Prayer and Divine ResponsePrayer and Divine Response — Revelation 3:7-9
we see Jesus describing Himself as "he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth". In contemporary English, the word, "openeth" becomes "opens"; and the word, "shutteth" becomes "shuts". These two words are in the present continuous tense.The implication is that…
(7) And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; (8) I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. (9) Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.Revelation 3:7-9 · KJV
