When I search the Word of G-d for "Keys" I only find two citations

Matthew 16:19 & Revelation 1:18.

Addressing The citation in Revelation one where the chapter is about the titles and attributes of Yah'shua.

It is clear that Yah'shua has not yet given the keys to the church, but instead they are
promised as a wedding gift to the church in Revelation 19 for use during the Seventh day:
the millennium

shalom b'shem Yah'shua

That’s why proof-texting is a bad idea. “Keys of the kingdom” is the actual expression, and it refers to the authority yielded by an absent king to his vicar, who was called a “regent.” A vicar acts under the authority of another authority, not as his replacement, but does have full authority. Because of this passage, the Pope is referred to as “Vicar of Christ.”

Mind you, Jesus says Peter WILL receive the keys. He was not given them until after the Resurrection (Jesus says, “I am the good shepherd,” but tells Peter, “herd my lambs”.), for Jesus knew that Peter would deny Him three times.
