At his demise; Christ went to hades. (Acts 2:25-31)
A place he described as "in the heart of the earth" (Matt 12:40)
Christ's corpse wasn't interred in the heart of the earth. In point of fact, his
corpse wasn't even interred in the earth's soil. It was laid to rest on the
surface of the earth inside a rock.
Acts 2:25-31 refers to Psalm 16:8-11. In that scripture the Hebrew word
sheol is used instead of hades; which means that hades and sheol are
talking about the same place; viz: they're interchangeable, so that whatever
is true about the one, is true about the other; ergo: if hades is in the heart
of the earth, then so is sheol.
Jonah went to sheol. (Jonah 2:2)
A place that he described as the roots of the mountains. (Jonah 2:6)
Mountains are not rooted in the tummies of fishes. They're rooted in solid
earth.
Acts 2:25-31 speaks of Christ escaping corruption; viz: putrefaction.
The word used for putrefaction in Ps 16:8-11 is shachath (shakh'-ath), which
is an important element in the story of Jonah.
†. Jonah 2:6 . .Thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God.
"pit" is translated from shachath; a common word in the Old Testament for
putrefaction; viz: Jonah 2:6 is the language of resurrection; which means
that at some time during his nautical adventure, Jonah was deceased.
Was Jonah ever alive in the fish? Yes, (Jonah 2:1). But was he alive the
whole three days and three nights? No; because in order for Jonah to be at
the roots of the mountains and in the tummy of the fish simultaneously, he
and his body had to part company; which is exactly what happened to
Christ. While his corpse was reposing on the surface of the earth, he was in
its heart.
The story of Jonah is very handy for explaining what was going on with
Christ between the time of his death and the time of his resurrection; and
it's also handy for exposing the ignorance of folk who allege that hades and
sheol refer only to the grave.
