that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all

Acts
2:26,27 KJV

Therefore did My heart rejoice, and My tongue was glad; moreover also
My flesh shall rest in hope:
27

thine Holy One to see corruption.

*Hell-Hebrew-Showl (Sheh-ole/ Sheol]): Hades, the
world of the dead, the grave.
The Lord Jesus, informed us as to the state of the
unseen world of the dead. Jesus taught in the story of Lazarus and
the rich man, that at the center of the earth, were two very
different areas, one was called Abraham's bosom, the other hell.
Luke
16:22,23,26 KJV
22
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the
angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
26
and beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed:
so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can
they pass to us, that would come from thence.
In Abraham's bosom, all the righteous, from Adam on,
were here. It was paradise for God's people.
Jesus told the repentant thief on the cross...
Luke
23:43 KJV
And
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with
me in paradise.
It is here, where The Lord Jesus came at death.
(Hell-Hades, the grave, the place of departed souls.)
After His resurrection, and His appearing before The
Father in heaven, The Lord Jesus, brought all those in Abraham's
bosom up to heaven, to be with Him, forever.
Ephesians
4:8 NLT
That
is wy the Scriptures say, “When He ascended to the heights, He led
a crowd of captives and gave gifts to His people.”
And, today, our risen Lord, is at the Right Hand Of The
Father, interceding for you and for me.
Hebrews
7:24 -26 NLT
24
But Jesus remains a Priest forever; His Priesthood will never end.
25
Therefore He is able, once and forever to save everyone who comes to
God through Him. He lives forever to plead with God on their behalf.
26
He is the kind of High Priest we need because He is holy and
blameless, unstained by sin. He has now been set apart from sinners,
and He has been given the highest place of honor in heaven.

in his death.

that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to
lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to
lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and
steadfast, and which entereth into that within the vail;
John

Father,
I will that they also, whom thou hast given Me, be with Me where I
am; that they may behold My glory, which thou hast given Me: for thou
lovedst Me before the foundation of the world.
John
14:3 KJV
And
if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive
you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
