Psalm 129:2

But I tell you, your name is Peter, a rock, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not subdue it.

I have told you all this, so that through me you may find peace. In the world you have trouble; but take courage! I have conquered the world."

I am hard pressed on every side, but never cut off: perplexed, but not driven to despair;

but they were defeated, and there was no place for them any longer in heaven.
