I will accept that. It is a mysterious thing to accept, that Jesus went into Hades to preach, while there are no other passages that can be used to support that interpretation. So prison really can be understood differently. What could those who cannot change from their circumstances have to gain from being preached at? At any rate everything for full atonement was accomplished already. The resurrection ahead was to seal the needed basis for all believers.

Perhaps it would be so that the those in Sheol, where everyone expected to go upon death (it being
a holding place of the dead), would know that the fulfillment of Scriptural prophecy had come to pass.
