The Keys of Authority
The Bible says Satan had the power of death—but Jesus conquered him.
Revelation 1:18
Jesus Christ took the keys away from the devil, glory to God! Keys belong to the Authorized One. Those are the keys of authority.
We must remember that physical death is not of God; it is of the enemy. Death is still an enemy. The Bible says it is the last enemy that will be put underfoot.
After stripping the demonic powers of the authority that had been theirs, Christ “made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it” (Col. 2:15)
Paul is stressing the Father’s work in the overthrow of satanic powers and the defeat of Satan himself.
In Ephesians we also saw that the Son is seated above these powers and has the authority of the throne of God. But this is precisely where the church world as a whole has failed. It has understood that Jesus Christ is the Supreme Head of the Church, but it has failed to understand that the Head is totally dependent on the Body for carrying out His plans; that we are seated with Christ in heavenly places; and that His exercising authority over the powers of the air has to be through the Body. Amen
