You wrote,[...solwiz...a code...elaborate...looking forward...keys..hell and death...]
The letters in the heading are a code that I use for referrence if I have reason to find a particular post.
Let us go on to what we were discussing as you have asked about the keys. This was at the beginning of finding myself walking on the sand and saw the beast come out of the sea.
The book of revelation is a book of symbols. The book reveals the plan that God has for mankind, the reason for man's existance, what mankind can do here to be in The Kingdom of God, which could bring in the revelation of the keys to hell and death.
When a Jew is directed to Solomon's 666 talents of gold, there is symbolism involved. Solomon was perhaps the richest man ever. But what is a {rich man}? Is a rich man only people like John Rockefeller or Bill Gates or Solomon or you or me? What IS a rich man? Does it matter how much wealth the person has to be designated as being {rich}? Could someone that is broke and owes a lot of money be {rich}?
The book of revelation is about those that are rich. The number 666 is about that. The beast is about that. The sea is about that. All the symbols in the book of revelation are about that. The keys to hell and death are about that. Solomon is about that. 666 is about that. Mystery Babylon is about that. The Lake of Fire is about that.
When I met a Rider on a White Horse, He said to me, "Lou, the love of money is the root of all evil. It is impossible for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God." I asked Him , "What is a rich man?" The Rider said to me," Here is a man who did not make God his strengh; he TRUSTED in the abundance of his riches."
I said to Him, "Then it is not how much one has but as to if one is {trusting} in those material things before God, right?"
The Rider said to me, "Lou, do not lay up for yourself treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourself treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
