+------ To Hell (Hades) And Back; Jesus' Thoughts As He Visited The Souls In Prison

My descent into chambers,
antechambers of Sheol,
garrisons of King Hades - ghosts
of men’s regrets that persist -
hands poised on their hilts,
part as I pass, snarls of
Cerberus…his neck hair stiff,
erect. Before his/Death’s throne I
do not petition abdication just
bequeathal of keys. So as to visit
damned souls shackled to each
other voiceless, oxidized metal of
remorse, in cages of hopelessness
behind iron bars. To swing open
the doors, to inmates declaring,
with my blood, my body crucified,
EXODUS. Fighting tears: “Raise your
eyes. Now, (my sons) you are free”

------Ephesians 4:7-10; 1 Peter 3:18-22
But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. This is why it says:
“When he ascended on high,
    he took many captives
    and gave gifts to his people.”
(What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe; For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits— to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.
