Who Has The Key -Revelation 3:7

Revelation 3:7 ESV
7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘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.

He who has the key of David is the key that has opened the door to heaven. He is the key and has the keys of life. He has made a way where there was not a way. He is holy and true because He is from God and is God. To Him it is given to judge heaven and earth. He will do so with justice and all righteousness and will be merciful to all who seek His mercy.
Even the demons recognized Him, yet so many do not. Many share the position of demons in their rejection of the Holy One of God. In doing so, they will also share their end.

After that he must be released for a little while.
