What does it mean when it says he descended into hell on the third day he rose and ascended into heaven?

This phrase is referring to the Christian belief that after Jesus died on the cross, he descended into the realm of the dead (hell) before rising from the dead on the third day and ascending into heaven. This sequence of events is a central tenet of the Christian faith, symbolizing Jesus' victory over sin and death.


If Jesus descended into Hell and he was the prophesied Savior did he save all those who were in Hell?

AnswerJesus did not descend into the Hell of the damned. He descended into the place that was called synonymously in the Bible "hell" or "the bosom of Abraham" also known as "the limbo of the fathers". Since the gates of heaven were shut the righteous souls of those that had died were here waiting to go to Heaven. Thus Jesus descended into hell that He might manifest Himself to them, granting them the Beatific Vision and thus heaven.However, for those who are in the Hell of the damned, they never saw Christ. Revelations in the Bible says that everyone will be pulled out of both "death" and "hell and judged for the second death at the Last Judgment.


Did Jesus go to hell and were can you found it in the bible?

This was open to translation. It never actually said he went to hell, but it did say that he ascended and descended in Ephesians 4. Some people believe that Adam and Eve's sin closed the gates of heaven, and all souls went to the land of the dead, called Sheol. This was not the fiery pits of hell that are described later in the Bible, but more like a holding place for everyone that died. Part of this line of thought is that when Jesus died, he ascended to reopen the gates of Heaven, the descended into Sheol to make the proclamation.

Why at Church when they say the Apostles Creed do they leave out the line that he descended into hell?

At church we recite the NICENE creed which does not contain this reference. However, when we do recite the APOSTLES creed the current translation is he "descended to the dead". This is intended to note that Jesus came to save all with his victory over death, and in particular to those who died before his victory. In the revised Roman missal in Advent of 2011, this will be changed back to "he descended into hell".
