We Went to the GATES OF HELL. You Won’t Believe What We Found!

Standing in Caesarea Philippi, Jesus declares:

"And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it! (‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭18‬)"

For centuries, people have debated what Jesus really means when he says these words.

Is he building his church upon Peter?
Does this mean that Satan cannot prevail over the church?
What do all these terms like “rock” and “gates of hell” really mean?

Well, this is one of those moments where the place where Jesus is teaching makes a HUGE difference when trying to understand a passage.
And today, I’m going to teach you some things about Caesarea Philippi that will forever change the way you see the words of Jesus that we just read.

So, if you want to learn more, then let’s dive into today’s lesson in this episode of Misreading Scripture

Misreading Scripture is a series that takes common scriptures and helps you to see them with a new set of eyes. Many of these are scriptures we have been innocently misinterpreting. And once we gain insight into the culture and context of the passage, all of a sudden it becomes clear in an entirely new way.

My husband and I went to Ceaseria Pilipia (sp) when we went to Israel. I had been diagnosed with PTSD from childhood and adult abuse. I had severe anxiety. When I was standing by that Cave and realized that Pan was the "god" of panic. I knew he DID NOT rule over me. From that time in 2012 to this YESHUA has been healing me. I take very little if any anxiety meds. Praise Yeshua.

Brother I have been guilty of reading some of my scriptures too fast; especially if I assume I understand it. I'm grateful when you nudge me to look a little deeper. Thank you for all you do. I know even though I am your father's age, I am a work in progress. I hope I am not stepping out of place to ask if we all pray for Brandon from The Snipe Life. I believe he is weary and needs our prayers. 🙏

Great video! I'd also recommend Dr. Michael Heiser's book "Reversing Hermon" for even more details regarding this topic.

Thankyou for digging deeper into the Word of God. It never ceases to amaze me, the importance of rightly dividing the Word of Truth. Your video has enhanced my perception of what our Master was teaching His disciples. I'm one of those, who has forgotten about the strength He gives to His Church. I find it too easy to be distracted by the enemy's schemes. I covet your prayers, Brother, to stay focused on the path He has ordained for me to walk.

On my trip to Israel, this stop was one of my favorite ah ha moments. Bells went off in my soul and the life in the Word became visceral. The depths of debauchery were being directly challenged by Jesus and these 12 young disciples. He wanted them to see the physical and spiritual fight they were getting involved in. We are fighting the same fight armored with the same truth. Its not time to back down, but push forward. Wreak havoc on the gates of hell. Overcome evil with good. Thank you for the beautiful object lesson Pastor 😘

Yup, I have been there!! Just reading the word does not give you an understanding of what an evil place it was!
