00:00:00.441 --> 00:00:07.233
Welcome to the Restless Theologian podcast, where we focus on having insightful conversations in biblical history and theology.
00:00:07.233 --> 00:00:21.303
I'm your host, Zechariah Eshack, for our fifth episode of season three.
00:00:21.303 --> 00:00:24.888
We are going to be discussing a line that's in the Apostles' Creed.
00:00:24.888 --> 00:00:27.931
He was crucified, died and was buried.
00:00:27.931 --> 00:00:30.835
He descended into hell On the third day.
00:00:30.835 --> 00:00:32.182
He rose again from the dead.
00:00:32.182 --> 00:00:40.911
We're going to be exploring what happened exactly after Christ died and what was going on between Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
00:00:40.911 --> 00:00:48.021
And in order to unpack this topic with me, I have my wife on today to kind of go through this.
00:00:48.021 --> 00:00:49.304
How you doing, Kathryn,
00:00:49.987 --> 00:00:50.307
Good.
00:00:50.307 --> 00:00:51.451
How are you
00:00:51.490 --> 00:00:51.771
Good
00:00:52.454 --> 00:00:53.095
It's been a while.
00:00:53.396 --> 00:00:56.487
Yeah, it has been a while I haven't had you on yet this season.
00:00:56.707 --> 00:00:58.872
No, yeah, we've been pretty busy.
00:00:58.872 --> 00:01:02.164
Yeah, just wedding plans and all that.
00:01:02.164 --> 00:01:03.686
But yeah, it's good to be back.
00:01:04.128 --> 00:01:05.430
Yeah, glad to have you back.
00:01:05.430 --> 00:01:07.573
I always enjoy our conversations together.
00:01:08.055 --> 00:01:08.334
Me too.
00:01:08.659 --> 00:01:12.090
What we're going to look at today just to kind of cover a little bit of ground.
00:01:12.090 --> 00:01:20.007
We're going to be looking at what the Bible says about the descent, what the church fathers and what some of the reformers' views.
00:01:20.007 --> 00:01:27.987
We're going to briefly touch on that and then we're going to look at the theories about the atonement that are kind of connected to the descent of Christ.
00:01:27.987 --> 00:01:41.272
So there's actually three different main ideas and there's a little bit of sub-level ideas surrounding where Jesus went and what he did after he died.
00:01:41.272 --> 00:01:47.861
Now the three different main views from a high level are going to be the paradise.
00:01:47.861 --> 00:01:49.546
Only that Jesus.
00:01:49.546 --> 00:01:51.269
He went to heaven.
00:01:51.269 --> 00:02:00.858
That's where his soul, that's where his spirit was taken, and so Jesus went immediately to paradise with the thief on the cross.
00:02:00.858 --> 00:02:16.021
Because, as we know in Luke 23, 43, the thief on the cross does ask Christ to remember him and his kingdom and Jesus responds with you know, today, you will be with me in paradise.
00:02:16.643 --> 00:02:24.930
The second view is that when Christ died, he went to Abraham's bosom, which is the realm of the righteous dead, which is a part of Hades.
00:02:24.930 --> 00:02:33.622
So Jesus descended to the righteous and Hades.
00:02:33.622 -->
Load full transcript
00:02:39.841
Now, hades is a Greek term and it means like the realm of the dead, and it is pretty much the equivalent of what the Hebrews use, the term for Sheol.
00:02:39.841 --> 00:02:44.288
So Sheol and Hades for the most part seem pretty interchangeable.
00:02:44.288 --> 00:02:47.895
It's just obviously Hades is a Greek term.
00:02:47.895 --> 00:03:11.241
So in this understanding that Abraham's bosom, there's also this idea that Hades itself has two sections, one for the righteous and one for the wicked and one for the wicked.
00:03:11.241 --> 00:03:20.105
And this view also connects with Matthew, chapter 27, verses 52 to 53, which describes saints rising and appearing to many after Christ's resurrection, which is potentially a sign of their liberation and glorification.
00:03:21.989 --> 00:03:36.465
And the other view, the third and last view, is going to be that jesus, when he descended, he descended to tartarus and what he was doing there was proclaiming judgment over rebellious angels from noah's day.
00:03:36.465 --> 00:03:49.593
And this is kind of discussed or kind of like the term for it would be christus victor and it has a lot to do with Christ triumphing over evil and demonic powers.
00:03:49.593 --> 00:03:54.330
So, after going through all that, we're going to unpack it.
00:03:54.330 --> 00:03:57.439
And where would you like to start with, Kathryn?
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:07.144
Do you want to go over the key scripture passages or you want to go immediately to the understandings of what those three terms mean hades, gehenna and tartarus?
00:04:08.586 --> 00:04:10.150
um either way you want to?
00:04:10.409 --> 00:04:11.491
okay, let's start there.
00:04:11.491 --> 00:04:13.903
Yeah, and then maybe we'll work our way back.
00:04:13.924 --> 00:04:27.754
Yeah, I will say like just going back to when you're talking about the creed and just I, it is uh pretty amazing how, like up, we would say the creed all the time.
00:04:27.754 --> 00:04:32.651
Like I grew up Catholic, so we would say the creed at every mass.
00:04:32.651 --> 00:04:47.187
And you know, even when I was younger and that would come up where he descended into hell, I did not know what that meant, like, and I you know it wasn't until I got older and became an adult and started kind of looking more into it, like what does that mean exactly?
00:04:47.187 --> 00:04:55.033
But it is interesting to go through these different views that we kind of were talking about last night.
00:04:55.033 --> 00:05:00.793
So yeah, we can always start with, like, the scripture readings if you want.
00:05:01.100 --> 00:05:03.788
Okay, we'll start there then Okay, we'll start there then Okay, okay.
00:05:03.788 --> 00:05:10.206
So if you wouldn't mind reading for me 1 Peter 3, verses 18 through 20.
00:05:10.226 --> 00:05:30.850
Okay, For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison because they formerly did not obey.
00:05:30.850 --> 00:05:48.444
When God's patience waited, in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons were brought safely through water, and then can you also read for us Ephesians 4, and this is going to be verses 8 through 10.
00:05:48.463 --> 00:05:49.004
Okay, great.
00:05:49.824 --> 00:05:50.185
Thank you.
00:06:15.221 --> 00:06:31.961
So, in Ephesians 4, from what I looked up for the Greek term, which I'm not even going to try to pronounce, but it literally translates that he led captivity, captive, and what this is is a poetic idiom and it emphasizes complete victory.
00:06:31.961 --> 00:06:38.293
So essentially, what it's saying is Christ himself captures the captors.
00:06:38.293 --> 00:06:56.127
Now, what is meant by the captors could be the death, demons or spiritual powers, and we're going to take a closer look at that view because that matches, um, like I said, the third concept of where christ went when he died, and that would have been tartarus.
00:06:56.127 --> 00:07:06.973
So, and this is acts, chapter 2, verses 27, it says for you will not abandon my soul to Hades or let your Holy one see corruption.
00:07:06.973 --> 00:07:11.127
Now, this is this hearkens back to David.
00:07:11.127 --> 00:07:24.567
In the Psalms, david is the original speaker, and then, in this context, in Acts, peter is the one who is basically rephrasing it, not rephrasing it, but I should say say, um, hearkening back to it.
00:07:24.567 --> 00:07:31.911
So when he says for you will not abandon my soul or let your holy one see corruption, so whose soul?
00:07:31.911 --> 00:07:33.060
And who's the holy one?
00:07:33.060 --> 00:07:41.423
It would be, from my understanding, it's christ in his soul and he is the holy one being described that's not going to see corruption.
00:07:42.326 --> 00:07:46.012
And and then in Acts, same chapter, but verse 31,.
00:07:46.012 --> 00:07:54.630
It says he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.
00:07:54.630 --> 00:08:05.130
So the reason why I brought this up was because I wanted to just kind of think about what has meant that Christ was not abandoned to Hades.
00:08:05.130 --> 00:08:08.584
There's a couple of different ways we can look at this.
00:08:08.584 --> 00:08:19.641
I think is that maybe Christ did descend into Hades, meaning the realm of the dead, and we'll kind of unpack what that means a little bit in a little bit.
00:08:19.641 --> 00:08:25.754
So it could mean that he went there, but he wasn't abandoned there, he didn't remain there.
00:08:25.754 --> 00:08:29.951
Or it could potentially mean that he never went there.
00:08:29.951 --> 00:08:33.346
You know, he was not abandoned to Hades, he did not have to go there.
00:08:33.346 --> 00:08:41.697
This would closely align with the I
believe it was the first view that we had brought up that he entered into paradise only.
00:08:42.179 --> 00:08:42.299
Yeah.
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:43.846
So he would not have gone to Hades.
00:08:44.701 --> 00:08:48.769
I'm guessing that would be more of like the reformed view, correct?
00:08:49.149 --> 00:08:49.630
That's correct.
00:08:49.772 --> 00:08:59.544
If um cause I know we're going to talk about a little bit later, cause that makes sense when they um, since they believe it to be like the suffering of Christ on the cross.
00:08:59.544 --> 00:09:05.514
Correct, yeah, After you know his last breath on the cross, he would have gone straight to heaven.
00:09:05.975 --> 00:09:06.216
Yeah.
00:09:06.216 --> 00:09:36.828
So when it talks about, for example, the Heidelberg Catechism briefly brings up in one of its answers that what is meant by in the Apostles Creed that he descended into hell, was that it's basically meaning the torment of his, meaning the torment of of his, basically the torment that he went through with his um crucifixion and the pain and anguish that he went through, so basically going to the depths of depths of hell, essentially in his body.
00:09:36.828 --> 00:09:39.355
And this goes right into what we were talking about.
00:09:39.355 --> 00:09:48.682
Next verse was um Luke 23, 43, when Jesus responds to the thief on the cross truly, I say to you today you will be with me in paradise.
00:09:48.682 --> 00:09:58.089
And then one last biblical passage we want to bring up is Revelation, chapter 1, 17 through 18.
00:09:58.089 --> 00:10:09.725
And it says when I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead, but he, meaning Christ, laid his right hand on me saying fear not, I am the first and the.
00:10:09.806 --> 00:10:29.924
So there's a distinction that is clearly being made between death and Hades, distinction that is clearly being made between death and Hades, and one is representing that Jesus has.
00:10:29.924 --> 00:10:32.890
Well, jesus has authority over both death and Hades.
00:10:32.890 --> 00:10:38.267
So he has authority over the state of death and over the realm of the dead.
00:10:38.267 --> 00:10:42.543
So Hades is basically the intermediate realm of the dead.
00:10:42.543 --> 00:10:52.761
Obviously, as I mentioned before, that's equivalent to Sheol and the Hebrew concept, and it is a temporary place and it's not necessarily a place of torment.
00:10:52.761 --> 00:11:00.985
So it's not a place of punishment or anything like that, it's just a holding place for the dead before the final judgment.
00:11:00.985 --> 00:11:07.721
So it's also associated with the grave or the underworld and not to be confused with the final judgment.
00:11:07.721 --> 00:11:24.643
And so this is where I wanted to kind of dive into subcategories under Hades, so one of them being that it's believed that Abraham's bosom is a part of Hades and it's a place of comfort and not punishment.
00:11:24.643 --> 00:11:31.312
And I've heard some people say that it is heaven, which I could see that being a plausible argument.
00:11:31.312 --> 00:11:33.195
Have you ever heard that, mm-mm?
00:11:33.654 --> 00:11:33.855
Yeah.
00:11:35.201 --> 00:11:42.394
No, that when someone's taken up to Abraham's side or Abraham's bosom, it is meaning that they're being taken up to heaven.
00:11:42.394 --> 00:11:43.134
Okay.
00:11:44.221 --> 00:11:46.568
Another category would be Tartarus.
00:11:46.568 --> 00:12:01.633
Now, Tartarus, from my understanding, is that it's actually a level in Hades, but the lowest level, Tartarus, is mentioned only in one place in the New Testament, which is 2 Peter 2, verses 4.
00:12:01.633 --> 00:12:04.826
Now, Tartarus is kind of a unique term.
00:12:04.826 --> 00:12:11.870
It's a Greek term and it's where God holds the rebellious angels in chains until judgment day.
00:12:11.870 --> 00:12:28.033
And it's not to be confused with just Hades in general, because from what I've looked up, it does sound like it's maybe a level in Hades, but it's also not to be confused with hell, which is Gehenna.
00:12:28.033 --> 00:12:33.886
So, and there's a couple passages that you know, if you wouldn't mind reading them for me both.
00:12:33.886 --> 00:12:38.471
Second, let's start with second Peter, chapter two, verses four.
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:49.009
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment?
00:12:50.192 --> 00:12:51.886
Okay, and what translation do you have up?
00:12:52.460 --> 00:12:53.731
That's ESV.
00:12:54.176 --> 00:12:54.398
ESV.
00:12:54.398 --> 00:12:56.847
Yeah, esv is a common one I use too.
00:12:56.847 --> 00:13:08.326
So I'm glad you read from the ESV, because the translation I put in my notes are from the Lexham English Bible, because the translation I put in my notes are from the Lexham English Bible and I guess the actual Greek term is.
00:13:08.326 --> 00:13:21.268
So I'll just read you what the Lexham version says For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but held them captive in Tartarus with chains of darkness and handed them over to be kept for judgment and your version says hell.
00:13:21.268 --> 00:13:34.331
I browsed through a lot of different English translations and the majority of them do say hell, but when I looked it up, the more accurate translation is Tartarus and it probably shouldn't have been translated to be hell.
00:13:34.331 --> 00:13:37.863
Um, which is kind of interesting because you kind of noticed.
00:13:37.863 --> 00:13:40.453
Have you noticed that the same thing happens with Hades?
00:13:40.453 --> 00:13:41.177
Yeah.
00:13:41.337 --> 00:13:44.687
Sometimes it's it's hell and Hades are used interchangeably.
00:13:44.687 --> 00:13:45.068
Yeah.
00:13:45.068 --> 00:13:56.873
And I think from I don't know from my train of thought, like I found that really confusing, especially growing up, because I thought they were the same thing, but
it sounds like Hades and hell are not.
00:13:57.139 --> 00:13:58.683
Yeah, well, it makes sense.
00:13:58.683 --> 00:14:02.884
In regards to being in the apostles creed then too, like what did they really mean by hell?
00:14:03.066 --> 00:14:10.850
You know, yeah, so yeah, and then um, um, can you read the book of jude, chapter one, verse six, for me yes, and I'll read the.
00:14:11.251 --> 00:14:13.202
Do you want me to read the lexham sure version?
00:14:13.202 --> 00:14:13.844
Okay, I'm sorry.
00:14:13.844 --> 00:14:25.533
Um, in the angels who did not keep to their own domain but deserted their proper dwelling place, he has kept in eternal bonds under deep gloom for the judgment of the great day.
00:14:26.640 --> 00:14:34.625
Okay, next we'll jump to Gehenna and then, after we kind of talk about Gehenna, then we're going to kind of unpack these passages.
00:14:34.625 --> 00:14:38.734
So Gehenna the word basically is the.
00:14:38.734 --> 00:14:55.815
It's the final punishment place for the wicked and it is rooted in the Valley of Hinnom, which is a real location outside of Jerusalem, which was associated with idolatry and basically burning trash.
00:14:55.815 --> 00:15:03.669
So Gehenna symbolizes God's final judgment and it is the equivalent of hell.
00:15:03.669 --> 00:15:12.729
For what I would guess is that anytime the word Gehenna is used it's going to be translated hell into English, because I believe there are one and the same.
00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:21.087
But I think the issue is with some of the New Testament translations both Tartarus and Hades are also translated hell.
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:41.667
So it kind of gives us a little bit more of a misunderstood view of a lot of other topics, I think, because I see how it kind of blurred my view in some of these different passages, because if it's not really hell, then that kind of changes the overall meaning of the text, right?
00:15:41.667 --> 00:15:51.102
So, going back to 2 Peter, 2, verse 4, about that, god did not spare the angels who sinned.
00:15:51.102 --> 00:15:54.110
This is supposedly believed to be.
00:15:54.110 --> 00:16:11.897
The angels who sinned are the fallen angels that are referenced in Genesis 6, the ones that basically intermingled with human women, and then, obviously, in Jude 1, 6, the angels that did not keep their own domain but desired their own proper dwelling place.
00:16:11.897 --> 00:16:15.129
God kept them in eternal bonds.
00:16:15.129 --> 00:16:24.270
So there's this idea that they've been put into Tartarus, which is a place that's like the lowest abyss of Hades, and that they're kept in chains there.
00:16:24.270 --> 00:16:25.538
Right, is that what you are're kept in chains there?
00:16:25.538 --> 00:16:25.659
Right?
00:16:25.659 --> 00:16:27.948
Is that what you are taking from it?
00:16:27.948 --> 00:16:29.033
Yeah, okay.
00:16:30.318 --> 00:16:31.666
Yeah, it almost makes me wonder.
00:16:31.666 --> 00:16:37.823
So the judgment day, so do you?
00:16:37.823 --> 00:16:42.071
Do you think that would be when he descended into hell?
00:16:42.071 --> 00:16:51.268
That was their judgment day, or is it still going to be later on?
00:16:51.268 --> 00:16:53.038
For that judgment day.
00:16:53.038 --> 00:16:56.840
Because even if he here's, just what I'm thinking.
00:16:57.062 --> 00:16:58.000
Here's just what I'm thinking right now.
00:16:58.000 --> 00:16:59.065
I just thought of this right now.
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:08.154
So say he descended to Hades and Tartarus, is that how you say it, tartarus?
00:17:08.299 --> 00:17:13.645
Well, yeah, it would make sense that if he descended into Hades and Tartarus, Is a part of Hades.
00:17:13.645 --> 00:17:20.594
It is essentially or I should say potentially a part of Hades, but the lowest part yeah.
00:17:20.594 --> 00:17:22.667
And not the same as Abraham's bosom.
00:17:22.667 --> 00:17:26.469
So I mean, but obviously it's the same place.
00:17:27.180 --> 00:17:41.232
It makes me think that Jesus descended there to proclaim the good news, proclaim his gospel liberating the souls in Hades that are in Abraham's bosom.
00:17:41.232 --> 00:17:53.731
So all those, uh, the um people of the old Testament who are in Abraham's bosom, but then also declaring judgment on the angels and Tartarus.
00:17:53.731 --> 00:17:59.869
But yeah, it is really interesting to think about those two ideas possibly being together.
00:18:00.612 --> 00:18:05.432
Yeah, cause I didn't think that they were um, I didn't think that they were mutually exclusive.
00:18:05.432 --> 00:18:06.619
You know, I didn't think that they were mutually exclusive.
00:18:06.619 --> 00:18:26.403
I didn't think that the idea that he went and descended into Abraham's bosom, a part of Hades, and I think that this kind of closely is kind of tied with let me see if I can find it in my notes closely is kind of tied with, um, let me see if I can find it in my notes.
00:18:26.403 --> 00:18:32.069
Um, yeah, matthew, chapter 27, verses uh, 52, 52 versus 53.
00:18:32.069 --> 00:18:34.333
Let me get that, see if I can get that pulled up.
00:18:34.333 --> 00:18:45.191
It says the tombs also were opened and many bodies of the saints who had had fallen asleep were raised and coming out of the tombs.
00:18:45.191 --> 00:18:49.005
After his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
00:18:49.005 --> 00:19:02.497
Now I feel like anytime that that's read in a lot of churches or just I feel like it's glossed over, um, because to me that sounds like a resurrection, right, like it's glossed over because to me that sounds like a resurrection, right?
00:19:02.517 --> 00:19:09.200
Yeah, so they're coming out of their tombs at the same time he is coming out of his tomb, or shortly thereafter.
00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:13.461
Is it or I thought it was when the curtain of the temple is torn in two.
00:19:13.461 --> 00:19:17.384
So wouldn't that be right after his crucifixion, right after he died?
00:19:17.544
--> 00:19:22.027
That's what I thought, but in verse 53, it says and coming out of the tombs.
00:19:22.027 --> 00:19:26.689
After his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
00:19:27.009 --> 00:19:28.549
Oh yeah, I didn't catch that.
00:19:28.549 --> 00:19:35.452
Yeah, so there's this idea, so he went to liberate those souls like he went to deliver them out.
00:19:35.452 --> 00:19:42.439
Yeah, I guess the question would be because so Hades is a?
00:19:42.459 --> 00:19:43.602
place for the soul, right, and not the body, correct.
00:19:43.602 --> 00:19:54.597
So if people are coming out of the grave and it does use the term body, which I found like an interesting, you know note, because, let's see, it says and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
00:19:54.597 --> 00:20:02.095
So they're raised, there's a resurrection, and I feel like that's not something that's ever really brought up.
00:20:02.095 --> 00:20:03.377
I never hear anyone talk about it.
00:20:04.441 --> 00:20:06.566
And so I thought that that was interesting.
00:20:06.566 --> 00:20:09.580
So what this could be is maybe a first resurrection.
00:20:09.580 --> 00:20:29.282
I think could be correlated to the book of Revelation where you know how there's like 12,000, or is it 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel that are saved, so that would be the 144,000.
00:20:29.282 --> 00:20:40.204
So I think when we read the book of Revelation it's often those people who are premillennialists will see everything that happens in Revelation being in the future.
00:20:40.204 --> 00:20:42.766
But obviously, as we talked about last, night.
00:20:42.786 --> 00:20:49.026
So you think possibly the 144,000 are the people of the Old Testament that were resurrected when Christ was resurrected.
00:20:49.026 --> 00:20:51.140
Yes, that's interesting yeah, yeah.
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:54.415
I've never heard anyone bring that up and maybe I'm grasping at straws here.
00:20:54.616 --> 00:20:55.397
Wow.
00:20:55.397 --> 00:20:58.522
But isn't that kind of an interesting thought though.
00:20:58.702 --> 00:21:03.069
I mean I just don't understand how else we can explain this passage.
00:21:03.069 --> 00:21:08.768
I mean it doesn't use the term 144,000, but it does talk about in the book of Revelation.
00:21:08.768 --> 00:21:29.968
Because if we look at the language which John uses in Revelation, some of the stuff I think could have already come to pass, some of the stuff is going to happen soon because he uses the term these things will soon take place.
00:21:29.968 --> 00:21:49.500
So maybe not like, let's go to to, uh, you brought it up before but um, the dragon, uh, waging war on the woman, and the woman actually is supposed to represent Israel.
00:21:49.540 --> 00:22:04.569
Now I think that who's to say that the, the waging of war on the woman, didn't happen right away, which was the um, which was the persecution and execution of the saints in the early days of
the church.
00:22:04.569 --> 00:22:08.684
So you know, like the timeline's important here.
00:22:08.684 --> 00:22:21.416
So I don't want to get too sloppy with the timeline, but it is a potential that I could see Because, like I said, I think that not everything that John talks about is necessarily always in the future.
00:22:21.416 --> 00:22:26.255
It could maybe be a little bit, you know, past, present and future maybe.
00:22:26.556 --> 00:22:26.756
Mm-hmm.
00:22:27.900 --> 00:22:37.198
Okay, so moving on from that, yeah, so what you had talked about earlier and I'm trying to think of what it was, it sounded similar to what.
00:22:37.198 --> 00:22:46.079
When you quoted 1 Peter 3, verses 18 through 20, it made me think of that passage and I'll just repeat it here again.
00:22:46.079 --> 00:23:12.026
It says in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison because they formally did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is eight, persons were brought safely through the water.
00:23:12.026 --> 00:23:29.582
So I want to kind of fixate a little bit here on and proclaim to the spirits in prison because you had made a comment about when Christ goes to Hades that he's either preaching the gospel, which that's a view that's held, or it's proclamation.
00:23:29.582 --> 00:23:38.538
So it's not necessarily preaching the gospel like trying to convince them, but it's maybe like a declaration statement.
00:23:38.538 --> 00:23:38.838
Yeah.
00:23:39.118 --> 00:23:39.819
Could you see that?
00:23:39.819 --> 00:23:40.240
Mm-hmm.
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:49.030
So it looks like the Greek word used for proclamation is chariso, which typically means to announce or to herald.
00:23:49.030 --> 00:23:56.623
It doesn't necessarily necessitate that it means to evangelize.
00:23:56.623 --> 00:23:57.925
So I guess, what are we to make of this?
00:23:57.925 --> 00:24:01.395
What kind of proclamation is he making?
00:24:01.395 --> 00:24:18.791
It could be a declaration of his victory, or it could be his declaration of victory to the righteous that are in Abraham's bosom, or it could also be a declaration or I'm sorry, a judgment being made on the wicked the wicked spirits.
00:24:22.723 --> 00:24:27.480
So what is your take on it All the?
00:24:27.500 --> 00:24:31.568
above, you know, could potentially be both.
00:24:31.568 --> 00:24:40.930
Yeah, he descended in the Hades and he proclaimed victory over the death and Satan and his enemies.
00:24:40.930 --> 00:25:03.619
And it also could be a proclamation of judgment to the fallen angels that are in Tartarus, because, as we know, the proclamation if we take the view that the proclamation is being made to the fallen angels, we know that that proclamation isn't the gospel being preached and trying to convince them to repent.
00:25:03.619 --> 00:25:27.275
Because not only the book of Enoch aside, that says there's no repentance for the fallen angels,
that God's not going to offer that to them, the New Testament, actually, you know, apocryphal books aside note that there's no salvation for the fallen angels yeah.
00:25:29.941 --> 00:25:43.575
It almost makes me wonder, and you can cut this part out if you want to Like.
00:25:43.575 --> 00:26:03.569
This is the start of the heavenly kingdom, with his resurrection and him bringing the saints to heaven with him, and then also declaring that those fallen angels be judged and sent to hell, so no longer being in that Tartarus state but being in hell, so no longer being in that Tartarus state, but being in hell.
00:26:03.569 --> 00:26:15.963
So he's establishing both heaven and hell when it comes to those who were on the earth at one point before his death and resurrection.
00:26:16.546 --> 00:26:17.387
Say that last part again.
00:26:19.076 --> 00:26:19.417
Obviously.
00:26:19.417 --> 00:26:20.923
I know he created heaven and earth.
00:26:20.923 --> 00:26:34.309
It's almost like he's establishing, he's starting to establish, the souls that are going to be in heaven with him when he's resurrected.
00:26:34.309 --> 00:26:48.150
Yeah, so those who are in Abraham's bosom from the Old Testament, so those who are in Abraham's bosom from the Old Testament, and then also declaring that the fallen angels shall be sent to hell and no longer in that Tartarus state.
00:26:51.175 --> 00:26:52.439
I don't know.
00:26:52.439 --> 00:26:53.079
Just a thought.
00:26:53.079 --> 00:27:00.002
Yeah, the timeline is a little tricky here because I could see that I could see that he's pronouncing judgment on them.
00:27:00.002 --> 00:27:09.419
Timeline's a little tricky here because I could see that I could see that he's pronouncing judgment on them and then so he's pronouncing judgment on them and then essentially is sending them to hell.
00:27:09.439 --> 00:27:13.266
I mean that also explains he has the keys to death and Hades.
00:27:13.266 --> 00:27:13.967
You know.
00:27:14.647 --> 00:27:21.287
Yeah, yeah, because if Tartarus is a part of Hades, obviously he has the key to that.
00:27:21.287 --> 00:27:34.383
Yeah, so it could be him potentially unlocking it and sending them to where their final destination would be.
00:27:34.383 --> 00:27:44.019
So Jude 1, verse 6, near the end of the passage, it says he has kept them in eternal bonds under deep gloom for the judgment of the great day.
00:27:44.019 --> 00:27:48.066
So that great day could be the final judgment.
00:27:48.066 --> 00:27:52.758
So I think more.
00:27:52.758 --> 00:28:19.463
I would think that they could be judged along with humanity on the last day, or they could be judged right away when he you know, if he descends into Hades, because obviously there's some something happening here right, like people are rising out of their graves and so so they're no longer held in that state.
00:28:19.463 --> 00:28:32.704
So they're no longer held in that state, and I'd be really curious to know if all of Hades is under
the rule or dominion of the devil or if it's just the part of, maybe, tartarus.
00:28:32.704 --> 00:28:33.767
I don't know.
00:28:34.769 --> 00:28:38.844
Maybe, maybe it was until Christ died.
00:28:38.864 --> 00:28:40.086
That's what I mean, yeah.
00:28:40.255 --> 00:29:23.714
And then he claimed victory, yeah yeah I can see how in first peter too, like we didn't really talk about this too much, but the um parallel this is what we heard last night when we watched that video when and saint aug Augustine and St Thomas Aquinas agree with this, but like the parallel between like the flood and Noah's family being rescued on the ark and being saved and that correlation with our baptism, just about how we're united with Christ's death and his resurrection, I can see why that thought is also Advocated for how we're united with Christ's death and his resurrection.
00:29:24.098 --> 00:29:25.454
I can see why that thought is also Advocated for yeah.
00:29:26.556 --> 00:29:39.601
Well, yeah, there are kind of some correlations being made there, because I believe it's the Olivet Discourse Jesus is mentioning, you know, so as in the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man.
00:29:39.601 --> 00:29:49.567
So I mean you have that being stated, and then also too, in Matthew chapter 16, because I think the Olivet Discourse is Matthew 18.
00:29:49.567 --> 00:29:58.157
Matthew, chapter 16, when Jesus is speaking to you know he's talking to the disciples, and then Peter obviously is the one who answers.
00:29:58.157 --> 00:30:00.781
First, about who do people say that I am?
00:30:00.781 --> 00:30:04.667
Peter responds with you know, you are the Christ, the son of the living God.
00:30:05.349 --> 00:30:11.759
And then Jesus makes this statement you know, blessed are you, simon Barjona, for flesh and blood hasn't revealed this to you, but my father in heaven.
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:19.000
And then you know he makes a note that the gates of Hades will not conquer the church.
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:36.465
You know, as me and Corey kind of discussed in another, one of our episodes is that the Gentile world at that time they believed where Christ was at, like the Mount Hermon area, that they believed that that was a gateway to the underworld.
00:30:36.465 --> 00:30:40.204
So it's kind of interesting to see all the correlations there.
00:30:40.204 --> 00:30:41.031
Yeah, to the underworld.
00:30:40.911 --> 00:31:03.823
So it's kind of interesting to see all the correlations there, there's not a lot of unity of thought as into what's the correct view if that makes sense where I feel like a lot of different theologians throughout history, whether it's early church fathers or reformers, seem to be a little bit more I don't want to say all over the place, but a little bit more of like have their own interpretations of this, yeah, like this could be a possibility of what it means.
00:31:04.505 --> 00:31:09.887
Yeah, so Irenaeus thought that when Jesus died that he preached to the righteous dead.
00:31:09.887 --> 00:31:15.186
Tertullian also affirmed this that there's a literal descent into hell.
00:31:15.186 --> 00:31:28.010
His descent into hell, like his death, burial, burial resurrection, and his descent into hell or Hades, like those views are all kind of connected to the doctrine of the atonement.
00:31:28.010 --> 00:31:34.327
Now, we're not going to go too deep down that path of the atonement, but I figured we would briefly touch on it here.
00:31:34.327 --> 00:31:40.386
But it is connected, right, Because it's like what was the purpose of what he was doing when he died?
00:31:40.386 --> 00:31:46.787
Is it connected to his atoning work on the cross, or like, or his mission for why he came?
00:31:46.787 --> 00:31:47.709
Yeah right.
00:31:48.976 --> 00:31:52.759
So origin, for example, he believed into accepting Jesus as a ransom.
00:31:52.759 --> 00:32:11.088
And then Gregory of Nysa he expanded upon Origen's view that Christ basically tricked Satan.
00:32:11.088 --> 00:32:15.080
And that's the thing it's like.
00:32:15.080 --> 00:32:16.855
How did he trick Satan?
00:32:16.855 --> 00:32:21.146
Do you think that the devil knew that Jesus was divine?
00:32:21.146 --> 00:32:25.487
Or do you think that he just thought that God became incarnate?
00:32:25.487 --> 00:32:31.459
And because there's a whole concept that he emptied himself, right, the concept of kenosis?
00:32:31.459 --> 00:32:33.645
Like he was made lower than the angels.
00:32:33.645 --> 00:32:34.858
Jesus emptied himself.
00:32:35.662 --> 00:32:47.550
Yeah, I mean, maybe in a way I mean I don't necessarily agree with that like how he tricked Satan, but maybe in a way Satan did think that he could like defeat Jesus.
00:32:47.550 --> 00:32:54.940
You know, maybe that was his like thought of him being here on earth, like, oh, he's weakened, I'm going to get him, you know.
00:32:55.280 --> 00:32:55.521
Yeah.
00:32:56.895 --> 00:33:02.906
But yeah, I don't know, like did he know that he was divine, even though he lowered himself?
00:33:02.906 --> 00:33:05.563
Maybe he thought he didn't bring his divinity with him?
00:33:05.563 --> 00:33:06.105
I don't know.
00:33:06.695 --> 00:33:11.480
Yeah, like there's a lot of from my end.
00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:23.775
There's a lot of interesting little pieces, parts to when Christ and his ministry is going around, pieces parts to when Christ and his ministry is going around.
00:33:24.316 --> 00:33:33.084
Like the demons recognize them, right, because you know, like the Gadarene demoniac basically says what do we have to do with you, jesus, son of God?
00:33:33.084 --> 00:33:35.603
Have you come to torment us before the time?
00:33:35.603 --> 00:33:45.079
And so it's like they recognized him as the son of God, right, and so it's like they they recognized him as the son of god, right?
00:33:45.079 --> 00:34:05.775
And but like there does seem to be some mystery um around why christ did some of the things that
he did when it came to he would warn the demons, basically, to not declare who he was yeah and then he would even warn people, he would heal, and then he would make a statement of like you know, don't tell people who I am, unless something worse will fall upon you.
00:34:05.815 --> 00:34:07.903
You know, if you do something worse will fall upon you.
00:34:07.903 --> 00:34:08.324
Yeah.
00:34:08.324 --> 00:34:10.983
Like why the secret?
00:34:10.983 --> 00:34:11.724
You know what I mean.
00:34:12.556 --> 00:34:25.923
Well, and I think we're going to get into that later right, in regards to why he, what are the possibility or what are the reasons for why he did that, here's some possible reasons, given when I looked it up.
00:34:26.114 --> 00:34:30.085
So it could be a timing thing because his hour had not yet come.
00:34:30.085 --> 00:34:43.121
It could be to avoid any sort of confrontation with the authorities before he has to be betrayed in the garden of Gethsemane by Judas.
00:34:43.121 --> 00:34:46.688
You know, maybe it was a little bit of that Like it.
00:34:46.688 --> 00:34:55.262
It was to avoid having the, the, the Pharisees and Sadducees rise up against Jesus early and take it.
00:34:55.572 --> 00:35:39.639
Obviously, god has control over that stuff, yeah, but it is interesting to note that he is warning them not to declare who he was and the last possible reason why he did it could potentially be it's a strategic move on his part and he's trying to intentionally be deceptive, where he is concealing himself and his true identity from the devil, which would fall in, fall in that line of a little bit more of origin and um Gregory of Nyssa's viewpoint that the devil was tricked into accepting Christ and then, since Christ and his divinity, it's like he swallowed up death and death could not contain him.
00:35:40.260 --> 00:35:41.693
Yeah, I thought it was interesting.
00:35:41.693 --> 00:35:58.302
When I was looking into this part too, I looked I found a quote by Athanasius actually, and his what he said, and this is a quote Jesus silenced the demons because he did not wish that the truth should proceed from an unclean mouth.
00:35:58.302 --> 00:36:03.480
So that's kind of that was his thoughts on why he silenced the demons.
00:36:03.659 --> 00:36:10.318
OK, yeah, which could potentially be, but it also doesn't explain why he would tell people that he healed.
00:36:10.318 --> 00:36:12.242
To the Correct, yeah.
00:36:12.369 --> 00:36:16.338
Because he told people also not to.
00:36:16.338 --> 00:36:17.481
And it could be.
00:36:17.481 --> 00:36:29.070
He didn't want a big crowd around him at all times, following him and bringing attention to him, causing an uprise, because obviously that's not what he was intending.
00:36:29.070 --> 00:36:35.795
He wasn't to start a war, that type of war that a lot of them thought he was there to do.
00:36:36.416 --> 00:36:49.903
Oh yeah, there's times when Jesus disrupted the Pharisees and Sadducees so much
that they were trying to take hold of him, whether to try to stone him or throw him off a cliff, or whatever their intentions were.
00:36:49.903 --> 00:36:53.340
It sounded like that they were trying to capture him and he would escape.
00:36:53.539 --> 00:36:53.740
Yeah.
00:36:54.431 --> 00:36:58.840
So maybe it could have been trying to avoid those type of uh scenarios.
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:03.349
Um, so that's, that's the thing with the atonement.
00:37:03.349 --> 00:37:28.603
The atonement's very interesting because some of these atonement uh concepts that are kind of tied to, um, you know, like christus, victor, victor is the concept that obviously he had defeated over death, you know his cosmic triumph over the demonic powers, and that's kind of more closely associated with the proclamation to the fallen angels.
00:37:28.603 --> 00:37:34.641
I don't think it's exclusively so, but I mean, it does seem like it's very closely connected to that.
00:37:34.641 --> 00:37:34.981
Yeah.
00:37:44.090 --> 00:38:15.146
I guess, with all three different possible potentialities, I guess I could see all three of them being possible, because even the paradise-only view if Jesus says today, you will be with me in paradise, to the thief on the cross right, if Jesus says today, you will be with me in paradise, to the thief on the cross right, like I said, it goes back to a timeline thing, because it's like that doesn't necessarily necessitate that he didn't descend into Hades, but then also, immediately after making his proclamation and then ascending, his spirit ascending into heaven, because in the afterworld, who's to say how time works?
00:38:15.710 --> 00:38:19.260
Yeah, I mean, you know, here on earth, to us it was three days.
00:38:19.601 --> 00:38:19.842
Yeah.
00:38:20.030 --> 00:38:34.318
Or you know to people that lived back then when they but yeah, so that's three days, but like in the afterworld or in the afterlife who's to say how time works exactly so he could have very well been in heaven with him that day.
00:38:34.318 --> 00:38:34.981
You know?
00:38:36.909 --> 00:38:40.282
Yeah, I think so, and I think that, like I said, today, you'll be with me in paradise.
00:38:40.282 --> 00:38:51.105
He could be referencing his divinity too, like that's another potential um uh reasoning where it's like it doesn't necessarily like.
00:38:51.105 --> 00:39:05.311
I favor the idea that, obviously, that he went to heaven right away, but I could also see the idea that, well, how do we explain those people who resurrected?
00:39:05.311 --> 00:39:07.155
Like I said, that gets glossed over all the time.
00:39:07.155 --> 00:39:23.032
I feel like no one talks about it, but I feel like it's pretty big news when people start rising out of the graves and how many people it doesn't really say yeah, but I mean that that
00:39:23.052 --> 00:39:24.876
would fall in line with hey, is that a first potential resurrection?
00:39:24.876 --> 00:39:52.451
Yeah, going off of the
other ideas of the atonement, um, because I could see how origin and gregory of nysa, um, their view of like tricking Satan, and you know about the ransom view, I could see that being directly tied to his descent into hell, right, so I didn't want to leave out that, those views of the like or that view of the atonement, so the other one actually kind of reverses it.
00:39:52.451 --> 00:39:55.092
The reformed view is, I find, very fascinating, of course.
00:39:55.092 --> 00:40:11.202
So Calvin, for example, he believed that the descent into hell that's referenced in the Apostles' Creed means suffering God's wrath, not necessarily, not really a location that Christ himself went to.
00:40:11.202 --> 00:40:18.806
And then Luther seems like he affirmed the descent into hell, but he seems a little bit more vague as to like it's a little bit more of a mystery.
00:40:18.806 --> 00:40:24.695
We don't really know, because right, because it is a little bit more speculative.
00:40:24.715 --> 00:40:25.456
I can't say that.
00:40:25.456 --> 00:40:27.702
You know, it doesn't seem like anyone knows for sure.
00:40:27.702 --> 00:41:01.119
We're just given these glimpses into what the Bible says about what Christ did, and so the penal substitutionary atonement view is kind of derived from Anselm's view, because Anselm actually he rejected the ransom to Satan theory and he proposed a new theory is that basically Christ when he died on the cross it was restoring divine honor and the Reformers kind of built upon his view.
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:03.456
So the ransom that was paid was not to the devil.
00:41:03.456 --> 00:41:04.641
In this view it kind of flips it.
00:41:04.641 --> 00:41:11.597
The ransom was paid to God, right, and with penal substitution or atonement.
00:41:11.597 --> 00:41:15.291
This is kind of closely related to Yom Kippur, which we watched a video on last night.
00:41:15.291 --> 00:41:16.353
Did you have anything that you wanted to closely related to Yom Kippur, which we watched a video on last night?
00:41:16.353 --> 00:41:21.371
Did you have anything that you wanted to bring up about Yom Kippur, anything that you found interesting about it?
00:41:22.414 --> 00:41:46.159
Maybe just what I talked to you about just before we started the episode, but to think about, like Jesus, representing both goats in that sacrifice in the Old Testament, a sacrifice of the unblemished, perfect lamb to God and then the goat that was.
00:41:46.159 --> 00:42:03.161
They transferred the sins of the people onto the one goat that they sent out into outside of the camp into the desert to wander and then would eventually just die yeah because that Sproul has a really interesting video about the.
00:42:03.362 --> 00:42:08.219
I think it's just called the Curse Motif in I think it's the Book of Leviticus, I believe.
00:42:08.219 --> 00:42:12.952
But basically on Yom Kippur, on the, I think it's the Day of the Atonement.
00:42:12.952 --> 00:42:25.822
Now there's some biblical evidence to to kind of back back this theory up about penal substitutionary atonement and I'll say this is that he who knew no sin became sin, that we might become the righteousness of God.
00:42:25.822 --> 00:42:28.755
So you hear, you have that transference, you have that imputation.
00:42:28.755 --> 00:42:30.119
That's one.
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:44.005
Two, you have, um, the idea, uh, I think it's Paul talks about this and he harkens back to the Old Testament about there being the passage that cursed is anyone who hangs on a tree.
00:42:44.005 --> 00:42:53.802
And then obviously Christ hung on a tree and you know there's that passage that Christ came to give himself as a ransom for many.
00:42:54.992 --> 00:43:08.673
So there's that ransom type language being yeah, it is interesting how Calvin kind of went off the satisfaction theory, because I'm pretty sure that's what I mean.
00:43:08.673 --> 00:43:12.606
That's mostly what the Catholic Church holds to is the satisfactory theory.
00:43:12.699 --> 00:43:16.184
That's the thing I think that to is the satisfactory theory.
00:43:16.204 --> 00:43:17.085
That's the thing.
00:43:17.106 --> 00:43:23.094
I think that, but it's almost like Calvin kind of extended it into more of the penal substitution.
00:43:23.094 --> 00:43:25.137
Yeah, so they would hold to a satisfaction theory.
00:43:25.137 --> 00:43:27.523
So both are satisfaction theories right.
00:43:37.070 --> 00:43:44.246
I think the difference, from what I can tell the difference would be for penal substitutionary atonement is the fact that it is um it's a ransom being paid to god and it is more of um god's wrath being poured out on christ.
00:43:44.246 --> 00:44:10.985
So basically he pays the penalty due to our sins, which I think from a catholic perspective I mean obviously the catholic church would hold that um, that that obviously Christ did pay for sins on the cross right, he died for people's sins, but where they would deviate would be that they don't think that it's God's wrath being poured out on God, the Son from God, the Father right.
00:44:12.369 --> 00:44:31.641
Obviously, scripture does repeatedly talk about God's wrath towards the wicked, and I guess the idea would be how do you placate that, if I'm using that term correctly, how do you level that right?
00:44:31.641 --> 00:44:48.168
Level that right Like if God is angry with the wicked and no wickedness can enter into his domain, his territory, into heaven where he resides, full satisfaction has to be made.
00:44:48.168 --> 00:44:48.710
Yeah.
00:44:49.030 --> 00:44:52.300
So both parties would agree that satisfaction has to be made one way or the other.
00:44:52.300 --> 00:45:12.324
But in more of the penal substitutionary atonement is that there's that double imputation where Christ, he takes all of the sins, all of our burdens, he takes all of that on himself and then he transfers and gives us his righteousness.
00:45:12.324 --> 00:45:21.182
So that's a double
imputation view and one that I think that people think is primarily an innovation that came with the Reformation.
00:45:21.182 --> 00:45:45.623
But I don't really see it that way, because Augustine, in one of his works, basically says the same thing and which I found to be really kind of fascinating, because it's like sometimes in theology, which I found to be really kind of fascinating, because it's like sometimes in theology, there's a lot of things that aren't necessarily new but just kind of reworded or built upon.
00:45:45.623 --> 00:45:47.670
Right, because with Jehovah's Witnesses, their non-Trinitarianism is not anything new.
00:45:48.269 --> 00:45:50.277
Arius talked about it first.
00:45:50.277 --> 00:46:06.804
So some of these, whether it's good theology or bad theology, sometimes they have ancient origins, but yeah, so there was a little bit of kind of we were talking a little bit earlier and I wanted to get a little bit more of your take on it.
00:46:06.804 --> 00:46:19.969
So with Yom Kippur you have the sins of the people being transferred to the goat and, from what you remember, it's not the goat that's sacrificed, right, it's the goat that's actually sent out into the wilderness.
00:46:19.969 --> 00:46:21.315
I'm pretty sure it's the one that's sent out.
00:46:21.315 --> 00:46:22.599
Okay, yeah.
00:46:23.570 --> 00:46:25.257
Because I kind of missed that part of the video.
00:46:27.251 --> 00:46:39.918
So the goat you think both goats kind of represent two different roles that Jesus does In the theory that you're bringing up in regards to Penal substitutionary atonement.
00:46:39.918 --> 00:46:41.536
Yeah, but what did you call it Double?
00:46:42.851 --> 00:46:47.402
I think double imputation is probably a part of penal substitutionary atonement.
00:46:47.530 --> 00:46:49.478
That's kind of what that reminds me of.
00:46:49.478 --> 00:46:53.059
That would make sense if he were to represent both goats.
00:46:53.059 --> 00:46:53.882
Yeah, yeah.
00:46:54.510 --> 00:46:55.974
Right if he were to represent both goats.
00:46:55.974 --> 00:47:06.782
Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, because what's kind of crazy about Yom Kippur and the language that's being used is that there was one goat that was for the Lord and one for Azazel.
00:47:06.782 --> 00:47:10.152
The only other time I've read it, I read the name.
00:47:10.152 --> 00:47:12.940
Azazel was in the Book of Enoch, and it's a fallen angel.
00:47:16.034 --> 00:47:43.003
I think he's actually cast out into a desert place, which, um would be make sense, which would be tartarus and also, too, the whole um on yom kippur, when they would send the goat out with the sins of the people, like obviously sent it outside the camp, they would put them into the desert and then they obviously would probably eventually die from heat or starvation or whatever.
00:47:43.003 --> 00:48:08.119
I want to fixate on or focus on that a little bit desert, that it's a representation of Christ being almost like abandoned on the cross, because obviously with penal substitutionary atonement, a big verse, I think, is where Jesus says on the cross my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:12.059
This harkens back to the book of the Psalms where.
00:48:12.139 --> 00:48:17.000
David quotes this, and I don't think Jesus is necessarily just quoting.
00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:22.851
I think that David is prophesying that this is what Jesus is going to say I'm sure.
00:48:22.851 --> 00:48:24.619
Obviously Jesus would know that.
00:48:24.619 --> 00:48:32.184
So there's that idea that he was almost forsaken because he bore the sins of the people.
00:48:32.184 --> 00:48:40.583
God's wrath is being poured out on him so in a way it's I don't want to say abandoned, but forsaken temporarily.
00:48:40.583 --> 00:48:40.862
Yeah.
00:48:43.150 --> 00:48:57.085
And I also could see the goat being sent out into the desert could also be representative of Christ when he dies descending into Hades, of Christ when he dies descending into Hades.
00:48:57.085 --> 00:49:08.677
And since, like I said, the desert place that Azazel is sent to, they describe it in the book of Enoch as like a desert place in the abyss I think there's a connection there.
00:49:08.789 --> 00:49:10.036
It's basically what I'm getting at.
00:49:10.036 --> 00:49:11.331
No, I could see that.
00:49:11.552 --> 00:49:11.851
Yeah, definitely.
00:49:11.851 --> 00:49:12.413
Oh, I could see that.
00:49:12.413 --> 00:49:13.434
Yeah, definitely.
00:49:13.434 --> 00:49:41.949
So it's not that the other goat or other lamb is necessarily, it's obviously not sacrificed to Azazel, and some actually hypothesize that Azazel is just a place meaning like the desert, not really meaning to be a specific person or demon, but yeah, I did find those connections kind of interesting, how they all kind of tie together.
00:49:44.969 --> 00:50:02.699
So when it comes to the satisfactions theory, I think we can both agree like Jesus, through His obedience, made a complete and sufficient sacrifice for humanity's disobedience to God, which then balanced out the injustice that was caused by sin at the start of humanity, yeah, at the fall.
00:50:04.021 --> 00:50:20.059
So yeah, now that we've kind of unpacked a little bit of this I mean, it's a lot to absorb and there's a lot of potentialities here I thought it was worth mentioning that all three not all three are necessarily mutually exclusive.
00:50:20.059 --> 00:50:30.000
I would say that the ones that are most opposed to each other are probably that he ascended into heaven right away and that he was only in heaven when he died.
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:33.514
I would think that that would conflict with the other two views.
00:50:33.514 --> 00:51:10.925
But, like we talked about, obviously, the time frame there and how time works, I don't know if it works differently or it's the exact same in the afterlife, but yeah, so there's, after bringing up the scriptures and what
some of the early church fathers have mentioned, I think it's given us a lot to digest and I think, in summary though I think what it can, it kind of goes back to that revelation passage right, that Christ has like dominion and he has authority, which what the keys kind of represent a little bit of of that, he has the keys of death and Hades.
00:51:10.925 --> 00:51:11.489
Yeah.
00:51:11.610 --> 00:51:21.643
And it's really important to kind of know which actual version of the word is being used, because some of these translations aren't necessarily the most accurate.
00:51:21.643 --> 00:51:29.143
Not that they're bad translations, necessarily, but like some of those small terms could make a big difference.
00:51:29.143 --> 00:51:34.541
Right, like when we talk about you, know I'm with you, even until the end of the age.
00:51:34.541 --> 00:51:37.929
When we talk about you, know I'm with you even until the end of the age.
00:51:37.929 --> 00:51:48.025
Anytime the word age is used in the New Testament I think it was maybe in the King James Version they would always use the world the end of the world, and the end of the age and the end of the world might not necessarily be the same thing.
00:51:49.030 --> 00:51:52.739
So was there anything else you kind of wanted to touch on before we close?
00:51:53.141 --> 00:51:55.498
No, no, I think we went over quite a bit.
00:51:56.230 --> 00:51:56.550
Awesome.
00:51:56.550 --> 00:51:59.577
Well, thanks again for coming on, Katie I mean.
00:51:59.577 --> 00:52:05.478
I think next topic we're going to discuss is, I think the Philly Oakway is the one I'm leaning towards.
00:52:06.019 --> 00:52:20.942
So we'll probably have an episode on that soon, because it is an important doctrine and one that separates Eastern Christians from Western Christians, and one I think that the East particularly has harsh sentiments against the West about.
00:52:20.942 --> 00:52:24.639
So we're going to maybe look at in our next episode together.
00:52:24.639 --> 00:52:39.061
We're going to look at if any of the early church fathers like what views they held on the filioque and what scriptural grounds can be found and maybe a little bit of what the Orthodox view is.
00:52:39.061 --> 00:52:40.184
Obviously.
00:52:40.184 --> 00:52:43.199
So we'll dive deeper into that.
00:52:43.199 --> 00:52:45.927
And well, thanks again for coming on.
00:52:45.927 --> 00:52:46.429
Yeah, thank you.
00:52:46.489 --> 00:52:47.351
I really appreciate it.
00:52:47.351 --> 00:52:48.494
You're welcome.
00:52:49.036 --> 00:52:49.998
Yeah, no problem.
00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:50.940
Looking forward to it.
00:52:51.240 --> 00:52:51.782
Yeah, me too.
00:52:51.782 --> 00:53:06.240
I think that that will be one that you're you'll particularly be interested in hopefully have a little bit more to say it's okay, I kind of threw, I kind of sprung this on you a little bit last minute that's okay yeah, I appreciate you joining me today to talk about it.
00:53:06.240 --> 00:53:09.059
You're welcome, all right, we'll see you next time, all right, bye.
