The Descent: From the Cross to the Pit

Between the cross on Friday and the empty tomb on the first day of the week, Yahshua was not idle. While His body lay in the tomb, He went somewhere. The Scriptures say He descended into the lower parts of the earth, preached to the spirits in prison, and led captivity captive. The old book called the Gospel of Nicodemus tells the scene in vivid detail: the saints waiting in the dark, the cry at the gates, the binding of the adversary, and the dead led out by the hand. This is the first chapter of a journey that ends at the throne above the seventh heaven. Test every line of it for yourself.
