THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE KEYS OF HADES AND DEATH

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your edification and empowernent at such a time as this. I am delighted to share and teach about: "THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE KEYS OF HADES AND DEATH." The Bible says, " I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades  and of Death." The key here signifies the power and authority over life, death, and the grave. ...We should understand hades here, not as hell, nor the place of separate spirits, but merely as the 'grave'; and the key we find to be merely the emblem of power and authority.  ( Matthew 28:18) Christ can both save and destroy, can kill and make alive. Death is still under His dominion, and He can recall the dead whatsoever He pleases. He is 'the resurrection and the life"' Did Jesus Fight Satan for the Keys to death and hell? Satan  didn't fight Jesus for the keys over death and hell, as not only did he not possess the keys in the first place, but he also didn't understand the significance of Jesus' sacrifice until the Son of God had died. Through His blood sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary, Jesus Christ paid the bond price for our sins and thereby saved us from eternal damnation at the hands of our enemy, Satan.( John 3:16-21, Romans 8:1-11) Additionally, by conquering the grave, Jesus not only claimed His authority over death, but He also opened the gates of heaven by offering us the gift of salvation, thus enabling us to live in eternal righteousness with God.( 2 Corinthians 5:15-21). However, did Satan actually have authority over death and hell, and, if so, did Jesus fight Satan for these keys in order to free us? Satan only caused death to occur in the garden of Eden, but did not have authority over death and hell. It is Jesus who possesses the Keys to Death and Hell.( Revelation 1:17-18, Matthew 28:18).  God created Hell for Satan and His Angels. Satan originally abode in heaven as an angel by the name of Lucifer, which means " star of the morning." However, he rebelled against God, and consequently, was thrown out of heaven along with his angelic followers. I don't have to go deeper on this one, because we all know how Satan fell from God's favour according to( Isaiah 14:12)  2 Peter 2: 4 also explains that God sent these spiritual rebels to hell. ( Matthew 25:41) One can conclude from these scriptures, and more, that Satan didn't possess hell, and by association,  its assumption  as a place for the dead. Rather, God created hell to keep the devil at bay  until his final judgement in Revelation 20:10. You may also wish to know that the unsaved are also destined for hell. Although, God created hell as a holding place for Satan and his followers, the Bible records incidents where humans went to hell as punishment for denying Him. ( Numbers 16:32-33, Romans 8:13) I hope my explanation and teaching on this subject has enlightened you. We are approaching Good Friday when we will be remembering and reviving our memories on Christ's suffering and death on the cross, which is a critical moment for all Christian believers throughout the world. Therefore repent before it's too late, Jesus is coming very soon. Seek the Lord while He can still be found, and call unto Him while He is still near!( Isaiah 55:6) Remember, He said "It is finished" when He died on the cross!,( John 19:30) Everything which is bothering you or worrying you, is finished on the Cross. It shall be well with you, because good news is your portion this year. Good news is also my portion! Stay blessed and protected by the blood of Jesus Christ.

May God richly bless you!
