That's always been a confusing couple of verses to me. Do you think Christ was preaching to the dead in order to give them a second chance at eternal life? These were disobedient contemporaries of Noah--who obviously perished in the flood.

My understanding was that Christ went to the righteous under the Law who died without His grace to preach to them concerning Himself and to then take them to the bosom of His father when they accepted his testimony.
