Hi Family,
What does this verse mean to you?
How do you apply it to your life?
Is it physical, spiritual or both?
Which heaven is it talking about?
Matthew 16:19 - And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
~Natsumi Lam~
Oh it means a number of things. In it's original context it was rabbinic term for the regulation of halaka which was how the commandments would be carried out in ordinary life. It was re-appropriated by Jesus for the ministry of the Apostles, and the Bishops later inherited that ministry after the apostles died.
