You've asked a very vital question that over 70% of Nigerian Christians and Muslims can't answer cos they don't have none for it.

Satan rebelled in heaven. He was able to deceive one third of the angels in heaven to follow him. That's about several billions of angels. He questioned God's authority and lied to the angels that they were better of on their own than with Yahweh. He led a revolution against God and wanted to usurp God and mount the throne. He wanted to rule.

Isaiah 14:13-14

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High."


Many angels believed in his words as he promised them better than what God gave them. That was how he was able to pull some of them to his side.

Revelations 12:3-4
Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.

After he succeeded in pulling those stars to his side, he launched his rebellion.

Revelations 12:7-9

"Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.
But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."

He got barnished from heaven. Now, your question asks to to know why God didn't destroy him as soon as inequity was found in him. If God had destroyed him immediately, all the angels including the ones that didn't listen to his lies would have felt God was silencing His opposition. So, to prove the devil wrong by showing the heavenly hosts that no one can rule better than Yahweh, God decided to let Lucifer rule the earth for the entire universe to see.

Since Satan has been ruling the world, there hasn't been peace.

1 John 5:9

"We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is Under the control of the EVIL ONE."

Now, all those angels that refuse to buy his lies can now see that the devil would have been a huge disaster if he had been allowed to rule heaven. If God had destroyed him the moment he chose to rebel, those angels would have thought Lucifer was right, that's why God quickly silenced him.

The billions of angels who stood by him are now the demons and principalities of darkness in this world today, while the One that remained loyal are the good and peaceful angels.


Imagine if PDP used all the power at their disposal to silence APC, the masses would have complained cos they thought they saw a hope in APC and all its promises. But now that APC, has gotten to power, we can now all see that they aren't competent enough.

The time for Satan's destruction is near cos Yahshua is coming.

so what are you guys saying about hell?? if you die a sinner would u go straight to hell or u go down to sheol to await judgement.. i believe in the latter but i would like to hear others views

blessedvisky:
Lol. This is funny. According to the Bible, JESUS went to the grave ( hades/ hell/sheol) on the day of the crucifixion and was there for 3 days and 3 nights. Now if JESUS said the their will be where he is, then the their went to hell also. Let me show you scriptures

Ephesians 4:9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

Acts 2:25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 2:26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 2:28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.



Matthew 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 27:54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.


1 Peter 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.


OP take your time and read all that I have posted.

Obviously as at when JESUS died, he went to hell/hades/sheol and preached to the spirits of the people there. 1st Peter tells us specifically that JESUS preached to those from Noah's and time and those who are dead. Also from Matthew, we see that the Saints resurrected or appeared after Jesus's death. This shows they were not in Heaven prior to that. It was after this that they could ascend to heaven. Remember Paul said Christ is the first person to ascend into heaven( the presence of God).
So obviously the their that JESUS promised DID NOT go to heaven straight, since Christ also didn't go to heaven straight upon his death.

Do you understand? ? Let me know Pls.

OK lemme answer your question. Before Christ died on the cross, believers do not go to Heaven directly when they die. They go to Paradise also called Abraham's Bosom, which is located in Sheol. But after Christ died and satisfied God's wrath for sin, Believers now go to heaven directly after death. Why old testament believers couldn't go to heaven directly was that Christ have not died to atone for the sin of mankind since the fall of Adam in the garden of Eden.

Now concerning your other question on why believers need to be resurrected on the last day? When a believer in Christ die, his spirit will go directly to heaven to be with the Lord. Meanwhile his physical body is still in the grave here on earth. But at the Rapture of the church, Christ will descend from heaven with a great shout!! and the dead in Christ will rise first, followed by we believers that are alive at that time and we all will receive our glorified body immediately and meet our Lord Jesus in the air.

Why we need a glorified body is that in our glorified body, we will be exactly like Christ, that's the last part of our redemption in Christ that He purchased for us at the cross .... we can never die again and we can travel at the speed of light. Dead believers in heaven right now don't have their glorified body yet, they are just spirits in human form over there in heaven. But at the rapture, wherever their body is, whether those that drowned in the sea or rotten in grave, the power of God will bring their atoms together wherever it is.... That power in Christ that He used during the creation of the universe will manifest cos it is written "In Him everything was held together".... i hope i have answered your question though?.
