It is used in various contexts, including divine intervention, spiritual experiences, and genealogical references. 1. Divine Intervention and Theophany: One of the most significant uses of "descend" is in the context of God or His presence coming down to earth. In <a href="/exodus/19-20.htm">Exodus 19:20</a>, it is recorded, "The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the summit." This descent signifies God's willingness to engage with His people and deliver His commandments. Similarly, in the New Testament, the Holy Spirit's descent is a pivotal event. In <a href="/matthew/3-16.htm">Matthew 3:16</a>, during Jesus' baptism, "As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him." 2. Christ's Descent: The concept of Christ's descent is crucial in Christian theology. <a href="/ephesians/4-9.htm">Ephesians 4:9-10</a> speaks of Jesus' descent: "What does 'He ascended' mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is the very one who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things." This passage is often interpreted to mean that Christ descended to the realm of the dead, proclaiming victory over sin and death before His resurrection and ascension. 3. Angelic Activity: Angels are also described as descending from heaven to deliver messages or execute God's will. In <a href="/genesis/28-12.htm">Genesis 28:12</a>, Jacob dreams of a ladder reaching to heaven, with "the angels of God ascending and descending on it." This vision reassures Jacob of God's presence and promises. 4. Genealogical Descent: The Bible frequently uses "descend" in genealogical contexts, referring to lineage and heritage. The descendants of key biblical figures, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are central to the narrative of God's covenant with His people. The genealogies in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke trace Jesus' descent from David, affirming His messianic credentials. 5. Metaphorical and Symbolic Uses: The term is also used metaphorically to describe spiritual or moral decline. In <a href="/psalms/55-15.htm">Psalm 55:15</a>, David prays for his enemies, saying, "Let death seize them by surprise; let them descend alive to Sheol, for evil is with them in their homes." Here, "descend" symbolizes a fall into judgment and separation from God. In summary, the concept of "descend" in the Bible encompasses divine interaction with humanity, Christ's redemptive work, angelic missions, genealogical significance, and moral or spiritual decline. Each usage underscores the dynamic relationship between heaven and earth, God and humanity, and the unfolding of divine purposes throughout biblical history.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

"He also descended into the lower parts of the earth" is variously interpreted, the two chief interpretations being the one of the incarnation, and the other of the "descent into hell" (<a href="/1_peter/3-19.htm">1 Peter 3:19</a>). The former regards the clause "of the earth," an appositive genitive, as when we speak of "the city of Rome," namely, "the lower parts, i.e. the earth." The other regards the genitive as possessive, or, with Meyer, as governed by the comparative, i.e. "parts lower than the earth." For the former view, see full discussion in Eadie; for the latter, Ellicott and especially Meyer, in commentaries on Eph. H. E.
