The gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it

Christ Jesus reigns on the Church founded on the rock that is Peter. As Satan did not prevail over him, so he will not prevail over his body, until we remain in his body. Outside the body of Christ it is the kingdom of darkness. Hades will always prevail outside. The Apocalypse describes the definitive defeat of Satan. He will be in the pool of fire for eternity. Together with him all those who let themselves be deceived by his lie.
When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison. He will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. They invaded the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the holy ones and the beloved city. But fire came down from heaven and consumed them. The Devil who had led them astray was thrown into the pool of fire and sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet were. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Next I saw a large white throne and the one who was sitting on it. The earth and the sky fled from his presence and there was no place for them. I saw the dead, the great and the lowly, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. Then another scroll was opened, the book of life. The dead were judged according to their deeds, by what was written in the scrolls. The sea gave up its dead; then Death and Hades gave up their dead. All the dead were judged according to their deeds. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the pool of fire. (This pool of fire is the second death.) Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the pool of fire (Rev 20,7-15).
Who is Peter then in relationship with the Church? It is He who must always indicate to the Church and to the world the true Christ and the true body of Christ, the true Church of Christ that is only the one founded on Him. Other churches may also exist because of baptism, but they are deficient in many things. They lack either the fullness of grace (they are all those without apostolic succession) or they lack the full light of the truth that guides them. They lack the One who must always indicate the true Christ, his true Word, his true doctrine and his true Spirit. When either the fullness of truth, light and true Christ or the fullness of grace is lacking, true humanity, true holiness and true conformation to Christ Crucified will also necessarily be lacking. The great saints that in the true Church always upset history, turn it upside down, orient it to the truth of the Crucified and Risen Christ attest to it. These events cannot happen except on the Church founded on Peter. It is in it that the Holy Spirit works in the fullness of his gifts. On the other hand, how can a gift of the Holy Spirit ripen its fruits without the true Eucharist? How does a good tree manage to grow without the true water of the Holy Spirit, which is its conducting to the whole truth, since the truth of the Word of Jesus is denied? How can I manage to understand Scripture without Tradition and Magisterium?
When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Today we live in a time where no differences of any kind are desired. All that distinguishes must be abolished. It can also be abolished, cancelled by the satanic will of man. However, the eternal and divine law that no one might ever repeal remains. Since the fruits of salvation ripen only in obedience to the Divine law, this Law is taken away and so is salvation. Without salvation the truth
of man is missing, which is only from obedience to the Eternal law of the Lord. It is an eternal divine disposition. God only obeys his truth. The truth is abolished, we work for the death of man.
Mother of God, Angels and Saints arrange that every Christian works for true life in Christ.
