KEY OF DAVID

Intelligence Brief

A direct reference to Isaiah 22:22 — God removes Shebna and installs Eliakim, placing "the key of the house of David" on his shoulder. The key represents supreme administrative authority — absolute control over access to the king's household. What he opens, no one shuts; what he shuts, no one opens. Christ alone has authority to grant or deny access to the messianic kingdom and the presence of God. No gatekeeper overrides His decisions. GK: kleida Dauid (κλεῖδα Δαυίδ). HEB: maphteaḥ (מַפְתֵּחַ); beit David (בֵּית דָּוִד). SCIF: Supreme access credentials — the holder controls all entry and exit permissions. No subordinate authority can countermand.
