7 keys to the kingdom of heaven

In the vision, I saw the waist of Jesus with a large belt on it. And the bondage between bride and bridegroom is only THE GOD. Starting with 16, we see Peter answering the question, confirming Jesus as both the Son of God (divine) and the son of God (heir to the throne of David). The gates of hell are trying to stand against the invading church. God has not called you to be stuck in the same place, but we are called to move forward. Realize that you belong to Gods family! And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.” So, like you indicate, this phrasing “the keys to the kingdom of heaven” is interesting. Jesus: My Father revealed this to you. Matthew 16:19 reads, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed in heaven.” This verse tells us what the keys are, they are the agreement(s) of earth with heaven. The Jews would have seen this connection immediately. In the Gospel of Matthew 16:19, Jesus says to Peter, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on Earth shall be loosed in heaven." Like you were lacking authority?

Then Jesus replies with the ever contentious (since the orthodox split at least) verse “You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hades will not prevail against it”. If so, where? God has shown us that without His authority you will never be granted into places that have previously been closed to you.There is nothing more frustrating than needing to get in a door, but finding it locked and the key nowhere to be found.

Gates are not built for offensive purposes, but only for defense. The specific doors Jesus has in mind in this passage are the doors to the Kingdom of Heaven. The man who is second only to the King and rules with the authority of the King in his absence. And our Aim should be to get the ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ by God. 1:6)” This is your moment to take back what the enemy has taken from you and to walk places you have only dreamed!For just $100 per month you can bring the gospel to 10,000 homes. I state as much in the post. It’s like in a magic trick when the magician is waving one hand about, with lots of color, light, and flourishes, that is the time to watch what his other hand is doing. And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven (Mat 16:18) On the testimony, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, Jesus builds His church.As long as His church stays in Him, the gates of hell shall not prevail against His church.

You are to be the foundation of the church I will found. Here is that post: As to your claim about the keys being used to determine moral right and wrong, I don’t see that anywhere in Matthew 16 or Isaiah 22, and although the Jewish people may have understood this as referring to such judgments, they understood then (and even today) that moral judgments are made by God alone and through a proper understanding of what God has said in Scripture.

Jesus is saying that the church will storm the gates of hell, and since Peter has the keys of the kingdom of heaven, the gates of hell will not stay locked. For years, we knew that God had more for us to do.

What is the name of the font you used for the words on it? If they were loosed on earth then they will also loose in heaven. Develop a prayer life! So to run through the whole passage together, it seems that what is happening is this. Peter is given the key to the kingdom of heaven so he can open it and bring people into the kingdom of God, or into the reign of God.Hmm… not 100% sure I’ve got this one all figured out, but I think it makes more sense than how I’ve read it in the past.I think this fits well with what I have been learning about the good news of the kingdom of God that Jesus and his disciples frequently preached. If they were bound on earth then they will also bind in heaven.

I suppose that what you may be missing is a link to the follow-up post where I explain when, where, and how Peter used this key. (Phil. This mission began with Jesus, and He passed the mission on to the apostles, and specifically in Matthew 16:19, to Peter. So be careful. We have been there, Karen and I!
