Gates:
"Gates are a defensive weapon; their purpose is to keep the enemy from entering the city. Gates can only work if the enemy attacks. If the enemy never attacks, what use are gates? They become nothing more than decorations.
"But they have done their job, have they not? If they enemy never attacks, then the gates have worked perfectly; they kept the enemy at bay. If the enemy never attacks, the gates have done precisely what they were built to do. The gates have defeated the enemy; the gates have prevailed.
"This gives new light to Matt. 16:18 when Christ says the gates of Hell cannot stand against His church. The verse assumes we are on the offensive, that we are storming Satan's stronghold to rescue the perishing captives. If we are not, then the gates have in fact prevailed over us. Much more to our shame then, for if we had but mobilized, the gates should be trampled under our feet."
