00:00: Today's question is, did Jesus go to hell between His death and resurrection? In this video
00:05: I'll answer that question from a biblical perspective, and afterwards, as always, I'll share some helpful resources, so stick around until the end.
00:19: There is a great deal of confusion in regards to this question. The concept that Jesus went to hell after His death on the cross comes primarily from the
00:27: Apostles' Creed, which states He descended into hell. There are also a few scriptures which, depending on how they are translated, describe
00:34: Jesus going to hell. In studying this issue, it is important to first understand what the Bible teaches about the realm of the dead.
00:41: In the Hebrew Scriptures, the word used to describe the realm of the dead is Sheol. It simply means the place of the dead, or the place of departed souls or spirits.
00:51: The New Testament Greek equivalent of Sheol is Hades, which also refers to the place of the dead.
00:56: Other scriptures in the New Testament indicate that Sheol, or Hades, is the temporary place where souls are kept as they await the final resurrection and judgment.
01:05: Revelation 20, verses 11 -15 gives a clear distinction between Hades and the
01:10: Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire is the permanent and final place of judgment for the lost. Hades, then, is a temporary place.
01:18: Many people refer to both Hades and the Lake of Fire as hell, and this causes confusion.
01:23: Jesus did not go to a place of torment after His death, but He did go to Hades. Sheol, or Hades, was a realm with two divisions, a place of blessing and a place of judgment.
01:34: The abodes of the saved and the lost are both generally called Hades in the Bible. The abode of the saved is also called
01:40: Abraham's bosom in the KJV or Abraham's side in the NIV in Luke 16 .22
01:46: and Paradise in Luke 23 .43. The abode of the unsaved is called hell in the
01:52: KJV or Hades in the NIV in Luke 16 .23. The abodes of the saved and the lost are separated by a great chasm,
02:00: Luke 16 .26. When Jesus died, He went to the blessed side of Sheol, and from there took the believers with Him to heaven,
02:07: Ephesians 4, verses 8 -10. The judgment side of Sheol or Hades has remained unchanged.
02:13: All unbelieving dead go there awaiting their final judgment in the future. Did Jesus go to Sheol or Hades?
02:19: Yes, according to Ephesians 4, verses 8 -10 and 1 Peter 3, verses 18 -20.
02:24: Some of the confusion has arisen from such passages as Psalms 16 .10 -11, as translated in the
02:30: KJV, for thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption.
02:37: Thou wilt show me the place of life. Hell is not a correct translation in this verse.
02:42: A correct reading would be the grave or Sheol. Jesus said to the thief beside Him, Today you will be with me in Paradise in Luke 23, verse 43.
02:51: He did not say, I will see you in hell. Jesus' body was in the tomb, His soul or spirit went to be with the blessed in Sheol or Hades.
02:59: Unfortunately, in many versions of the Bible, translators are not consistent or correct in how they translate the
03:05: Hebrew and Greek words for Sheol, Hades, and hell. Some have the viewpoint that Jesus went to hell or the suffering side of Sheol or Hades in order to be further punished for our sin.
03:15: This idea is completely unbiblical. It was the death of Jesus on the cross that sufficiently provided for our redemption.
03:21: It was His shed blood that effected our own cleansing from sin. As He hung there on the cross,
03:27: He took the sin burden of the whole human race upon Himself. He became sin for us.
03:33: God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
03:40: 2 Corinthians 5, verse 21. This imputation of sin helps us understand
03:45: Christ's struggle in the Garden of Gethsemane with the cup of sin, which will be poured out upon Him on the cross.
03:51: As Jesus near death, He said, it is finished, in John 19, verse 30. His suffering in our place was completed.
03:58: His soul or spirit went to Hades, the place of the dead. Jesus did not go to hell or the suffering side of Hades.
04:04: He went to Abraham's side or the blessed side of Hades. Jesus' suffering ended the moment He died.
04:09: The payment for sin was paid. He then awaited the resurrection of His body and His return to glory in His ascension.
04:15: Did Jesus go to hell? No. Did Jesus go to Sheol or Hades? Yes. Hungry for more?
