He that descended (into the lower
parts of
the earth/aka “the belly
of”hell”) is the same that ascended up (unto The Father) far above all
heavens, that He might fill all things.
[Ephesians 4:9;
Jonah 2:2; John 20:17 ]
Wherefore ...when he ascended up
on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men;
that He might conquer those (such
as sin, the devil, and death) who had conquered us.
[Ephesians 4:8;
Matthew Henry Commentary]
In the 18th Psalm of
David, he sang:
“I will call upon The Lord, Who is
worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. (The Lord)
delivered me from my strong enemy, and ...brought me forth into a large place
...because he delighted in me.”

HE BROUGHT ME OUT OF THE MIRY
CLAY,
HE PLACED MY FEET ON A ROCK TO
STAY;
HE PUT A SONG IN MY HEART TODAY,
