#86 The Harrowing of Hell Explained (Matthew 27:52)
Nga Jonathan S. Rose
Title: The Horrowing of Hell
Topic: First Coming
Summary: We explore the popular medieval idea, captured earlier in two of the ecumenical creeds, that after He died on the cross, Jesus descended "into hell." In later Christianity, this idea has been largely swept aside. We look at it from a fresh perspective and see how it relates to our lives.

Isaiah 44:21-23
21
Remember these things, Jacob and Israel; for you are my servant. I have formed you. You are my servant. Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
22
I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.
23
Sing, you heavens, for Yahweh has done it! Shout, you lower parts of the earth! Break out into singing, you mountains, O forest, all of your trees, for Yahweh has redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.
