Building The Temple - Herbert W Armstrong - February 14, 1981

Herbert W Armstrong

Jesus said, in Matthew 16:18 I will build my church, and the gates of hell [which should be translated "the gates of the grave." That's what He meant. And the word "hell" there is Hades, which simply means the grave. It doesn't mean the kind of hell that Dante thought it meant.] shall not prevail against it. Satan has done everything he could to destroy this Church. He tried to destroy it before it got started, by destroying the Christ-child right after Jesus was born. He tried to kill the very Founder of the Church again, when Christ reached the age of thirty, just before He began His mission. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
