"I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well. My body was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously formed in the lowest parts of the earth [the living soul]. Your eyes did see my body yet being limited; and in your book all my members were written, which in longevity were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them." Psalm 139:14-16

In the verse above, David explains how God made and formed him in the lowest parts of the earth. The lowest part of the earth he refers to is the natural part of his understanding, the place of the living soul. Paul is saying Yeshua first originated in the lowest parts of the earth before rising to a place above that of living soul.

Men teach that Yeshua went into the belly of earth or hell before his ascension. Does it mean he literally went down into the belly of the earth?

When Yeshua came into this world, like David, he was also wonderfully made and curiously formed in the same way as David. God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh [lowest parts of the earth]. He took on the image and likeness of the first man Adam who was formed from dust and made a living soul [son of man]. The Lord God formed man of the dust of ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul [came into knowledge of God's will]. It is the spirit [the breath of God] that revives; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
