dead, you are exceedingly presumptuous, I bet you're like that with everyone.

You lack discernment of evil, right and wrong, and speak from your fleshly mind.

And you are looking for evil in others, not seeing it within your own self.

The ignore button is a wonderful thing, more of you should know when to use it.
