What is the divine purpose for Sheol/Hades-Paradise v. Sheol/Hades-Torments? (Luke 16)

Paradise, according to Jesus, is the intermediary resting place of the righteous dead also known as Hades-Paradise (Luke 16).

Before the death, burial, resurrection, of Jesus, all dead (righteous and unrighteous) were translated to either Sheol/Hades-Paradise or Sheol/Hades-Torments. Those who died in faith, have believed in Elohim and His dominion over the Earth, were, upon death of the body, translated to Hades-Paradise awaiting the blood atonement for sin provided by Messiah Jesus.

While Jesus’ body lay in the tomb for three-days, Jesus, in Spirit, descended into Hades-Paradise and preached liberty to the captive righteous spirits interned there and ultimately freed them from Hades and escorted them into the Kingdom (Ephesians 4:7-13).

Subsequent Messiah’s blood atonement performed at Golgotha, every faithful saint in Jesus who dies in body is immediately translated into the presence of our Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8). Hades-Paradise was necessary as a waiting place for the righteous dead as no one was permitted to enter the Kingdom until the proper blood atonement for sin had been made manifest via the blood of Messiah at Golgotha (Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 9:22).

Hades-Torments houses every unfaithful dead, their spirit, from the Creation forward. Even to this very day, when one dies having rejected Messiah as their Intercessor for sin, they are interned in Hades-Torments awaiting the “resurrection of the damned” (John 5:28-29) where they will receive a resurrected body of corruption and stand before Jesus for adjudication concerning works, these will be adjudicated “guilty” and they will perish in the “second death” in Hell, the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15).
