Matthew 16:18\nThe phrase the \u201cgates of hell\u201d is translated in some versions as the \u201cgates of Hades.\u201d \u201cGates of hell\u201d or \u201cgates of\nHades\u201d is found only once in the entire Scriptures, in Matthew 16:18. In this passage, Jesus is referring to the\nbuilding of His church: \u201cAnd I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell\nshall not prevail against it\u201d (Matthew 16:18).\nAt that time Jesus had not yet established His church. In fact, this is the first instance of the word church in the New\nTestament. The word church, as used by Jesus, is derived from the Greek ekklasia, which means the \u201ccalled out\u201d or\n\u201cassembly.\u201d In other words, the church that Jesus is referencing as His church is the assembly of people who have\nbeen called out of the world by the gospel of Christ.\nBible scholars debate the actual meaning of the phrase \u201cand the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.\u201d One of\nthe better interpretations to the meaning of this phrase is as follows. In ancient times, the cities were surrounded\nby walls with gates, and in battles the gates of these cities would usually be the first place their enemies assaulted.\nThis was because the protection of the city was determined by the strength or power of its gates.\nAs such, the \u201cgates of hell\u201d or \u201cgates of Hades\u201d means the power of Hades. The name \u201cHades\u201d was originally the\nname of the god who presided over the realm of the dead and was often referred to as the \u201chouse of Hades.\u201d It\ndesignated the place to which everyone who departs this life descends, regardless of their moral character. In the\nNew Testament, Hades is the realm of the dead, and in this verse Hades or hell is represented as a mighty city with\nits gates representing its power.\nJesus refers here to His impending death. Though He would be crucified and buried, He would rise from the dead\nand build His church. Jesus is emphasizing the fact that the powers of death could not hold Him in. Not only would\nthe church be established in spite of the powers of Hades or hell, but the church would thrive in spite of these\npowers. The church will never fail, though generation after generation succumbs to the power of physical death,\nyet other generations will arise to perpetuate the church. And it will continue until it has fulfilled its mission on\nearth as Jesus has commanded:\n65 From THE LIVE RAGGED EDGE RADIO BROADCAST/SHATTER LIVE TV WEBINAR RUSS DIZDAR \xa9\n\u201cAll authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Spiritually, according to Matthew 25:41, hell is a place prepared for the devil\nand demons and its final resting place of torment, forever.\nHades, however, means \u201cunderworld\u2019, a place of death. In Greek mythology, which was very popular in Jesus\u2019s day,\nHade\u2019s responsibility was to govern and rule the underworld and death. His two brothers were Zeus and Poseidon.\nZeus, was the supreme ruler on earth and Poseidon, was the ruler of the waters. Together, these three made up a\ntriune rulership over the universe.\nHades and the Ekklesia\nHades then represents, the domain of Satan, and the kingdom of darkness, because all things that contribute to death\nare part of Satan\u2019s realm having his influence in every sphere of society.\nThis gives the Ekklesia greater clarity about its role and assignment.\nPicture Jesus standing with his young disciples in this dark, demonically infested region, pointing to the Gates of\nHades as the target of His Ekklesia!\nIn full view of these Gates, Jesus provides the mission and mandate of His Ekklesia. He was very strategic and made\nsure he took the twelve to this exact point so there would be no misinterpretation or confusion about what He is\ncalling them to do. Christ\u2019s Ekklesia is to co-labor with Him to access the Gates of Hades and bring heaven to earth.\nThe Gates of Hades represents all that opposes God\u2019s will. Crime, corruption, lying, sexual immorality, pornography,\nungodly ways of doing business, humanism, abortion, to name a few. All these, and more, have come out of these\ngates into our society. Our responsibility is co-labor with Jesus and bring the gospel to these \u201cgates,\u201d redeeming and\nreclaiming lives and systems.\nJesus Enters These Very Gates First\nWhat must be noted here is that upon Jesus\u2019 death and resurrection, He enters through these very gates ahead of\nHis disciples. The Bible says that Jesus passed into Hades, preached salvation, and defeated death, \nhttps://duckduckgo.com/?q=song+of+victory+for+the+church&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DQeQKIgip2g0
