● Matt 12:40 . . For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge
fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
When you think about it, Jesus' crucified dead body never was in the heart of the
Earth: it was laid to rest up on the surface; and not even in the ground like a
normal grave-- his remains were entombed above the ground in a hollow rock.
(Matt 27:60)
So, in order for Jesus to be up on the surface of the Earth, and down in its bowels
at the same time; he and his body had to part company.
According to Ps 16:8-10 and Acts 2:25-31, when Jesus passed away, he went to a
place in the afterlife called sheol (a.k.a. hades) Jonah went there too. (Jonah 2:2)
Jonah 2:6 situates sheol at the roots of the mountains. Well, I think we can all
agree that none of the Earth's mountains are anchored in the tummies of fish.

FAQ: The Bible says Jesus went and spoke to the spirits in prison while he himself
was in the form of a spirit. (1Pet 3:18-20) Is that speaking of his three days and
nights in the afterlife per Matt 12:40 or some other time in history?
REPLY: It's at some other time in history: specifically in the days of Noah leading up
to the Flood. (Gen 6:3)
FAQ: The "my spirit" in that passage was the spirit of Christ? How so?
REPLY: The spirit of Christ inspired all the prophets, which of course included our
man Noah. (1Pet 1:10-12 & 2Pet 2:5)
FAQ: The spirits in prison per 1Pet 3:18-20 aren't fallen angels?
REPLY: The language and grammar of that passage indicate Peter's spirits are the
afterlife remains of folks drowned in the Flood.
