“Three Days in the Grave”: Jesus’ Defeat of Death, Sin & Chaos (John 11, Matthew 27, Romans 5–6, 1 Corinthians 15, 2 Corinthians 3–5)

What if Jesus didn’t just die to forgive your personal failings—but to dismantle the ancient monsters that have haunted humanity since the beginning?

In this cosmic episode of What the Bible Actually Says, Dr Tyson Putthoff takes us deep into the grave—and even deeper into the ancient worldview that saw Death, Sin, and Chaos not just as ideas, but as terrifying forces, godlike powers that devoured everything. Drawing from both Scripture and ancient Near Eastern study, this episode reframes the cross and resurrection not as a courtroom drama, but as a divine ambush.

Jesus doesn’t get dragged to the cross. He walks into it, baiting Death into swallowing him. And when Death takes in what it can’t digest, the whole system begins to rupture. This is the moment creation turns inside out. The devourer is devoured. The grave is shattered. And resurrection breaks loose—not just for Jesus, but for anyone who belongs to him.

If you’ve ever wondered what the resurrection actually accomplished—or what it means to live as a Resurrection Person in a world still ruled by fear—this is the episode for you.
