1. To take the keys and victory over the grave and death; these two spirits bound men to eternal damnation, so He needed to take away their hold and power over men. 1 Corinthians 15, Ephesians 4:8–10, Revelation 1:18, Hebrews 2:14
2. Took away the spiritual power of principalities and power over men and made a mess of them. I love this so much; it is the reason no one can be bound by spiritual realities in their family, generation, geographical location… Colossians 1 and 2, Revelation 4 and 5

All the souls and spirits of men who died were kept in Hades and Gehenna. From Adam till His time on earth. No one could ascend. 1 Peter 3:18–20. 1 Peter 4:6. After the assignments were completed, He redirected into Glory. So, Paul said, 'Reckon yourself with the death and resurrection of Jesus, that you were baptized into His death and resurrection.' This is the reason a believer will never die: we passed from death to life, and we can only die if and only if Jesus can go back to the grave and never resurrect again. We received His life, and our eternal destiny hangs on Him, not us. Glory to God.
