“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;”
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David; what he opens no one will shut, and what he shuts no one will open — Philadelphia faces opposition but receives assurance of Christ's exclusive authority. The key of David (Isaiah 22:22) grants Christ sovereign control over access and opportunity; his decisions are irreversible.
