"I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it "
" Unless God builds the church them that build build in vain "
The tabernacle in the wilderness was not of Moses own making and imagination but rather it was after the latter he saw in heaven and thus Hods blueprint . Not man's .
It was of such exactitude that any deviation from it brought death .
How can any man learn the Holyness of God if not by it?
" and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" Somehow ithas crept into the churches thinking that it's the gates of hell attacking the church and not prevailing that has taken hold of the people of Gods Indo .
But when has ANY gate attacked snyone?. We are talking about the dates of a walked city here . The gates being the weakest part of the wall are thus the most heavily guarded .
I don't all together understand what that phrase means . But this is certain it is the gates of hell that are in trouble not theChurvh of Jesus Christ .
This though is true . Adam if he had not eaten of 'that'tree would never have died. Jesus could not die nor could "anyone take His ife from Him" But being born under the Law and for sin laid down his life.
Now the death has a sting and it is sin "and the piwer of sin is the Aw " Death couid not keep him out for " He who knew no sin became sin" " open up ye gates.." Death and hell could not keep Him in for he had not sinned Himself .Thus God couid raise aHim from the dead having fulfilled the law .
He tasted death for every man and took out the sting of death . Are we not " Crucified and buried with Christ"?
Is it not written we are raised together with Christ also?
His witnesses must be to His resurrection and a transformed life by not being dead but alive unto God and the darkness over cometh it not . Fir sin has no more dominion over you in Christ . And He in you.
