The Cherubs guarding the flaming sword were Michael and Gabriel. Michael went from Cherub to Archangel and to God when he died and was resurrected and the went to Tartarus and instigated Gehenna as we shall see. We read in Jude that...
9 But when Michael, the archangel, had a difference with the Devil and was disputing about Moses' body, he did not dare to bring a judgment against him in abusive terms, but said: May [our] Lord rebuke you (Jude).
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels battled
with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled (Revelation 12).
The Archangel has authority over all the loyal angels, this is the firstborn
right. So Michael became the archangel at his death. After this he took up the
issue of Moses body with Satan, who lost his firstborn right when persuaded Eve
and Adam through Eve to sin. Actually Michael then went on to become a God to be
worshipped like Jehovah just before Pentecost.
Now Adam hid in the garden for when he sinned. He was in the heart of the earth for 3 days in the sense that he was under Satan's authority on 3993Nisan14 and 3993Nisan15, then Jehovah came to speak to him whilst he was hiding on 3993Nisan16 in the archetype for the wave offering of the firstfruits on that day. Adam lost his angelic soul on 3993Nisan16, entering into the second death from an angelic stanpoint or becoming second dead although still living as a human. This is the archetype for Jesus going to Gehenna after giving his angel for the ARC on 33Nisan16. Then God made Adam and Eve long garments of skin and they were evicted from Eden after the 3 days and 3 nights on 3993Nisan17 just as Jesus was resurrected as a human on that day.
This is the archetype for Jonah who spent 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of the whale in the depths of the sea. Jonah himself symbolically stands for Jesus, for Jesus said:
39 In reply he said to them: A wicked and adulterous generation
keeps on seeking for a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah the
prophet.
40 For just as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three days
and three nights, so the Son of man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three
nights (Matthew 12).
Now Jesus was in the heart of the earth 3 days and 3 nights. The bible is maximally meaningful. Applying this principle to the seemingly tautologous phrase "3 days and 3 nights" we see that he was in one type of heart of the earth for 3 days (and obviously 3 nights) and another type of heart of the earth for 3 nights (and obviously 3 days).
His human body was in the burial cave for the night of Nisan15, the day of Nisan15, the night of Nisan 16, the day of Nisan16, the night of Nisan17 and a small part of the day of Nisan17, meeting Mary early in the morning of that day.
He himself was in the composite heart of the heavens from the minute he was arrested until he appeared before God as angelic firstfruits on 33Nisan16. This is because they were all on the edge of their seats at the immensity of his task to ransom Adam. And the ramifications were so huge for the heavens. He was going to fix the holy spirit and give God a second wife for one thing. So this period was the night of Nisan14, the day of Nisan14, the night of Nisan15, the day of Nisan15, the night of Nisan16 and a small part of the day of Nisan16 until he gave his angel to God in ransom for Adam and went to Gehenna until his resurrection on 33Nisan17.
JONAH CHAPTER 1
1 And the word of Jehovah began to occur to Jonah,
the son of Amittai, saying:
2 Get up, go to Nineveh,
the city, the great [one] [Jerusalem],
and proclaim against her that their badness has come up before me.
3 And Jonah [Michael
who was Jesus] proceeded to get up and run away
to Tarshish [the kingdom of God. He leaves his
father and mother to stick to his wife] from before Jehovah; and he
finally came down to Joppa [Judah, the Jordan]
and found a ship going to Tarshish [The
Kingdom of God. He possessed Immanuel, and was water baptised into the 1EC, the
ship, TCC1]. So he paid its fare [agreed
to obey the law and be baptised and he emptied himself and
took a slave's form] and went down into it, in order to go with them
to Tarshish [the Kingdom of God]
from before Jehovah [no longer in the direct
presence of God in heaven].
4 And Jehovah himself hurled forth a great
wind at the sea [the faithless non synagogue
attenders in Israel], and there came to be a great tempest on the sea; and as for the
ship, it was about to be wrecked [At the end of Jesus' ministry,
the shepherd was sturck and the flock was scattered. God was whipping up the public against the Pharisees through
the teachings and works of Jesus and the apostles, and the Pharisees therefore
wanted to kill Jesus and destroy the church].
5 And the mariners began to fear and to call
for aid, each man [#y)] to his God [the mariners were the
pharisees, each one having their own God, not Jehovah]. And they [mariners]
kept hurling out the articles that were in the ship to the sea [anyone
who attended any synagogue under law, who also was in the church, was thrown out
of that synagogue into the sea of the faithless public] in order to
lighten [it] of them [to rid their flock of
Christians]. But Jonah himself had gone down to the innermost parts of
the decked vessel [the top deck of the 1AC,
the middle deck of the ICC, the innermost and lower deck of the JAC] and he proceeded to lie down and go fast asleep [On
33Nisan14, into the first death].
6 And the captain of sailor [Gabriel,
the acting head of the holy spirit, the acting captain of the angels]
came near to him and said to him: What is the matter with you, sleeper? Get up,
call out to your God! [Gabriel resurrected
Jesus from the first death, which is being asleep in a temporary angel. He
resurrected Jesus as an angel in his own angelic body] Perhaps the [true] God will show himself caring about us,
and we shall not perish [Jesus gives that
angel to God and ransoms Adam and fixes the heavens in some way too, so that
angels other than him can get everlasting life].
7 And they [mariners]
began to say to man to fellow: Come,
and let us cast lots [getting Jehovah's view,
enquiring from the scriptures], that we may know on whose account we
have this calamity. And they kept casting lots, and finally the lot fell upon
Jonah [The Pharisees did realize that he was
the Messiah].
8 So they [mariners]
said to him: Do tell us, please, on
whose account it is that we are having this calamity? What is your work, and
from where do you come? What is your country, and from which people are you?
63
But Jesus kept silent. So the high priest said to him: By the living God I put
you under oath to tell us whether you are the Christ the Son of God!
64 Jesus said to him: You yourself have said
[it] [They knew that he was, having discussed it beforehand].
Yet I say to you men, From henceforth you will see the Son of man sitting at the
right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven (Matthew 26).
11 Jesus answered him: You would have no
authority at all against me unless it had been granted to you from above. This is why the
man that handed me over to you has greater sin (John 19). [The
man who handed him to Pilate was Caiaphas, who knew him to be the Messiah].
9 At that he said to them: I am a Hebrew, and
Jehovah the God of the heavens I am fearing, the One who made the sea and the
dry land [The true religion and the mass of
non aligned mankind].
10 And the mortal-men [Not
the mariners. The disciples] began
to fear greatly, and they went on to say to him: What is this that you have
done? For the mortal-men had come to know that it was from before Jehovah that he was
running away, because he had told them.
11 Finally they [the
mariners not the mortal-men, we can choose it is a pronoun] said to him: What should we
do to you, in order that the sea may become still for us? For the sea was
continually growing more tempestuous [the
people were being whipped up against the Jewish leaders].
12 So he said to them: Lift me up [impale
me, the Greek new testament euphemism for impalement] and hurl me into
the sea [hand my judgment over to the crowd -
who said: impale him! impale him!], and the sea will become still for
you; because I am aware that it is on my account that this great tempest is upon
you.
13 But the mortal-men tried to work their way
through, in order to bring [it] back to the dry land; yet they were unable,
because the sea was continually growing more tempestuous against them [the
disciples could not bring their administration to be the true religion and take
over from the law in the absence of Jesus' death].
14 And they [the
mortal-men] proceeded to call out to Jehovah
and to say: Ah, now, Oh Jehovah, may we, please, not perish because of the soul
of this man! [Jesus was physically arrested
and made sure the others were set free, saving their souls literally at that
time. Then they benefit from his ransom so that they do not perish but have
everlasting life.] And do not
put upon us innocent blood, since you yourself, Oh Jehovah, have done according
to what you have delighted in!
15 Then they lifted up Jonah [taking
him to Pilate] and hurled him into the sea [his
fate was left to the crowd]; and the sea began to halt from its
raging.
16 At that the mortal-men began to fear Jehovah
greatly, and so they offered a sacrifice to Jehovah [the
men vowed under the 1NC to die sacrificially as well] and made vows.
17 Now Jehovah appointed a great fish to
swallow Jonah, so that Jonah came to be in the inward parts [plural]
of the fish 3 days and 3 nights [Hades from
Nisan14 to Nisan16 and Gehenna from Nisan16 to Nisan17] [When you are thrown
into the sea you are supposed gone forever. But death is not what it seems.
Hence the whale, which is death. It preserves you for a resurrection either into
the kingdom or Gehenna]. (updated)
JONAH CHAPTER 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God from
the inward parts of the fish
2 and said: Out of my distress I called out
to Jehovah, and he proceeded to answer me. Out of the belly of Sheol [the
grave, like the belly of the whale, which represents the inwards parts of the
grave] I cried for help. You heard my voice.
3 When you threw me [to] the depths, into the
heart of the open sea, Then a very river encircled me. All your breakers and
your waves -- over me they passed on.
4 And as for me, I said, 'I have been driven
away from in front of your eyes! How shall I gaze again upon your holy temple?' [This
he said from Gehenna. And Adam before him said it from the world]
5 Waters encircled me clear to [the] soul [the
crowd bayed for his blood]; the watery deep itself kept enclosing me.
Weeds were wound around my head [Pharisees,
suffocating his headship].
6 To the bottoms of [the] mountains I went
down [into earthly prison and heavenly prison,
the lowest position any administration can confer]. As for the earth,
its bars were upon me for time indefinite [again
he is in an administration's prison]. But out of [the] pit you
proceeded to bring up my life, Oh Jehovah my God [Both
from Hades and from Gehenna. So both of the death's that he saves us from he has
experienced himself for us].
7 When my soul fainted away within me,
Jehovah was the One whom I remembered. Then my prayer came in to you, into your
holy temple [Jehovah hears the prayers of
those in Gehenna, who have no soul. In Hades you do have a soul but you are
asleep in it].
8 As for those who are observing the idols of
untruth, they leave their own loving-kindness.
9 But as for me, with the voice of
thanksgiving I will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed, I will pay [I
will fulfil my covenant obligations]. Salvation belongs to Jehovah.
10 In time Jehovah commanded the fish, so
that it vomited out Jonah onto the dry land [Jesus
was resurrected on the 3rd day his body becoming the first Christian church].
The heart of the earth was the heart of Satan's earthly organisation on
33Nisan14, then in Hades, which is an expression of God's love, or the heart of
the his heavenly organisation, with his body in a cave in the literal earth on
33Nisan15. Then we went to make his firstfruit wave offering to Jehovah in
person on 33Nisan16, whereupon he offered up his angelic body to save all men
and all errant angels. The downside of this was he lost his angelic body and
therefore went into Gehenna. This is where he spent 33Nisan16. But even Gehenna
is a manifestation of the heart of God's organisation since he does not give up
on those who deserve death, but he rehabiliates them in his high security rehab
centre, called the whale. Also this has
the meaning that the holy spirit has her hand over her mouth for 3 days and 3
nights in worry over Jesus.
The whale is a creature which can hold many humans in its belly and Gehenna is a prison which holds many spirits in one body. Likewise Rahab, the prostitute, whose name also means great sea monster, joined many to her one body as will be the case in Gehenna and as was the case with Legion. So really Gehenna is a Rahab centre!
Then of course, literally Jesus was in the memorial tomb in the heart of the earth, for some of the day of Nisan14 and for Nisan15 and Nisan16 and some of the night of Nisan17. So that would be 3 days and 3 nights.
We now understand that Tartarus was the angelic holding pen for Gehenna. Gehenna could not begin until there was a way out of it which way was provgided by Jesus death. So the angels went from Tartarus to Gehenna after Jesus died. Jesus went to preach to them before their transfer however.
18 Why, even Christ died once for all time concerning
sins, a righteous [person] for unrighteous ones, that he might lead you to God, he being put to death in the
flesh, but being made alive in the spirit.
19 In this [state] also he went his way and preached to the
spirits in prison,
20 who had once been disobedient when the patience of
God was waiting in Noah's days, while the ark was being constructed, in which a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through
the water (1 Peter 3).
4 Certainly if God did not hold back from punishing the
angels that sinned, but, by throwing them into Tartarus, delivered them to pits of dense darkness to be reserved for
judgment;
5 and he did not hold back from punishing an ancient
world, but kept Noah, a preacher of righteousness, safe with seven others when he brought a
deluge upon a world of ungodly people (2 Peter 2).
Now when Jesus was resurrected as a human he said to Mary Magdalene...
17 Jesus said to her: Stop clinging to me. For I have not yet ascended to the Father. But be on your way to my brothers and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God (John 20).
He had not yet ascended, yet he was not held fast by the first death, so he had descended!
24 But God resurrected him by loosing the bonds of death, because it was not possible for him to continue to be held fast by it (Acts 2).
25 For David says respecting him, I had Jehovah constantly before
my eyes; because he is at my right hand that I may never be shaken.
26 On this account my heart became cheerful and my tongue rejoiced
greatly. Moreover, even my flesh will reside in hope, 27 because you will not leave my soul in
Hades, neither will you allow your loyal one to see corruption (Acts 2).
No Jesus' spirit in a temporary angelic soul was not left in Hades and neither was
he left in Gehenna.
