Subject: Jesus tears down the gates of hell? |
Bible Note: Dear Steve and Nolan, How about "Be gracious to me, O Lord; Behold my affliction from those who hate me, Thou who dost lift me up from the gates of death;" Psalm 9:13 NASB and perhaps the imagery in "It is I who says of Cyrus, 'He is My shepherd! And he will perform all My desire.' And he declares of Jerusalem, 'She will be built,' And of the temple, 'Your foundation will be laid.' Thus says the Lord to Cyrus His anointed, Whom I have taken by the right hand, To subdue nations before him, And to loose the loins of kings; To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:" Isaiah 44:28,45:1 NASB? This paraphrase is very common, yet Scripture reference is hard to find, yes? Blessings in Jesus' name, charis |
