Maybe the moment of Christ's salvation allowed the damned souls fully reject it which made them fully fixed against God's will. So it was the information that unlocked the definitive state of their eternal suffering. So it might not have been that Jesus physically went to hell with some kind of a key and he unlocked it but it happened in the minds or will of those souls. I think the only change that happened was that the decision became eternal. I don't think damned souls repented and went to heaven. | |

I simply want to know is the "hell of damnation" was still closed before Jesus death and when he descended into hell, did he open it so that all the damned souls can now enter and join the demons in their eternal torments. | |

But from the private revelations we know there are already souls in hell with demons which means the damned souls might have dropped deeper into the "real hell" after the moment when Jesus descended. | |

| Sep 27, 2019 at 14:46 | comment | added | Grasper | Well, Ok. Does CCC633 answer your question? | |
| Sep 27, 2019 at 14:36 | comment | added | jong ricafort | i did not skipped CCC633, look at my question I stated further explanation can be found in CCC632 to CCC634. The CCC635 stated the risen Christ has the keys to Death and Hades. | |
