Jesus’ 3 Days and Nights in Sheol Paradise After His Crucifixion!

















It was after the crucifixion of the Messiah of Israel that Satan and godless Israelites rejoiced in their demonic triumph of unrighteousness. They thought that they had done away with “This Man”, this Miracle Worker, this Preacher of RIGHTEOUSNESS, this violator of the Sabbath, the "messiah", this One who claimed to be Almighty God the Son; and it was exhilarating to their godless mind (Matt. 27, Luke 23). As the Sabbath day was about to begin these godless men made their preparation to finish “their” Feast of Passover and partake in “their” man-made traditions (Matt. 15:7-11, 23, John 18:28). Satan the original architect of darkness (John 8:44) was making plans to further His darkened Kingdom and in the delusion of his mind, rejoicing at the murder of the Messiah at the very hand of unbelieving Israel. How perfect must have this thought been in this fallen angelic madman’s reprobate mind? The very chosen nation of Almighty God (Deut. 4:13, 7:6, Rom. 9:4-5), the Apple of His eye (Deut. 32:10, Ps. 17:8, Zech. 2:8), the beholder of all the covenants and promises for the world (Rom. 9:4-5), and nation which was to bring forth the Seed (Messiah) of Abraham (Gen. 22:18, Acts 3:25, Gal. 3:16, Rev. 12:1-5) had been Satan’s chief vessel (Acts 2:22-23, 7:51-54) in the death, violent murder, eradication and violent crucifixion of Almighty God the Son, who abided in human flesh (Isa. 9:6-7, Micah 5:2, John 1:14, 1 Tim 3:16). As these haters of reality - in the physical and spiritual world - went about their delusional godless existence after this barbaric slaying; unknown to them in the abode of the dead something else was taking place.

When the Lord Jesus willingly gave up His ghost on the cross in the ninth hour, His Spirit departed into the nether regions of the earth called Sheol or Hades, the abode of the dead.

When the Lord Jesus cried, "It is finished!" and willingly gave up His ghost on the cross in the ninth hour, His Spirit departed into the nether regions of the earth called Sheol or Hades, the abode of the dead (Matt 12:40, Luke 16:22-31, Eph. 4:8-10, 1 Peter 3:19). This abode is where the spirits of just and unjust men awaited (some excitedly, while the majority horrifically). The Just for the first resurrection (Isa. 26:19, Dan. 12:2, Rev. 20:4-6), while the others in EXPONENTIAL fear for the Day of ETERNAL Judgment that would come at the end of time (Matt. 25:41, Rev. 20:11-15).

This abode is where the spirits of just and unjust men awaited (some excitedly, while the majority horrifically!

Sheol, the abode of the dead, which is in the center of the earth (Matt. 12:40, 1 Peter 3:19) is made up of two compartments. One called Sheol Hell, the other Sheol Paradise (Luke 16:22-31). Between these two realms is a great fixed gulf which neither side can cross (Luke 16:26). These two realms are FOREVER separated by the personal acts of belief and unbelief in the cross-work of Jesus Christ (John 3:16-21; 36; 8:24, Rev. 22:11). Sheol Hell is where the unredeemed and unregenerate spirits of man from Cain unto the last unsaved individual of time awaits for their ETERNAL sentence in the Lake of Fire coming up at the end of time (Rev. 20:11-15). Sheol Paradise is where the redeemed from Adam to the thief on the cross await for the completion of Christ’s redemptive and atoning work on the cross (Eph. 4:8-10, 1 Peter 3:19, 4:6).

Between these two realms is a great fixed gulf which neither side can cross. These two realms are FOREVER separated by the personal acts of belief and unbelief in the cross-work of Jesus Christ.

When Jesus entered into the realm of the dead both groups saw His glorious entrance as He entered into Sheol Paradise. Oh beloved, what rejoicing to the redeemed prisoners of Death’s undeliverable hand (Heb. 2:14-15)! The very One; in whom these individuals from who Adam to the thief on the cross had put their trust in times past for their sinful souls. had descended down into their presence to let them know that ETERNAL salvation was complete and deliverance from the grave/Sheol was a mere 3 days away (Eph. 4:8-10, 1 Peter 3:19, 4:6)! As Jesus Christ abode in Sheol with the redeemed, the once dwellers of time and earth who had now been subject to the nether realms of Paradise rejoiced and fellowshipped with their Savior! Those who had placed their trust in Almighty God's Lamb did not esteem the world's pleasures and godless appetites but looked for a city and Maker who was Almighty God and who hungered and thirsted for RIGHTEOUSNESS more than decadence (Heb.11:13). As the third day came, Jesus told those in Sheol Paradise that He would now rise because of His perfect and sinless life and ETERNAL redemption for these from the grave was now FULLY complete (Matt. 12:40, 1 Cor. 15:55, Phil 2:1-11, Rev. 1:18)!

As the tormented and lost looked across the great fixed gulf and saw Christ arising up into the realms of the physical world three days later, they now fully comprehended that their doom was FOREVER sure!
.
As the tormented and lost looked across the great fixed gulf saw Christ arising up into the realms of the physical world three days later, they fully comprehended that their doom was FOREVER sure. Horrified and filled with fright; their hearts surged to EXPONENTIAL levels of fear! For these godless and lawless transgressors of time, these now knew that FOREVER their fate was sealed and they would FOREVER give a full account for their deeds in the flesh when they once walked on the earth. For the Savior of the world had paid the FULL price and now would be RIGHTEOUS Judge of ALL (Rev. 20:11-15)! As Satan saw His ETERNAL Creator arise from the abode of dead, his prison hold for all of Adam's fallen race, he also was filled with absolute EXPONENTIAL dread and knew that his doom was indeed now sealed (Gen. 3:14-15, John 12:31)! What is absolutely amazing is that Satan is still relentless in seeking to destroy the work of God in light of the horrific dread that is as a battleship chain around his neck (John 8:44).

As Jesus arose, He made himself known to his disciples and 40 days later when He ascended into Heaven, He took with Him the spirits of the redeemed to be in His and His Father’s presence in Heaven.
.
As Jesus arose, He made himself known to his disciples (Matt. 28, John 21) and 40 days later when He ascended into Heaven (Acts 1:9), He took with Him the spirits of the redeemed to be in His and His Father’s presence in Heaven, to await the first resurrection from the dead in which these redeemed will receive a resurrected body of righteousness, which they will be given to perfectly serve and worship the Triune God for EVERMORE (Dan. 12:2, Eph. 4:8-10, Rev. 20:5-6, 21, 22:1-5)! This first resurrection will take place some 2000 years later at Christ glorious return to planet earth at the Battle of Armageddon when He is to reign for a 1000 years (Rev. 19:11-21, 20:4-6).

He has risen indeed!

When Jesus rose from the dead and then was then seated at the Right hand of the Father forty days later (Psalm 110:1, Luke 22:69, Acts 2:34, 7:55, Heb. 12:1-2), He then ten days later on the Feast of Pentecost established His called-out assembly (i.e., the church - Acts 2:1-4) made up of Jews and gentile (1 Cor. 2:13, Gal. 3:28) believers to be an exceedingly wondrous chosen vessel for His glory while Israel is set aside for a season (Rom. 9-11). This “called out assembly" (i.e., the church) would be -each member - individually given the Holy Spirit of Almighty God (John 14:16), have the risen Messiah’s and Father’s Personal indwelling, be seated spiritually at the very Right-hand of Almighty God, and blessed with ALL spiritual glory, praise and lauded as sons of the ETERNAL Father! They also would be given diverse gifts to be used for the glory and outworking of Almighty God until the Rapture. My beloved, who can even begin to comprehend the EXCEEDINGLY EXPONENTIAL wonders that the risen Messiah, the ETERNAL Son of Almighty God has done for the redeemed and for those who love Him (1 Cor. 2:9, Rev. 21, 22:1-5). My beloved, it will take all of ETERNITY to even begin to just taste the WONDERS AND ETERNAL LOVE of the Father.

My beloved, who can even begin to comprehend the EXCEEDINGLY EXPONENTIAL wonders that the risen Messiah, the ETERNAL Son of Almighty God has done for the redeemed and for those who love Him.

As Jesus ascended into the lower regions of the earth and then ascended, He took captive the very captor of the redeemed - DEATH and Sheol - and set the redeemed of Adam's race free FOREVER (Rom. 5:12-21, Eph 4:8-10).

"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" (1 Cor. 15:55)

"I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." (Rev. 1:18)

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25-26).

My dear friend, Do YOU believe this? Do YOU believe that Jesus IS the resurrection and the life? I pray to Almighty God that you do! For our ETERNAL destinies are based on what one has done with Jesus Christ the Savior of the world (John 3:16-17, 36). We have two groups of individuals whose destinies are FOREVER settled that testify to the living that we will be in one place or the other in FOREVER'S ETERNAL future. This Easter may you - as the thief on the cross did (Luke 23:42-43), receive Jesus Christ as your Savior. You will truly FOREVER NEVER be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

I understand that Cain is the first condemned person on your list but why to you list Adam as the first redeemed as opposed to Able? There is no scriptural evidence for Adam receiving forgiveness, if anything scripture points to Adam not having been forgiven. Think about it. The angels that transgressed against God cannot find forgiveness because they knew God. Likewise in Hebrews 6:4 we see that those who part-take in the Holy Spirit also find no forgiveness if they sin, so how then can Adam having been fully trained by God Himself transgress God and find forgiveness? Pray about it. Visit my website if you get a chance at www.likealittlechild.com

My friend, great question.

Adam’s sin was done in full defiance but also in ignorance. Adam was not fully exposed to ALL the full glory, revelation and RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God as the Angels were (Gen. 3:6, Rom. 5:12-21, 1 Tim 2:14). Adam was created genius but was ignorant of wisdom .Adam and humanity (his seed) were created to learn and display redemptive plan to the angels. Adam would tragically learn that in his ignorance that his choice was devastatingly foolish and repented (Rom. 5:12-21).

First off… Adam called his wife Eve meaning mother of all the living before there were any children. By faith he believed God would provide the savior as God stated he would (Gen.3:15). He also sent Adam and Eve out of the garden so that he would NOT partake (and his seed) of the tree of life which would FOREVER seal Adam’s and mankind’s ETERNAL destiny (Gen. 3:22-24). Also in the Garden of Eden God gave Adam and Eve coats of skin which means that an animal was sacrificed in their stead the shedding of Blood (Gen. 3:21 Lev. 17:11). The key phrase unto Adam also… (Gen. 3:21). Also when Cain was born, Adam believed that Cain might be the Savior in God’s prophecy that the Savior (the seed of the woman) would come from Eve. Adam stated, Behold I have gotton a man FROM the LORD speaking of a personal relationship to His Creator (Gen. 4:1). Cain NEVER stated that about his son when he was born (Gen.4:17). There is never any mention of the Lord at all on Cain’s lips. Also Cain LEFT the presence of the Lord (Gen. 4:16) Adam did not (Gen. 4:1, 25). Adam was cast out of the garden and the ground was cursed for his own benefit but was never cast out of God’s presence. He choose to stay (Gen. 4:1, 25). Also when Cain slew his son Abel who believed, Adam was looking for another believing son and stated that the Lord has appointed me another seed (Gen. 4:24-26). It is through these verses we can see that Adam was trusting in the Lord.

Remember my friend Angels are not men. Two totally different groups. Adam had every right in Almighty God’s plan for humanity to be saved. Adam is part of the Whosoevers (ALL) - Isa. 55:1, John 3:16-17). Adam is part of line of Jesus, not because he was the first man, but was a believer. That line speaks of the believing line of Messiah – the seed of the woman (Luke 3:23-28) i.e., the son of God the believing line not angels (Gen. 6:1-2, Luke 3:28).

The verse you referred to (Heb. 6:4) when taken in context with the whole chapter (Heb. 6) refers to those who are saved, regenerated born again.

What faith do you adhere to Jehovah Witness, Mormon, Seventh Day Adventist? Just curios?

The above is a bunch of lies, like all of your writing. You have no scripture to back what you have just said.

To Anonymous#1 - It's full of scriptural references - What are you talking about?

Eric said...

I'm just a follower of Jesus Christ, I don't have a denomination. Now I'm curious why you suggested all of those weirdo denominations, mormons aren't even christians.

I don't think I'm able to judge whether Adam found forgiveness or not. God will show mercy to whomever He wills and I guess its none of my business.

Did you check my website articles on the law of marriage? I think they will be very interesting to you.

The Ignorant Fishermen said...

Eric, no offence my friend… just was curious,. Those groups hold to that teaching about Adam.. just looking for some info about you… where you are coming from. Are you Polish and live in Poland?

Yes I checked out your web site. I think our belief on how one is saved may differ… I need more time to look it over Also... is true, it is a small matter if Adam was saved or not. I do believe that he was... that is my position.

Be sure to check out my home website

Dude, No Bible verses??? I think I know who that was.... Let it go son... and move on.

eric said...

A ha, I didn't know they believe that. I was just talking about the whole Adam thing and then saw your article the next day so it was fresh on my mind. I'm half polish! The whole marriage thing centers on the fact the bible defines marriage as the act of a man taking a woman's virginity and there is no other biblical definition of marriage. It is fully shown on the website. Almost no one agrees with me and the explanation offered on www.likealittlechild.com but I saw you on Ivar's website so I hoped maybe you would agree because the full explanation of why marriage is represented the way it is today is mostly to blamed on the roman catholic church I think. Let me know!
There is so much content on your website! You seem so prolific!

Blessings to you friend,

Hey Eric thanks! Let me look into your marriage position a little more and I will get back to you.

God Bless!

There is no tri- unity gods! This vain theology leads to hell.

This post is really to Eric, however David you may want to jump in.
I will let you look up Book, Chapter and Verse.
Let us go to the account of the Harlot. She was caught red handed. Jesus said, "go and sin no more." Now, if those playing the harlot, repent - go and sin no more, and then marry, are they condemned to death, or are they forgiven of their sins by the Blood of Jesus Christ as His atoning sacrifice?

The Ignorant Fishermen said...

Amen! Couldn't say it any better!

I'm old enough to remember when the Apostle's Creed contained the line, "He descended into Hell". The idea being, as explained by the Preacher in confirmation was that Jesus fought Satan and was victorious.

" the phrase "descendit ad inferos" ("he descended into hell") echoes Ephesians 4:9, "κατέβη εἰς τὰ κατώτερα μέρη τῆς γῆς" ("he descended into the lower, earthly regions"


But I'm older now, much older, and am an Atheist. Enjoy yourselves on your Holy Day.

Jesus asked her where are those who condem u and they were gone she says noone Lord and jesus says neither do i....forgot that part. And exactly that everyone who claims the blood of Jesus will be saved. It is a sin to wear polyester,think of anyone except your wife and to think hate you are a murderer. a sins a sin Jesus came to save all siners.We are all guilty period thats the point noone is sinless

Anonymous said...

All angels are considered Gods. If it takes 3 of them to get power thats on them. The main trinity is Father Jesus and holy spirit. The holy spirit is a fellow servent but has power. The point is God says put no other gods before me.He knows there are others who want credit but dont put them first. Jesus is his son " HEAR HIM" (quote from The FATHER)

Anonymous said...

Adam sinned because the woman was deceived no him. Jesus went to hell to collect the souls who accepted him just as on earth. Adam could have been one. GOD could have missed his adam that might be why he had a change of heart. Does a father not forgive his son for stealing his car to go to a party? JESUS is about forgiveness period.FORGIVE EVERYONE EVEN EVE and you will be saved

Every church will claim Jesus as long as you worship them too. These are angels stealing Jesus to bring in the people but the first commandments Thou shall have no other gods. Notice the name doesnt say Jesus witness or Jesus' mormans or Jesus' rest day???

Any angel even the HOLY SPIRIT of jesus is a fellow servent not to be worshipped check REV where the holy spirit shows John the future and John want to bow down to him and worship for the knowlege.
