The Second Commandment-Exodus 20:4-5 You shall have no other gods before Me.  You shall not make yourself a carved image nor any likeness of that which is in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the water beneath the earth.  You shall not prostrate yourself to nor worship them, for I am the LORD your God--a jealous God.

What is the key of David?  We know that Yeshua is the root and offspring of David.  Let's look at David, a man after God's own heart.  Why were the angels sent to the churches in the book of Revelation, the church of Philadelphia in particular to introducing the person who sent the message as the One who is holy, true and has the key of David?  What would be David's key that the holy and true One possesses? 
When we look to one of the psalms that David wrote 119th we get more details.  This poem contains every letter of the Hebrew alefbeit, the 22 stanzas for each of the 22 Hebrew letters.  This is an acrostic poem that is in alphabetical order for each stanza grouping.  Each line in that stanza begins with the same letter for the stanza. Depending on the translation of the Bible you are using, each section will contain a letter in Hebrew.  The psalm has David writing about his love for the Torah, Yahweh's teaching and instructions, rulings, His word or Davar Elohim.  This is why David was a man after God's own heart. Yeshua is the Word made flesh and the Torah is Yahweh's word.  The key of David is the Torah.

As Yeshua speaks to the church in Philadelphia, they receive the highest praise of the seven that receive the angel's message, tells us about the key of David and Yeshua has it.  We have to take a look why this has so much impact--what do we learn about David in this psalm and how does this relate to the book of Revelation?  This book is the revelation of Jesus Christ.  This is the last book is the word of Almighty God and gives more details on His plan.  David spelled in Hebrew has the numerical equivalent of 1732 which is the value of beloved.  The bride and the spirit says come--this is the marriage of God to His bride. This is the discovery of the church to it's Hebraic roots.  The bride was to make herself ready and all who will embrace the Torah be be His bride.  She is to be spiritually mature in the Torah--Yahweh alone knows the status of her maturity.  David was a man after God's own heart--what is God's heart?  The Torah.

The seven days of creation and the seven feast days of Yahweh are a reflection of His great and awesome plan that He has for us.  We have been given His day of rest and times to come before Him in celebration or fasting and prayer.  As He ordered, created and set forth all things from the beginning, He did the same for the feast days.  The number 8 that is prevalent in the 119th Psalm is looking to the new beginning, of the new heaven and new earth.  That is for our eternal time with Him as the bride of Christ. In this eternal time we would be rejoicing over the Torah as we would on Simchat Torah--joy of Torah the day observed after the end of the feast of Tabernacles.  As David rejoiced in the Torah in Psalm 119, which is his key, we too as the body of Christ are rejoicing and others also will come to understand the joy of His instruction and it's protection in our obedience to His original plan and purpose.  As the bride of Christ we also identify with David for he has the key, the Torah which is written in our hearts and in our minds.  Click here to listen again.
