Was Jesus Busy in the Grave ?
1 Peter 3 -NKJV
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,
19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,
20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
1 Peter 4
3 For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles–when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.
4 In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.
5 They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
INTRODUCTION . . .
A historical charismatic Man, Jesus of Nazareth, who lived and died some two thousand years ago asks two questions of His Disciples (followers). The first question that Jesus (or Yashua, his Hebraic name) asked was:
Who do men say that I am?
The responses and follow-up question are priceless as we seek to learn how those closest to Him replied to this relevant request.
We need to appreciate the importance of this probe into the identity of Jesus of Nazareth. From historical records we can confirm His existence and verify that death by crucifixion under Roman occupation in Israel/Judah did occur.
What we are most interested in is to verify what the testimonies of both witnesses and various Biblical writers provide to us about Jesus of Nazareth.
Providentially, this information can be found in the common Bible which most people already possess in their homes today. This will be the primary source we will use in our investigation.
We will use the New King James version of the Bible.

1Peter 3: 18-20 (Jesus preached unto the spirits in prison)
The QUESTION we must ask ourselves and YHWH is . . . did Jesus (Yashua) preach to spirit beings in the spirit world between the time He died on the cross and when He was resurrected OR was He dead (asleep) in the tomb where they had laid Him until He was resurrected?
1Peter 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:
(19) By which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
(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.
