The Biblical hell according to Scripture is the common grave of dead mankind.>>>URAVIP2ME
Mankind in the flesh is one death.
The other death is spiritual separation.
All souls prior to Christ were held in a spiritual prison, for until Christ came, there was no redemption.
And that is the thought we want to address, the spiritual incarceration of the souls awaiting its deliverance.
God prepare one individual soul to be a ransom for many by sacrificing it to the death of eternal separation for the many.
Yet God did not leave His soul in that state ref:Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:
though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Jesus, being the curse of the whole world in one body, was willing to give up life for the world.
Mar 8:36 For what shall it profit a man,
if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Jesus was willing to loose His own soul for the world, that the world through Him might be saved.
Yet God, did not allow it to remain, for God forgave Jesus as Isa 1:18 states.
And because the Father favored Jesus, Jesus gained us to life by rendering Gods righteousness to the world.
When Jesus died, why didn't Jesus see Jesus as God?________
Even till the very last breath, Jesus did not see Himself as God for Jesus had not descended to the prison where there was no life; and even until the second day, did He see Himself as God, for there on the third day, Jesus received His kingdom as God.
Hos 6:2
After two days will he revive us: in
the third day he will raise us up, and
we shall live in his sight.
Psa 82:8
Arise, O God, judge the earth: for
thou shalt inherit all nations.
God as creator need not arise or even inherit, for all is His in the first place.
But Jesus did arise and He did inherit all nations as God.
Mar 12:36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord,
Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
According to Scripture Jesus did Not resurrect himself.
God resurrected the unconscious dead Jesus.
True to both!
Doesn't the heavenly resurrected Jesus according to Rev [2v18] still see himself as still the Son of God?_________
At Rev [3v12] doesn't Jesus still believe he has a God over him?________
You see, the book of Revelation is about the travail of Jesus in conquering the world for God, thus it is seen as completed upon the resurrection of Jesus when the 24 Elder cast their crowns to the feet of Jesus, as Jesus now reigns supreme.
Would like for you to take note of the following verses pertaining to a similitude of Jesus:
Job 1:1 There was a man (Jesus) in the land of Uz (world), whose name was Job (similitude of Jesus); and that man
was perfect and upright, and
one that feared God,
and eschewed evil.
Jesus is God, for God has delivered His creation back unto Himself in Jesus.
Blessings, AJ
Isa 42:19
Who is blind, but my servant? or
deaf, as
my messenger that I sent? who is
blind as he that is perfect, and
blind as the LORD'S servant?
Jesus as a man knew only that which the Father gave Him to know and understand, and to hear only what the Father said, thus Jesus was both deaf and blind for the purpose of completing His mission.
Had Jesus the whole knowledge of the Father, Jesus would have not asked, "Why has thou forsaken me and Father forgive them for they know not what they do" are not say, "you are of your Father the devil".
