Bible Question: I know it says in the bible that Jesus holds the keys to death and hell, but i remember in sunday school being told that jesus physically went to hell and took the keys from death himself. What i was looking for is any scriptural reference to this event if infact it occured, any help would e very appreciated. |
Bible Answer: Hello friend, I suppose you may be referring to Rev.1:18 when you speak of the "keys of death and hell". I believe the short answer is no, Jesus did not go get the keys from death himself in hell. It is my understanding at this time that the keys are a representation of Christ's authority and victory over death, hell, and the grave. In Rev.6:7,8 you can see "death" personified as the rider of the pale horse, and he has "some authority", but only what God allows. On the subject of keys representing authority, also check out Isa.22:22 and Mt.16:19. One thing is for sure, Jesus HAS the Keys of death and hell, and I'm so thankful He does! Finally, don't take my word as gospel, check out what I say against the Book of God. I pray this helps out some. Stay in the Word. theodas 2 Tim. 2:7 |
