The Cross is a better Hell for Jesus, because the world went dark...
If Jesus were not eternal, shouldn't he still be suffering the Wrath of God? I would like an answer which shows equity regarding eternal Wrath...
Hi thanks for the reply.
I would offer. The cross the 2nd demonstration (bloody )of 3 was a ceremonial sign to the unbelieving word in a hope of drawing them to the book of prophecy so they could find the gospel answers .Why, how ?
To the world it would appear the Son of man, Jesus was crucified by a Satan inspired mob .
The first part of the three days and night would be for those who trust the Book of prophecy fulfilling two of the witness beginning in the garden of Gethsemane. Both prophesied beforehand in Genesis 3:15 with Isaiah 53. In that way two is the witness God not seen has spoken.
The witness of two. 1# the unseen Holy Father working in 2# the Son of man, Jesus.
The Father striking the Son of man, Jesus. bruising his heel crushing the head of the serpent "the gospel news"
Jesus suffered the pangs of hell by his own self. Three time he cried out for strength from the other apostles. Three time the Father put them back to sleep to fulfill the prophecy of two.( Genesis 3:15 with Isaiah 53)
The first portion of three part demonstration . . . the garden possibly a reflection of the garden of Eden when the flaming swords' became the water of the word . . The garden demonstration seems to be almost ignored.
Mathew 26 :36-46 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and
began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them,
My soul is
exceeding sorrowful, even unto
death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O
my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from
me: nevertheless
not as I will, but as
thou wilt.And
he cometh unto the disciples, and
findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter,
What, could ye not watch with me one hour?Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. He went away again the
second time, and prayed, saying, O
my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except
I drink it,
thy will be done.And he came and found them
asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the
third time, saying the same words.Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Rise, let us be going: behold,
he is at hand that doth
betray me.
Then the bloody 2nd demonstration to the
unbelieving world up the hill of the Skull .After that the demonstration of the Tomb. the demonstration of faith.The not seen witness of God The Father removes the grave clothes and rolls back the stone . finishing the work of two empowered by one.
