1 Peter 3:19\u201322,<\/strong> Preached to the spirits in prison.<\/em><\/strong> Did Yeshua preach to the spirits in prison while he was dead? No. Verse 18 states that Yeshua was put to death, was then quickened or made alive by the Spirit (i.e. was resurrected from the grave), and then, in the spirit, he went to preach to the spirits in prison. From the context of this passage, we learn that Yeshua preached to the angelic spirits who rebelled in Noah\u2019s time after<\/em> he was resurrected from the dead. In this place of restraint, which Peter refers to as tartaroo <\/em>(2 Pet 2:4 cp. Jude 6) and which in the ancient near east world referred to a subterranean or underworld prison, these evil spirits await Elohim\u2019s final judgment (Jude 6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likely, Yeshua went there to inform these evil spirits that despite his resurrections and offering of salvation for human sinners, there is no redemption for these fallen demonic spirits because of the evil deeds they committed as recorded in Gen 6:2\u20134. Interestingly, the ancient Book of 1 Enoch gives us some additional background information that these same demons appealed their sentence in times past, but to no avail (1 Enoch 6:4; 13:12\u20133; 14:4\u20135). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This passage in First Peter ends in verse 22 with Yeshua taking his position victoriously at the right hand of Elohim above angels, principalities and powers. In other words, Yeshua has overcome all the rebellious plans and machinations of Satan and his evil demonic spirits to subvert Elohim\u2019s plan of redemption for man. The end result of YHVH\u2019s plan of salvation for man will be the glorification and exaltation of man at Yeshua\u2019s second coming to a position above the angelic realm (Heb 2:6\u20137; 1 Cor 6:3), which is something that Satan attempted to prevent through his attempted subversion of the human race and the thwarting of Elohim\u2019s plan of salvation of man as recorded in Gen 6:2\u20134. By Yeshua\u2019s resurrection and his victory over sin, death, hell, the grave and Satan, he has defeated all the enemy\u2019s plans. Through our acceptance of and identification with Yeshua\u2019s death, burial and resurrection through the spiritual ritual of baptism for the remission of sins (1 Pet 3:21), we have access to this glorious victory over evil and the potential to become the glorified children of Elohim (John 1:12; Rom 8:14\u201315; 23; 9:4; 2 Cor 6:18; Gal 4:5\u20136; Eph 1:5; 1 John 3:1\u20132; Rev 21:7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prison. <\/em><\/strong>(Gr. phulake<\/em>) There are no instances in the Bible of disobedient human souls being placed in an other-worldly prison (Gr. phulake<\/em>). On the other hand, Satan is bound in a prison (Gr. phulake<\/em>) for a thousand years during the millennium (Rev 20:7).<\/p>\n
