What does the Bible say about Jesus having the key of David?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Jesus, as the greater David, holds the key of David, signifying His authority to open and shut doors of mercy and governance.

In Revelation 3:7-8, Jesus is described as having the key of David, which symbolizes His ultimate authority and power over the kingdom of God. This key metaphor is rooted in Isaiah 22:22, where the authority to open and shut doors is endowed upon the one who governs God’s people. The fact that Jesus holds this key signifies His sovereign control over all things, affirming that He alone can grant access to God’s mercy. This key opens the door of mercy to sinners and confirms Christ’s role as the ruler who sustains and maintains His church through all trials and adversities, ensuring that what He opens, no man can shut.
