3:19 By which Spirit he preached - Through the ministry of Noah. To the spirits in prison - The unholy men before the flood, who were then reserved by the justice of God, as in a prison, till he executed the sentence upon them all; and are now also reserved to the judgment of the great day.
1Pe 3:19,20 By which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison. The facts stated are (1) That Christ, put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, went and preached. (2) This preaching of Christ in the spirit was to spirits. (3) Those spirits were in prison. The Greek word, "phulake", used for "prison", denotes a place of custody, not a place of punishment. These spirits (4) "at one time were disobedient". This states why they were held in prison. (5) The time of their disobedience is stated. It was while the "longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah".
Had christ not died and resurrected, they would remain there in limbo forever.
Abraham's bossom was next door to hell in the heart of the earth, with a huge space, (chasm) separating them.
I believe jesus stood or floated between them and preached the gospel while both sides listened.
The people in hell I don't believe repented. The bible says in revelation that they still cursed God...
Those in abraham's bossom were set free and now are with the Lord in heaven.
Anyone killed for the word of God and for jesus christ, are the souls under the altar in heaven. Rev.
The dead in christ resurrect just before the rapture. And people say the rapture happens before the tribulation.
If that were true, the resurrection of dead in christ would happen first, followed by a rapture.
But that's impossible. because a resurrection happens before the rapture.
When does the bible tell us that the first resurrection happens???
Revelation 20:1-6 says the first resurrection is after the tribulation after the beheadings.
So if nobody is resurrected until after the tribulation, how can a resurrection and rapture happen before the tribulation?? It cant!!
Therefore After the tribulation, Jesus appears in the clouds and the dead in christ rise. Everyone from Adam all the way to the believers from the tribulation.
Then those who are alive and remained from the tribulation, will be caught up and changed together with those who resurrected.
They all meet jesus in air and float to mount of olives. The tribes mourn because they see Jesus descending from the air with ten thousands of his saints. Then the thrones are set up and we rule and reign with Christ for a thousand years.
Hebrews 1:8 says that only jesus is called a son of God. So the Angel's are not sons.
I understand that job calls someone sons of God but its not fallen Angel's.
May God bless all who read this.
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. what was Jesus doing there? preaching the gospel
