>> especially with regard to the “keys” language in both Mt. 16:20 and Isaiah.<<

The keys language originated with the Jewish practice of appointing “judges” who were in charge of and had the keys to the closet or storage room where all the scriptures and scrolls ie knowledge for living a Godly life and the laws of God were kept. The key unlocked the area that the knowledge to “follow the precepts of God” was stored. The “keys” the apostles received was the knowledge that they were in charge of to distribute to inform people of the gospel of Jesus.

Sorry, the time of Judges was pre-Kingdom of Israel.

Shebna was “steward” in my bible translation. He held an office. The steward could “open and shut” while Peter could “bind and loose”.

I have the Keys and you can't have them. Take a walk. It will not fit anything you think it will fit.

Also don't you have an " off " button. Well push it and take a chill pill.

Maybe use less starch in that collar.

You know once in awhile it's nice to come up for air.

LOL!!!
