[Mrs. Don-o]

I just did a User Search on ealgeone followed by a word search for key. The only "key" you've mentioned in the last several days is "donkey." (You were quoting something about coveting your neighbor's donkey.)

Livestock aside, you did not answer my question about the significance of the "keys" in Matthew 16.

Relying on the Biblical passage in Isaiah 22 about the keys being taken away from the Master of the King's Household, Shebna, and given to his replacement, the new viceroy Eliakim, I would say the keys represented his office as the King's chief officer.

That makes sense, doesn't it?
