Hmm. Let's see now...the Thayer's Greek Lexicon, in reference to the phrase "prevail against" says the following:
κατισχύω:
imperfect κατίσχυον; future κατισχύσω; 1
aorist subjunctive 2
person plural κατισχύσητε (
Luke 21:36 T Tr text WH); the Sept. mostly for חָזַק; among Greek writings especially by Polybius, Diodorus, Dionysius Halicarnassus; properly,
to be strong to another's detriment, to prevail against; to be superior in strength; to overpower: followed by an infinitive,
Luke 21:36 T Tr text WH (prevail (i. e. have full strength) to escape etc.); to overcome, τίνος (
Jeremiah 15:18),
Matthew 16:18 (meaning, 'not even the gates of Hades — than which nothing was supposed to be stronger — shall surpass the church in strength'); absolutely, to prevail (i. e. succeed, accomplish one's desire):
Luke 23:23.
Now, when we look at this in relation to the antichrist:
Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him (the Beast) to make war with the saints, and
to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
The latter is the antithesis to the former. So, to make sure I understand you, it's your belief that the Church will simply be stripped of the former promise, even if that prevalence was only a reference to the Rock upon which the Church is built? In other words, that Rock will no longer be under the feet of the Church, leaving her subject to the power of antichrist?
Just trying to wrap my mind around your thinking. If this is traipsing into an arena not allowed in open discussion, we can take this to PM's if you like.
