Did Jesus Descend into Hell Between His Death and Resurrection?

After His death, Jesus descended to the lower parts of the earth not to suffer but to proclaim victory over death and hell. He preached to spirits in prison and led the righteous captives out. On the third day, He rose again and was not left behind. Psalm 16:10 (Acts 2:27,31) confirms that His soul went to the place of the departed but was not abandoned. Matthew 12:40 likens His time in the earth’s heart to Jonah’s three days in the fish. 1 Peter 3:19–20 shows He announced His triumph to disobedient spirits, not offering them a second chance but declaring His victory.
