Study Note

The letter to Philadelphia addresses 'the words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens' — the divine authority attributed to Christ combines Isaiah 22:22 (the key of the house of David given to Eliakim) with the absolute finality of Christ's judicial authority. The key of David in Isaiah originally represented administrative authority over the royal household; applied to Christ it becomes the authority to grant or deny access to the messianic kingdom. Philadelphia's 'open door' (verse 8) stands within this context: Christ has set before the community an opportunity for mission or access to divine presence that no human opposition can close. The Philadelphian church is one of only two (with Smyrna) to receive no rebuke in Revelation's seven letters — a community characterized by faithfulness under persecution.
