Matt. 16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

The last part of this statement makes a lot more sense with understand what happened to the Saints prior to the Cross.

God Bless everyone if I don't post to you prior to Resurrection Sunday.

He was separated from God for those three days.

Great question.

But Jesus and God the Father are one.

He went to Hell not as punishment but as a conquest of it. You could think of it as a victory lap.

I've always considered Tolkien's tale of Gandalf against the Balrog to be one of strong echoes of the Christian story. There is fearsome darkness and fire, but they cannot prevail against the light of the righteous in Christ:

'I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.'

It wasn’t a question.

Jesus died for our sins. He died in body and soul.

Tolkien was a practicing Catholic and his Ring trilogy WAS supposed to have religious echoes.

You're the third anti-Detroit person I've heard from.
My mother-in-law was from Detroit. Ahem. 'Nuff said.

Of course. Additionally, as a veteran of WWI, the phrase “they shall not pass” meant a great deal to Tolkien. He was a great artist and was able to take all of the things that meant the most to him during his life and weave them into a great tale. It is suffused with Christian theology, his war experience, and his love for his wife. It’s all one thing, really. It is the tale of what it means to be human.

Seem to remember reading something like The Gospel of Barnabus (not the vampire) or such which related the journey of Jesus after death to Hell and back. Was not allowed into the New Testament.

Is that where this phrase came from ?

“Oh Jesus, you look like Hell”
