“And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.”
Revelation 9:1 KJV
Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that fell from heaven to earth, and he was handed the key to the shaft leading down to the pit of the deep. Jesus is the One Who holds the keys of death and Hades, for He unlocked both and walked out triumphantly in resurrection power. Many things are opened in Revelation - heaven, doors, books - with the purpose of releasing a new understanding. There is a deep place in the human heart, like a pit, that Jesus opens so that we can see what has been there inside us. Jesus gave this revelation to John the beloved disciple who witnessed Jesus on the Cross, at the receiving end of the depth of the evil of the human heart, when He died. But thanks be to God that He rose victorious having conquered death and Hades and every depravity of the human heart. Hallelujah!
