Matthew 16:18, Jesus Christ founded His Church and promised it would be defended from within and from without as He said, "...and the Gates of Hell shall NOT prevail against it." This is a guarantee of perpetuity for His Church. All of those who enjoy kicking His Holy Body the Church will not prevail.
Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 16:15, Jesus commanded His followers to make
disciples of all nations, teaching them all that He has commanded them, and that He would be with His Church all days in every century until the end of the world.
Isa 40:11, John 10:16, John 17:20-21, Rom 16:17, Eph 4:3-6, 1Pet 2:25, Jesus Christ commanded that His Church must be ONE.
Eph 3:20-21, He who is able to accomplish all things, will be Glorified in his Church, and in Jesus Christ down through 'ALL THE AGES OF TIME WITHOUT END'. I would say this guarantees again, the perpetuity of the Church which Jesus Christ founded, wouldn't you agree?
Messianic Judaism teaches that the Christian Church was destroyed after its brief establishment in Palestine. Others claim that it was destroyed at the time of Constantine. I believe this is a satanic doctrine which is contrary to the Scriptures and the historical reality of Christian history. Jesus has promised the Holy Spirit to the Church in every era and historical period. The promises of Jesus are sure and to be trusted.
