Keys to the Kingdom, Part 4
"On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 16:18-19)
Over the last few articles we have been exploring the implications of Yeshua's instruction to Peter in Matthew 16:18-19. In this passage, Yeshua tells Simon Peter he will given him the "keys of the kingdom of heaven." In order to understand what these keys are, we first need understand a bit about what the Kingdom is. What is the Kingdom? Is it heaven? Or is it something else?
