The key of David is not the same as the keys of the Kingdom. One key--David's, now Christ's because He is the Heir of David. Two keys, those given to all who are to repent and believe the Gospel. The former is the Scepter by which Jesus Christ rules upon the throne of David. the other two are Conviction and Faith, given by the Holy Spirit and the Word, respectively. Also take note of how only Jesus Christ wields the Key of David, as no man can open or close what He shuts and opens. No man. So where is the Scriptural connection between what the Lord said to St. Peter and the verse you quoted from Revelation?There isn't any, Tony. That's the point. Two different sets of keys. The keys given to Peter in that verse was not the Key of David.
