“ What I’m about to tell you is true. What you lock on earth will be locked in heaven. What you unlock on earth will be unlocked in heaven.

The Lord will give Eliakim the key of authority in David’s royal house. No one can shut what he opens. And no one can open what he shuts.

If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

I am the Living One. I was dead. But now look! I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys to Death and Hell.

Anyone you forgive I also forgive. Was there anything to forgive? If so, I have forgiven it for your benefit, knowing that Christ is watching.

“ Here is what I command you to write to the church in Philadelphia. Here are the words of Jesus, who is holy and true. He holds the key of David. No one can shut what he opens. And no one can open what he shuts. He says,

So when you come together, I will be with you in spirit. The power of our Lord Jesus will also be with you.When you come together like this, hand this man over to Satan. Then the power of sin in his life will be destroyed. His spirit will be saved on the day the Lord returns.

The fifth angel blew his trumpet. Then I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the tunnel leading down into a bottomless pit. The pit was called the Abyss.

These witnesses have power to close up the sky. Then it will not rain while they are prophesying. They also have power to turn the waters into blood. And they can strike the earth with every kind of plague. They can do this as often as they want to.

Suppose someone refuses to accept our teaching. They are not turning their back on us. They are turning their back on God. This same God gives you his Holy Spirit.

After they had talked it over, Peter got up and spoke to them.“ Brothers,” he said,“ you know that some time ago God chose me. He appointed me to take the good news to the Gentiles. He wanted them to hear the good news and believe.

Then Peter stood up with the 11 apostles. In a loud voice he spoke to the crowd.“ My fellow Jews,” he said,“ let me explain this to you. All of you who live in Jerusalem, listen carefully to what I say.You think these people are drunk. But they aren’t. It’s only nine o’clock in the morning!No, here is what the prophet Joel meant.He said,“‘ In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Holy Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will have dreams.In those days, I will pour out my Spirit on my servants. I will pour out my Spirit on both men and women. When I do, they will prophesy.I will show wonders in the heavens above. I will show signs on the earth below. There will be blood and fire and clouds of smoke.The sun will become dark. The moon will turn red like blood. This will happen before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’( Joel 2:28–32)“ Fellow Israelites, listen to this! Jesus of Nazareth was a man who had God’s approval. God did miracles, wonders and signs among you through Jesus. You yourselves know this.Long ago God planned that Jesus would be handed over to you. With the help of evil people, you put Jesus to death. You nailed him to the cross.But God raised him from the dead. He set him free from the suffering of death. It wasn’t possible for death to keep its hold on Jesus.David spoke about him. He said,“‘ I know that the Lord is always with me. Because he is at my right hand, I will always be secure.So my heart is glad and joy is on my tongue. My whole body will be full of hope.You will not leave me in the place of the dead. You will not let your holy one rot away.You always show me the path that leads to life. You will fill me with joy when I am with you.’( Psalm 16:8–11)“ Fellow Israelites, you can be sure that King David died. He was buried. His tomb is still here today.But David was a prophet. He knew that God had made a promise to him. God had promised that he would make someone in David’s family line king after him.David saw what was coming. So he spoke about the Messiah rising from the dead. He said that the Messiah would not be left in the place of the dead. His body wouldn’t rot in the ground.God has raised this same Jesus back to life. We are all witnesses of this.Jesus has been given a place of honor at the right hand of God. He has received the Holy Spirit from the Father. This is what God had promised. It is Jesus who has poured out what you now see and hear.David did not go up to heaven. But he said,“‘ The Lord said to my Lord,“ Sit at my right hand.I will put your enemies under your control.” ’( Psalm 110:1)“ So be sure of this, all you people of Israel. You nailed Jesus to the cross. But God has made him both Lord and Messiah.”When the people heard this, it had a deep effect on them. They said to Peter and the other apostles,“ Brothers, what should we do?”Peter replied,“ All of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then your sins will be forgiven. You will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.The promise is for you and your children. It is also for all who are far away. It is for all whom the Lord our God will choose.”Peter said many other things to warn them. He begged them,“ Save yourselves from these evil people.”Those who accepted his message were baptized. About 3,000 people joined the believers that day.The believers studied what the apostles taught. They shared their lives together. They ate and prayed together.

Then Peter began to speak.“ I now realize how true it is that God treats everyone the same,” he said.“ He accepts people from every nation. He accepts anyone who has respect for him and does what is right.You know the message God sent to the people of Israel. It is the good news of peace through Jesus Christ. He is Lord of all.You know what has happened all through the area of Judea. It started in Galilee after John preached about baptism.You know how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Jesus went around doing good. He healed all who were under the devil’s power. God was with him.“ We are witnesses of everything he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by nailing him to a cross.But on the third day God raised him from the dead. God allowed Jesus to be seen.But he wasn’t seen by all the people. He was seen only by us. We are witnesses whom God had already chosen. We ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.He commanded us to preach to the people. He told us to tell people that he is the one appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.All the prophets tell about him. They say that all who believe in him have their sins forgiven through his name.”

I saw an angel coming down out of heaven. He had the key to the Abyss. In his hand he held a heavy chain.He grabbed the dragon, that old serpent. The serpent is also called the devil, or Satan. The angel put him in chains for 1,000 years.Then he threw him into the Abyss. He locked it and sealed him in. This was to keep Satan from causing the nations to believe his lies anymore. Satan will be locked away until the 1,000 years are ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
