Acts 2:27

Because thou wilt not leave my soul unto Hades, Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see corruption.

'BECAUSE'-This is the reason for the hope, confidence and gladness expressed in the previous verse.

'MY SOUL'-Carefully note that these verses admit that man possesses. dual nature (Matthew 10:28). This also infers that Jesus simply had one "spirit" or soul, i.e. His own eternal spirit.

'HADES'-86. haides hah'-dace; from. (as negative particle) and 1492; properly, unseen, i.e. "Hades" or the place (state) of departed souls: -grave, hell.

Point to Note:

The KJV translation of 'hell' instead of 'hades' has unfortunately given people the idea that Jesus went to hell after He died and gave those in hell. second chance to be saved. We should note that hades is not hell, for hades is viewed as the dwelling place of ALL the dead, including the righteous dead (Luke 16:23). In addition, Jesus told the repentant thief, that 'paradise' was His (Jesus') destination after death and not torment (Luke 23:43). Carefully note that 1 Peter 3:18 is talking about Jesus preaching through Noah prior to the flood, to the people who are "now" in prison. They weren't in hell when Jesus in the spirit preached to them.

Unfortunately, for the English reader of the KJV, the KJV translators rendered three different Greek words (Gehenna, Haides and Tartarus), by one single English word (hell).

'THY HOLY ONE'-This Psalm was speaking of the resurrection of. single individual. 'my soul'.

'SEE'-experience.

'CORRUPTION'-1312. diaphthora dee-af-thor-ah'; from 1311; decay: -corruption.

-His body would be raised before any decay set in.
