IN THE NAME OF FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRITHERE I AM AGAIN TO SHARE THE TRUTH OF GOD LOVE(Alpha and Omega;54717)
Matthew 12:40For 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.The last verse confuses me though why would Jesus go to hell for 3 days?
THIS IS WHAT JESUS SAID :-" THE HOUR HAS COME FOR THE SON OF MAN TO BE GLORIFIED. TRULY I SAY TO YOU, UNLESS THE GRAIN OF WHEAT FALLS TO THE EARTH AND DIES, IT REMAINS ALONE: BUT IF IT DIES, IT PRODUCES MUCH FRUIT" ( JOHN 12: 23-24)UNLESS THE GRAIN DIES, JESUS WILL DIE AND THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH WILL BE BORN.JESUS ALLOWS HIS LIFELESS BODY TO BE LAID IN THE EARTH: ON THE RISING FROM THE TOMB, HIS SAME BODY, NOW GLORIFIED, WILL ALSO EMBRACE THE BELIEVERS UNITED TO HIM.THE LIFE THAT IS NOW HIS WILL BE COMMUNICATED TO ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD.UNLESS THE GRAIN DIES. THIS IS THE LAW FOR THE LIFE THAT WANTS TO BE FRUITFUL WHICH ALSO RELATED TO "THE TRUE VINE" AND MARK 8:34.For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)"If, while we seek to be justified in Christ, it becomes evident that we ourselves are sinners, does that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not! If I rebuild what I destroyed, I prove that I am a lawbreaker. For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"(Galatians 2: 17-21)Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God (Roman 6 : 8-10)MAY GOD BLESS AMENFROM WATT
