OK, of those whom He brought to Heaven with Him at His appearance after His resurrection as High Priest (Eph. 4:8-9, Jn. 20:16-17),

WHAT???

When He led captivity captive, He brought Paradise and the just souls who had been imprisoned in it with Him. By offering His Incorruptible Blood as the acceptable redemption and reconciliation price upon the True Mercy Seat in The Holiest Of All in The Heaven, He completed the redemption transaction and obtained admission of those saved souls.

Now, at death, one's soul enters either entrance into The Father's Presence, or one's soul goes to Sheol/Hell to await judgment and the Lake of Fire later. There is no Purgatory as such. In either case, one's current body goes into what is euphemistically called 'the grave.'

There is no further price to be paid than was incurred at the Cross. The only ticket in is ones committed irrevocable trust in The Faith of The Christ -- although one's works will be evaluated at the Judgment Seat of The Christ.

I do not know exactly what your question is. Care to share, Elsie? Answer would be much later, on this day.

Sorry; the text does NOT say at all where they were LED.
