Review
All human
beings are Tripartite
1
Thessalonians 5:23 spirit, soul and body
1
Corinthians 6:20 we are not bodies- we have
bodies. We are not spirits – we have
spirits. But all are human souls. That which is human is not
animal!
Matthew 10:28 killing the body does not kill the soul
Ezekiel 18:4 God says: “all souls are mine”
All are accountable to him
We concluded that physical death is
the separation
of the soul and spirit from the body
I Where do the spirit
and soul go at the time of death?
The place of departed spirits , in the
Old
Testament Hebrew word is “sheol”
The
New Testament Greek word for the same place is “hades”. Both are translated
‘hell’ in the KJV
All who died before Christ’s
resurrection went down into Sheol-Hades
II Jesus revealed some facts about this place
Luke
16:19-31 it
has two parts
Two men lived and
died. The beggar went to a place of
comfort to be with Abraham the man of faith
The rich man died and
lifted up his eyes in torments in hell
And Jesus said there was
a “great gulf” fixed between them
Matthew 16:18 Jesus said , this place had gates, not a
gate, indicating two places
No member of the Church
will ever go down to Hades!
Luke 23:39-43 Jesus told the believing
thief, “today you will be with me in paradise” that is, in comfort
III When Jesus died, He went down to paradise in the heart of the earth
Ephesians
4:8-9 before he ascended, he descended first
into the lower parts of the
earth.
Matthew 12:39-40 son
of man- three days and nights in the
heart of the earth
Psalm 16:9-10 is
the prophecy
Acts 2:22-31 the
Holy Spirit’s commentary on that Psalm
IV Old Testament Saints did not go to Heaven
Hebrews 10:4 animal sacrifices did not take away sins
1 Samuel 28:3,11 Samuel came up, he did not come down from
Heaven
Luke 9:30-31
Moses and Elijah talked to
Jesus about the death He would accomplish
V Christ by his resurrection moved paradise
from earth to the third Heaven
2
Corinthians 12:1-4
