A phrase in Philippians 3:19 is sometimes translated like this – "They are going to end up in hell.."
To see the literal word for word – https://biblehub.com/interlinear/philippians/3-19.htm – See words #5056 and #684.
Alternate translation – "whose end (TOLL) is destruction/ruin (NOT hell)..."
( https://innermonastery.wordpress.com/2020/04/22/not-hell/ )
That "end" is their end in this life, otherwise it must be believed that there is destruction and ruin in YHWH's eternal Kingdom. Negative things will surely be defeated and put under the feet of Yashua - and notice how that is handled almost gently. Those whose end had been destruction/ruin will be saved "as through fire," something that is become more and more clear to me.
Mat 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.
Read and reread.
Christ's church obviously is not locked up in hell.
Still they are breaking down the gates of hell. That means the saints enter hell. I think that gives a different look on the verse.
Are they there just for the scenery?
