Keys
Jesus alone holds the keys and control of Death and Hades, and He lives for ever and ever.
Keys denote authority and power. In this instance God does not entrust the power over hell to men, but holds it Himself, as He alone can be trusted.
Hades is the Greek word for hell.
Background Reading:
Revelation 1:17-18
The Keys
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though
dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do
not be afraid.
I am the First and the Last.18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for
ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
