There was no intermingling by the spirits in paradise and hell until after Christ bridged the “great gulf” between these two spirit abodes. (Alma 40:11-14). This he did while his body lay in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea and his own disembodied spirit continued to minister to men in the spirit prison … “Until that day” the prisoners remained bound and the gospel was not preached to the (Moses 7:37-39). The hope of salvation for the dead was yet future. But now, since tour Lord has proclaimed “liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound” (Isa. 61:1), the gospel is preached in all parts of the spirit world, repentance is granted to those who seek it, vicarious ordinances are administered in earthly temples, and there is a hope of salvation for the spirits of those men who would have received the gospel with all their hearts in this life had the opportunity come to them.Share
