5 5 JESUS DIED SPIRITUALLY Romans 5:12 KJ Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. The death Paul is talking about is a spiritual condition brought on by sin. Ephesians 2:1 says of our condition before we were Born- Again We were dead in trespasses and sins. God told Adam in Genesis 2:17 that The Day he disobeyed God, he would surely die. Adam did not die physically for 930 years; but The Day he sinned a Spiritual condition entered him, called Death, (Spiritual Death). This condition, Spiritual Death separated Adam and all men that followed God. It made man a Spiritual outlaw. Forgiveness of Sin would not help man, Sacrifice would not help man to get back in fellowship with God ONLY A NEW NATURE A NEW BIRTH. II Corinthians 5:21 says that Jesus was made to be sin for us On the CROSS when Jesus was made sin with our sin, He cried out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Or why have you left me. At that moment in time, the Life and Nature of God left Jesus and He came under the dominion of SPIRITUAL DEATH and descended into the PRISON HOUSE of suffering for spirits separated from God.

6 6 Jesus was a dead man in HELL, suffering with our spiritual condition. Acts 2:31 says, He seeing this before SPAKE of the the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see CORRUPTION. Revelation 1:5, Colossians 1:18 state that Jesus Christ was the FIRST BORN from the dead. Not physical death but Spiritual Death. These Scriptures will make it clear exactly what Jesus experienced for us in the Death, Burial, and Mighty Resurrection; and what He has ACCOMPLISHED on man s behalf. THANK GOD FOR JESUS Buzzy Sutherlin

7 7 I Peter 3:18 KJ For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit. BARCLAY He underwent physical death, but in his spirit he was brought to life. BECK made alive in His spirit. GODBEY quickened in spirit (His own human spirit) NORLIE made alive again in His spirit. WUEST made alive with respect to the spirit (His human spirit) KNOX endowed with fresh life in his spirit. AMP made alive in the spirit. CONCORDANT vivified in spirit DOUAY enlivened in the spirit. CONFRATERNITY he brought to life in the spirit. LAUBACH His spirit was made alive. CP his spirit was made very much alive. MARSHALL quickened in (the) spirit.

8 8 If he was made alive in His spirit, He must have been spiritually dead. Hebrews 2:9 KJ But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. KNOX he was to taste death, and taste it on behalf of all. NEB in tasting death, he should stand for us all. DIAGLOTT by God s favour, he might taste of Death on behalf of every one. Isaiah 53:9 KJ And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; ( Death is plural in the Hebrew: deaths ) because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Matthew 27:46 KJ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? Matthew 27:50 KJ Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. Jesus died twice: spiritually, then physically. Romans 6:23 KJ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

9 9 The wages of sin is first spiritual death (Genesis 2:17). Since Jesus was made to be sin, He of necessity died spiritually. II Corinthians 5:21 KJ For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. TRANSLATOR S God made him to be sin itself on our behalf GOOD NEWS God made him share our sin in order that in union with him we might share the righteousness of God. NEB God made him one with the sinfulness of men KNOX God made him into sin for us He was so literally made sin in spirit that He had to be made righteous in spirit again. I Timothy 3:16 KJ And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. BECK became righteous in spirit YOUNG declared righteous in spirit 20C pronounced righteous in spirit WEEKES was made righteous in spirit KNOX justification won in the realm of the Spirit; a vision seen by angels. Manifested in the flesh would include His birth to His actual physical death when He no longer was in the flesh. Justified (Made righteous) in spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles would all have to be in the spirit before He was raised physically because the Gentiles were not preached to in His earthly ministry only the lost sheep of

10 10 the house of Israel. Believed on in the world refers to His post-resurrection appearances; received up into glory is the Ascension. He was made righteous in spirit after He had first been made sin in spirit and died physically. I Corinthians 1:30 KJ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. He has been made (lit.) righteousness unto us, after having been made sin first. Romans 6:6 KJ Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. LAUBACH our old self MOST ALL VERSIONS was crucified Our old self was crucified so that our bodies It was the condition of our spirit that was crucified with Him. What was the condition of our old self? Ephesians 2:1 KJ And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins. Romans 8:2 KJ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. We were formerly dead (spiritually) in sin. This former condition of our spirit (old self) was crucified with Him. He be-

11 11 came exactly what we were. Ephesians 2:5 KJ Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved) WAY thrilled us with the same new life wherewith He quickened our Messiah 20C gave Life to us in giving Life to the Christ. AMP He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him. KNOX he, in giving life to Christ, gave life to us too CP God in his overflowing sympathy and great love breathed the same new life into us as into Christ We and He were made alive together. This is not physical resurrection verse 6 refers to. If we were made alive together, then He was made alive at some time. If He was made alive, then He must have been spiritually dead. Colossians 2:13 KJ And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses. 20C to you God gave life in giving life to Christ! KNOX And in giving life to him, he gave life to you, too MARSHALL he co-quickened you with him Revelation 1:5 KJ And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first-begotten of the dead WEYMOUTH the first of the dead to be born to Life WADE the First of the dead to be born into renewed Life NOLI the pioneer of the resurrection 20C1 the First of the Dead to be born again

12 12 Colossians 1:18 KJ And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead KNOX it begins with him, since his was the first birth of our death 20C1 Being the first to be born again from the dead, he is the source of its Life Acts 2:24 KJ Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. BERK Him God raised up by setting him free from the pangs of death; for He could not be held in its grip. CUNN whom God raised, relieving the birth-pangs of death Williams But God raised Him up by loosing Him from the pangs of death. PLAIN ENG having loosed the birth-pangs of death MARSH Whom God raised up loosening the pangs of death ROTH whom God raised up, loosing the pangs of death WEY But God has raised Him to life, having terminated the throngs of death W.E. Vines pangs Greek ODIN a birth pang, travail pain; translated sorrows in Matthew 24:8 and Mark 13:8. Greek verb ODINO: travail in birth in Galatians 4:19, travail upon a woman with child in Revelation 12:2 and in I Thessalonians 5:3. If God loosed Him from the pangs of when He raised Him up, the pangs of death would have to be spiritual because He was released from physical death pangs as soon as he left his body, three days before His resurrection. It is interesting to note that Catholic versions, based on other manuscripts, say hades instead of death.

13 13 JERU God raise him to life, freeing him from the pangs of Hades; for it was impossible for him to held in its power. DOUAY Whom God hath raised up having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it. CONFRATERNITY having loosed the sorrows of hell, because it was not possible that he should be held fast by it. Jesus had a two-fold resurrection, from spiritual death and from physical death. Acts 13:32-34 KJ God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. 1. Spiritual: this day I have begotten thee 2. Physical: And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption NEW BERK abandoned to the realm of the dead WEY He was not left forsaken in the Unseen World ROTH neither was he abandoned unto hades Job 25:4-6 KJ man that is a worm? And the son of man, which is a worm? A worm is serpent-like. Man is a partaker of Satanic nature due to the fall; Jesus bore that nature.

14 14 John 3:14 KJ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up. Numbers 21:6-9 KJ And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said unto Moses, make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses, made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. The serpent was the likeness of the thing destroying the Israelites. Jesus became sin and died spiritually. The worm and the serpent denote union and harmony with the nature of the Adversary. Acts 2:27 JESUS IN HELL KJ Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. BERK thou wilt not abandon my soul to the realm of the dead. WEY For thou wilt not leave me in the unseen world forsaken. ROTH Thou wilt not abandon my soul unto hades The key to the significance of this verse is leave. W.E. Vines leave : Greek ENKATALEIPO to forsake, aban-

15 15 don, leave in straits, or helpless, as in Matthew 27:46, II Timothy 4:10, and Hebrews 13:5. Those in paradise or Abraham s bosom were comforted, not abandoned or forsaken (Luke 16:22-26) Jesus was in the ungodly side. Matthew 12:40 KJ For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. GN In the same way that Jonah spent three days and three nights in the big fish, so will the Son of man spend three days and night in the depths of the earth. Since Jesus stay in the heart of the earth (not the grave) was like Jonah s stay in the belly of the whale, what was Jonah s experience like? This would tell us something of what Jesus experience was like. Jonah 2:1-6 KJ The Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish s belly. And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about; all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. I went down tot eh bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet has thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my God. Notice the terms affliction, the deep, floods, billows, waves, cast out, the depth, weeds,

16 16 corruption (margin, the pit.) Jonah did not have a restful, paradise-type experience to say the least. GN (2) From the deep in the world of the dead I cried for help and you heard me. (4) I thought I had been banished from your presence and would never see your holy temple again. (6) I went down to the very roots of the mountains into the land whose gates lock shut forever. But you, O Lord my God, brought me back from the depth alive. BASIC ENG (2) out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice. (6) you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God. MASORETIC OT (3) Out of the belly of the netherworld cried I (6) Yet, have thou brought up my life from the pit ROTH then didst thou bring up out of the pit my life NAMER (2) from the midst of the nether world I cried for help (5) the abyss enveloped me (6) the bars of the nether world were closing behind me forever, but you brought my life up from the pit BERK (2) from the innermost part (womb) of Sheol I cried for help Psalm 88:4-8,11,12,16 KJ I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. Thou hast put away mine acquaintence far from me; thy terrors have cut me off. KNOX (4) a man past all help, (5) there among the lordless dead (8) I lie in a prison whence there is no escape. BAS ENG (5) My soul is among the dead, like those in the underworld, to whom you give not more thought; for they are cut off from your care.

17 17 JERU (6) You have plunged me to the bottom of the Pit, to its darkest, deepest place, weighted down by your anger, drowned beneath your waves. MOFF (6) In the nethermost pit thou hast placed me, in abysses dark and deep; (7) thy wrath lies heavey upon me, thy waves all overwhelm me. (8) I cannot escape from my prison. (11) thy faithfulness in the world below. NAB (7) You have plunged me into the bottom of the pit, into the dark abyss. NEB (16) Thy burning fury has swept over me, thy onslaughts have put me to silence. Romans 10:6,7 KJ But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) The Greek word for the deep is abussos. W.E. Vines ABUSSOS: bottom, bottomless, ; bottomless is used as a noun denoting the abyss (A.V., bottomless pit ). It describes an immeasurable depth, the underworld, the lower regions, the abyss of Sheol. the reference is to the lower regions of the abode of demons, out of which they can be let loose, Revelation 11:7; 17:8; it is found seven times in the Apocalypse, 9:1,2,11; 11:7; 17:8; 20:1,3 See also Luke 8:31 Colossians 2:15 KJ And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. This is what happened in the abyss, the abode of demons. In it is the Greed en auto in Him, not in it. Thus the 14 th verse is parenthetical, and the 15 th verse here goes with the 13 th verse which says we were made alive together.

18 18 In other words, the 15 th verse took place after He was quickened, not at the cross. KNOX the dominions and powers he (God) robbed of their prey, put them to an open shame, led them away in triumph, through him. ALFORD stripping off from himself the principalities and the powers, he (God) made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in him. CONY And he (God) disarmed the Principalities and the Powers (which fought against Him) and put them to open shame, leading them captive in the triumph of Christ. PHILLIPS And then, having drawn the sting of all the powers ranged against us, he exposed the, shattered, empty and defeated, in his final glorious triumphant act! WEY And the hostile princes and rulers He shook off from Himself, and boldly displayed them as His conquests BARCLAY he stripped the demonic powers and authorities of their power, and made a public spectacle of them, as if they had been captives in a victor s triumphal procession. WAND he stripped away like a cast-off garment every demonic Rule and Authority and made a public exhibition of them NOLI He despoiled the infernal dominions and realms. He dragged their rulers as captives in procession The word for spoiled is enekduo from ekduo. Under strip, W.E. Vines ekduo is to take off, strip off, is used especially of clothes. Romans 5:6 KJ For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:8 KJ But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

19 19 If He died for, that is, on our behalf of or in the stead of the ungodly (not just the righteous dead in Abraham s bosom) then He suffered the consequences of the ungodly s death. He went where they would have gone. The most common objective to all of this is taken from Luke 23:43: And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in paradise. The Greek word for today is semeron. Bullinger s Critical Lexicon and Concordance to the English and Greek New Testament says: Semeron when it comes after a verb, belongs to that verb, unless it is separated from it and thrown into the next clause by the presence of oti (that), e.g.: Luke 19:9. oti this day is salvation come. Luke 4:21. oti this day is the Scripture fulfilled. Mark 14:30. oti this day before the cock crow you will deny me. Without oti: Matthew 21:28. go today. Luke 22:34 Luke 22:43 Verily to thee I say this day, with Me shalt thou be in Paradise. (The words to day BEING MADE SOLEMN AND EM- PHATIC) This is in harmony with numberless Old Testament passages: Deuteronomy 6:6; 7:11; 8:1; 10:13; 11:8,13,28; 13:18; 19:9; 27:4; 31:2; etc. where the Septuagint corresponds to Luke 23:43. Other references: Matthew 6:30; 16:3; 21:28; Luke 5:26, 12:28; 13:32,33; 19:5; 23:43; 24:21; Hebrews 3:7,13,15; 4:7; 5:5; 8:8; James 4:13. Tomanek Indeed today I say to you, you shall be with
