Bible Question:
Dear saints, Where in the Bible does it say that Jesus tore down the gates of hell? "Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men." Ephesians 4:8 NASB. and "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Matthew 16:18 seem to describe this event, but... Is there a clear Scripture? In Christ Jesus, charis |
Bible Answer: Charis, What do you thin the word prevail means here? Shall not prevail against or triumph over it! Through the Church Christ is "reclaiming" creation. The gates cannot prevail because He through the Church is extending His dominion. I think you can comfortably say there is some tearing down. God Bless. |
