The Spirit World is believed to be divided basically into two realms: Paradise, the abode of righteous spirits, and the Spirit Prison, for spirits who are not yet saved. Before the atonement of Christ, an impassable Gulf existed between the two realms, but Jesus bridged that gap by his Atonement and organized a permanent Mission
