I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
16

And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

17

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

18

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

19

Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

20

The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Sheol / The Grave

The verse speaks of having "keys of hell and of death," which implies authority over these concepts rather than describing them as a destination or state of the dead. The speaker's own state is "alive for evermore," contrasting with the state of being dead.
