And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
httpsMatthew 16://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2016%3A18&version=NIV18 NIV
Gates keep people from passing both ways. Is Christ saying that his Church will break down the gates and set the captives free per His inaugural synagogue speech reading from Isaiah 61?
