In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth. God had the purpose of forming this special creation for His Glory and His pleasure. He says that in a number of places, but very specifically in Hebrews 1:1-2 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers

Christ went to Hades to redeem the Old Testament saints from hades and to deliver the New Testament saint from the power of the devil. That is the reason why He exclaimed in Psalm 16:10 “For thou will not leave my soul in hell (Sheol)…” and also: “For great is thy mercy toward me: and
