At five minutes to three in the afternoon, at the ninth hour, upon the hill called Golgotha, a cry tore through the darkened sky: "It is finished." To the eyes of men, a condemned man had breathed His last. But beyond the veil of the visible world, the greatest battle in the history of creation had only just begun.
The Patrollers of Hades carries the reader past the cross and into the unseen realms — down into the depths of Hades, where the souls of the righteous had waited through the long ages for the One who would open the gates, and up into the heights of glory, where Heaven itself prepared to receive its triumphant King.
In this sweeping theological narrative, Pastor Aldery Nelson Rocha unfolds a vision of what took place in the hours, and in the eternity, that followed the crucifixion: the descent of the Victor into the place of the dead; the encounter with the saints who had longed for their redemption; the first entrance into glory and the heavenly Eden; the Holy Mount; the ancient origin of the demons and the throne of Satan; the legal ground upon which the whole drama of salvation rests; and, at last, the second entrance into Heaven.
Part meditation, part spiritual epic, this book invites you to stand where time and eternity meet — at the foot of the cross, at the gates of Hades, and before the throne of the living God. It is a call to behold the cosmic weight of Calvary, the certainty of victory in Christ, and the glory reserved for all who belong to Him.
Written from the heart of a teacher of the Word, The Patrollers of Hades is for every reader who has ever wondered what truly happened five minutes to three in the afternoon — and what it means for all who follow the Lamb.
