④ Paul’s words: “It is said that when he ascended on high, he captured the captives and gave gifts to men. If he said that he went up and went up, then what is it, except that he came down to the ground…” (Ephesians 4:8-10)
※ The symbol of the resurrection of the saints is
① It symbolizes the fact that Christ has conquered death.
* Now the sting of death is removed, and the power of death is destroyed (1 Corinthians 15:25-26, 51-57, Hebrews 2:14).

I knew the truth.
