“And to the angel of the church in
Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who
has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one
opens.
- · Jesus invited the faithful in the Church of Philadelphia to have positions of honor in His eternal government over the earth related to their obedience in this age.
- · Rev. 3:7-13 is based on the prophecy that Isaiah gave about Shebna, King Hezekiah's chief leader being removed from his government position to be replaced by Eliakim (Isa 22:15-25). God promised to place on Eliakim’s shoulder the “key to the house of David” so he could open and shut the doors of the royal resources to release God’s will in the kingdom of Israel.
Isaiah 22:22 The key
of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; so he shall open, an no one
shall shut; and he shall shut, and no one shall open.
Job 12:14 If He breaks a thing down, it cannot be
rebuilt, if He imprisons a man, there can be no release.
