Through death, Jesus joins all those who died before Him, allowing them to participate in His work by opening the gates of the Kingdom of God. Adam and Eve represent all of humanity, delivered by Christ in an upward movement. Standing on the shattered gates of Hades, He snatches Adam from his tomb, seizing him by the wrist.
