Comma not misplaced; http://www.wcg.org/lit/prophecy/comma.htm is a good starting point. And since Eternity transcends space and time - Jesus’ whereabouts over 3 days? UNIMAGINABLE (though we are also taught he ‘Descended into Hell’ perhaps to bring news of the Great Salvation? Most people have a poor concept of Eternity since mathematics fails ordinary folk at or near infinity. Assuming it is at least a million years you are here on this planet for about .00008 of it. Love one another!

Descended into Hell

"Descended to the dead" or "to the place of the dead" might be a better translation of that. Sheol <> Hell

I remember a sermon once that tried to put eternity into some perspective. Imagine a steel ball the size of the Earth, and set one tiny ant walking on it. The time it takes for the footsteps of that ant to grind the steel ball into powder, is the beginning of the first second of eternity.

That's one reason I've never been able to accept the "sitting on a cloud" view of heaven. It seems more like this is boot camp, and heaven is when the real work, and the real rewards, begin.

But, that's just my interpretation.
