Christ’s Church will be with us until the end of the world (”the gates of hell will not prevail against it.”)

Christ never said the gates of hell would never prevail against the Church.

Plus, prevail does not mean never overcome. I also means, ultimate victory. As in the Allies prevailed in WW2, but they didn't win every battle.

Dan 2 make it clear that after the great kingdoms of the earth are passed, He would setup His kingdom that WOULDN'T be destroyed.

Dan 2
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.


If your assumption is correct why would God give this prophecy? It would be completely pointless unless He were foretelling of the recreation of His kingdom(Church) after it had been destroyed.

And that would be MORMONism; right?
