Rev 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Rev 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Isa 22:22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Key to the house of David. We know that David was one of the men chosen by God for a very special purpose. David was not without fault, but He loved God, in spite of his own human failings. He loved God and sought forgiveness, repenting of his sins. Serving God meant everything to David. David's heart was towards God, and God's toward David. The key to the house of David.
Psa_30:1 A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
The house of David.
2Sa 5:11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.
The house of David, was symbolically the house of his descendants, yes? If you hear that someone is from the house of your grandfather, you would assume and rightly so that it means they descend from his house. If a person could trace their ancestry back far enough they may find they come from a certain house ( a certain family ).
Jesus descended from the house of David.
Luk_1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
Mat 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
Rev 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Jesus- Holy, True, Key of David, Opening No Man Shuts, Shuts and No Man opens. Jesus alone has such power. Jesus speaks to the next angel, the angel of the sixth church- Philadelphia- as He has spoken to all the angels of the churches, instructing John to write it all down for us, and for all His followers throughout time from the moment it was written and given to them.
Rev 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Jesus knows our works- our actions, our lives. Jesus has put before us an open door-- the way, the narrow path we are to follow, the way we are to go, the door we are to knock upon that is opened to those who are HIS. Truly all of humanity have little strength. We realize that we are dependent upon the Savior's strength. We keep HIS word, we do NOT deny HIS name.
Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
There are those who are not Jesus', who do not want to belong to Him but instead belong to the synagogue of Satan. These pretend to belong to God, but it's a lie. The truth isn't in them. They are of those who think they belong to Christ but will hear Him say that He doesn't know them. They can cry out about all the wonderful things they've done in His name, but it won't matter because they used His name without ever knowing Him, without Him ever knowing them.
Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Keeping the word of Jesus' patience, this is what we must keep.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Rev 1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Col 1:11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness
Heb 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Heb 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Jas 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Jas 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
Jas 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Jas 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
Jas 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Jesus will come quickly, truly He will.
Rev 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Rev 3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
A pillar in the temple of God, never having to ever leave God's presence again. A new name written upon us, the name of God. The name of the city of God- new Jerusalem which will come down from heaven from God. We get a new name! Let us hear the Spirit speaking to the churches! Please, let us hear!
