And the "Rocky" passage: Simone Peter's spiritual revelation was the "rock".
Matthew 16 (NASB)
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi,
He was asking His disciples (saved followers),
“Who do people say that the "Son of Man" is?”
14 And they said,
“Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
(the question for ALL today!)
16 Simon Peter answered,
“You are the Christ, (Divine Messiah) the Son of the living God.”
17 And Jesus said to him,
“Blessed are you, Simon Barjona,
because flesh and blood did not reveal this (spiritual truth) to you,
but My Father who is in heaven.
18 I also say to you that you are Peter (petros=Rocky),
and upon this rock (petra=revelation) I will build My "church" (body of believers);
and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven (FORE-KNOWLEDGE), and whatever you loose on earth shall have been
loosed in heaven.”
20 Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was THE Christ.
Jesus has the "keys'!
Revelation 1:18
and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore,
and I have the keys of death and of Hades.
(and Paradise, the good side of Abraham's Bosom)
Luke 23:43
And He (Jesus on Cross) said to him,
“Truly I say to you, (repentant thief)
today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”
