| Re: Heaven and Hell - Is This True?
2Cor.12:2-4 a man went to the third heaven - which is the throne room of God.
Also called Paradise,
Mt.12;40 as Jonah was 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of a sea monster, so will
the Son of Man be 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth.
Eph.4:9 He ascended what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower
parts of the earth?
Num.16:30,33; they descended alive into Sheol.
Sorry it wasn't the bowels of the earth, it was the heart of the earth, that's where Hades is.
Jesus went to Paradise in hades in heart of the earth, so did the thief on the cross.
Things changed when Jesus ascended, Eph.4:8; now the spirits of men
could enter heaven because they were made perfect by the blood of Christ.
So when we die we go to heaven today, then no righteous enter hades only the wicked.
Do you believe no one goes to heaven? Everyone sits in Abraham's bosom waiting for judgment
day then they go to heaven. But Rev.21:1; teaches new Jerusalem comes down from heaven,
to the new earth, so come judgment day we don't go to heaven but a new earth.
