Matt. 16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.The last part of this statement makes a lot more sense with understand what happened to the Saints prior to the Cross.
God Bless everyone if I don't post to you prior to Resurrection Sunday.

He went to Hell not as punishment but as a conquest of it. You could think of it as a victory lap.

I've always considered Tolkien's tale of Gandalf against the Balrog to be one of strong echoes of the Christian story. There is fearsome darkness and fire, but they cannot prevail against the light of the righteous in Christ:
'I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.'

He went to Detroit.

Seem to remember reading something like The Gospel of Barnabus (not the vampire) or such which related the journey of Jesus after death to Hell and back. Was not allowed into the New Testament.

Is that where this phrase came from ?
“Oh Jesus, you look like Hell”

Good article.
I read a book on the subject about a year ago along the same lines. It made alot of sense and opened my eyes to some of the misnomers about hades/shoul.

That’s pretty much what my (former) pastor said when we were going through Romans as well. Thanks for the sermon and God Bless! Happy Resurrection day!!

He went to Sheol and freed the righteous dead. He went to the furthest depths of it where the rebellious angels are chained in torment, which is called Tartarus in the Greek. That is Hell. So, yes.
