I Discern…

(NHH) [Revised 7/2020, 12/2020, 5/9/2024]
I discern that Heaven’s Second level is called Hades.
I discern that Hades had 2 parts, divided by a gulf.
(Paradise and hell/hades).
I discern that Paradise was also referred to as Abraham’s bosom.
I discern “Death and Hell” refers to Death and Hades, In different Bible Versions and Languages.
I discern that Hades refers to “Burial Place”, in Greek. It’s also known as Sheol in Hebrew.
I discern that before Christ’s crucifixion, Hades had two divisions. One was Paradise and the other was/is hell or Death’s house. Paradise was/is for the saved and Death’s house is for the lost. I also discern that they could not visit each other’s sides. I discern that the Paradise side would not be cast into “The Lake of Fire”, because it held the saved/redeemed souls. But the hell side will be cast into “The Lake of Fire”.
After Christ’s crucifixion, I discern that Christ relocated Paradise from Hades to the Highest level of Heaven. Thus moving The Saints closer to Him at the right hand of Father-God’s throne and leaving hell to expand in space for the lost.
I discern that Hades is the PENDING FIRST Death place.
I discern that Jesus possesses the keys of Hades-Death’s House or Burial Place and Death.
I discern that “The Lake Of Fire” refers to eternal Hell and PERMANENT Death. (This will be after Jesus’ Judgement and God’s Wrath have been unloaded and settled.)
I discern that in the end of this world, “Death and Hell” being thrown into “The Lake of Fire” is referring to Death and death’s House or Burial Place, which WILL BECOME eternal Hell. I further discern that this refers to the SECOND Death.
I discern that both the PENDING and PERMANENT places of Death possess burning fire and torment for the Unjust and Unrighteous.
I discern that “Saints” is defined as, believers of Christ.
I discern that Christ gave up His spirit to God, upon His death as God sustained and resurrected Him.
I discern that while Jesus was in Hades and He preached to save spirits who had died before His crucifixion. Christ also took the “Captives” with Him to the Highest Heaven.
I discern that after Jesus’ resurrection, that many bodies of The Old Testament Saints were also resurrected. I discern that they were as proof of God’s power and truth to non believers and confirmation to other Saints. (Living Bible witnesses of The Gospel testified of this.)
This may be a pre-rapture (caught up to be with Jesus), since they had died before Jesus was resurrected. The Bible doesn’t use the terms rapture(s) or pre-rapture.
