Every day our chaotic world brings more negative news that may evoke feelings of sadness, sorrow, frustration, anger, and for many, fear in these last days. But we should remember the powerful Word’s of our Lord Jesus:
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. Mat 16:18
Jesus is saying no matter what the enemy is plotting, planning or scheming, ultimately, there is nothing they can do to overcome and conquer the Church. Do you realize that Hell was originally made for the Devil and his angels, not man?
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Mat 25:41
If you want a deeper understanding of what Jesus meant in Mat 16:18 and the story of the bible as a whole, I highly recommend watching the excellent video ‘The Unseen Realm’ below by the late Dr. Michael S. Heiser. In my humble opinion, most Christians today have no understanding of the bigger picture and is the reason for so much of the confusion we see today.

I hope it will be a blessing to you in these perilous times. And remember:
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Rev 3:10
Looking for that Blessed Hope!
