To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Again, in speaking of the foundation of His Church, our Lord declared that " the gates of hell {i. E. Hades) shall not prevail against it. " ^ It is not easy to say exactly what these words mean. They probably signify that all the powers of evil — of which death is a symbol — shall fail to destroy the life of the Church. Among these hostile forces are heresies, and all that belongs to spiritual decay and death, as v/ell as the opposing force of those beings who belong to that portion of the spi...rit world which is arrayed against God. The city of God ^ St. Matt. Xi. 23. '^ St. Matt. Xvi. 18. See Job xxxviii. 17, Ps. Ix. 13, Isa. Xxxviii. 10. In the last reference we have ^v tijXuis d5ov, "the gates of hell, " i. E. Hades, Sheol, but in the others the gates of death, irOXai daudrov. 142 The Soitl in the Unseen World is ceaselessly attacked by the city of darkness, but is never conquered, never entirely overthrown. Now here, again, if our Lord had said that the " gates of Gehenna, " instead of the "gates of Hades, " should not prevail against the Church, the idea would have been limited to one department of the nether world, instead of including the whole power of death that is both personified ^ and localised by the word " Hades.
