What Eternal Kingdom? Matthew 16:13-19
2
13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" 14 So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." 15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" 16 Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17 Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

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. 19 "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Matthew 16:13-18

A longer question from our Q & A format According to the world, outside of the church, it appears that the Church of Christ is a result of the Reformation and that we are a relatively young religious group. Where did Christianity thrive between the time of the early church and the 1800’s when we go “on record”? Was it up to missionaries to start/maintain congregations until Bibles became available in their language? Explain the strength/weakness/ spread of the church outside of the “holy land” area.
