In the Assembly we would sing a song-- He opened up the gates of righteousness for me. Ps. 118:19-20. That righteousness is a imputed righteousness. read Rom. 4:11, 22-24. simply Jesus paid the price to make us righteous from the law. Our sins are forgiven and we must continue to walk in righteousness.
Job 38:17 We see here that death and the shadow of death are called in a figure doors. Life enters into death.
Ps. 107:18 In affliction they don't want to eat which draws them near unto gates of death. May infer Sheol but the gates are death. v14 shows us figures of bands. v.16 now it's brass and bars. also a figure.
Ps. 24:7-10. Ever see a gate lift up it's head? In a figure.

Look at Acts 5:18-25 read that and then see v.23. The prison was emptied without use of keys. Nothing was changed except now they are on the street preaching Jesus. Jesus doesn't need keys. He is the God of power and authority. Before the cross they called him son of God. also the Holy one Mk.1:24 the devil called him Holy one. Acts 2:27 Jesus the Holy one shall not see corruption. How could he be Holy and be a sinner? Not possible.

Ps. 9:13-15 v.13 to be lift up cannot mean on the way down here. That is while falling down towards sheol, To be lifted up is a figure that he wouldn't go down to Sheol. There is much more figures but hope you can see that Jesus can do anything without literal keys, and doesn't have to fight Satan to take keys away. Righteousness is the key to heaven which Jesus purchased to allow entrance to heaven. Ps. 24:7-9 everlasting doors are the entrance and the key is the blood of Jesus. to eternal life.
Doors on earth cannot last a trillion years. These doors are in eternity and are a figure of the truth. It is the entrance into eternity which is a literal habitation.

The point is Isa. 22:21-22 and Rev. 3:7. The house of David is a figure of a family being a house H1004 Jesus --son of David will be heir of the house and have the authority as King. shoulder will be figure of carry the burden of authority. That is also called a key--figure.

faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.
