Our minds are stuck on this conveyor belt of time and we cannot escape it. All the confusion about what happens after you die stems from this (probably God imposed) limit on our imaginations.
When you die you leave this space/time continuum. We literally can’t imagine what happens then, thought the Bible gives us some hints. They are necessarily hints and parables because the Holy Spirit is trying to describe a 20 dimensional object to our minds that cannot handle anything more than three dimensions.
I see it as trying to describe the color magenta to a person who only sees in grayscale.
Which is why I think experientially and subjectively Christ might have spent some great amount of time preaching in Hell greater than the 3 temporal days and nights his body was dead in the tomb.
Steven died 2000 years ago and Ol’ Bubba Christian might have died yesterday but I could see a scenario where Bubba wakes up, sees Steven standing there, and Bubba striking up a conversation about what life was like 2000 years ago. Steven stands there astonished stating” 2000 years!? I just got here just a moment ago!”
God exists in the eternal now and Christ has gone to build a place for us. I think the Hell that existed before Christ’s visit upon the Earth may now be different place after he sojourned and preached there.
Revelation describes “death and Hell” themselves being thrown into the Lake of Fire...as though they were some dark negative entities or perhaps tesseract type pocket universes to be dissolved into quantum nothingness! Keeping in mind what Abraham stated about a ‘great gulf fixed” between Hell and “the bosom of Abraham”, the fact that this reality is someday to be thrown into the Lake of Fire kind of messes with ones mind in terms of the time, space and dimension of God’s vast creation!
