1 | Jesus gets keys | Rev 1:18 | BCharo | 122271 | ||
Where in the bible does it tell us that Jesus got or would get the keys to death hell and the grave. I know in revelation it say that he has them but when did he get them and was it stated earlier that he would? when he died on the cross did it not say that he went to Hell (maybe I am confused in the story) someone asked me the question and said that it states it in two places in the bible and were unable to locate it | ||||||
2 | Jesus gets keys | Rev 1:18 | Emmaus | 122272 | ||
BCharo, Keys are the symbol of authority over death and the grave demonstrated by Jesus' Resurrection. He always had the authority, but it was demonstared in the resuurection and even before that in the cases where he was the dead like Lazarus and the son of the widow of of Nain and the little girl of a "ruler." The keys are not literal, just as they are not literal in Matt 16:18 when Jesus says He will give Peter the keys of the kingdom. They symbolize authority. Rev 1:18 and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. Emmaus |
