The Key of David
We named our television program The Key of David because this key unlocks the greatest vision in the Bible. Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords. The kings and lords (or priests) under Christ will be those who embrace the key of David vision before Christ’s Second Coming. They will be given the highest positions that will ever be offered to human beings. They will share David’s throne with Jesus Christ. Their rule, under God the Father, will extend over the Earth and the universe forever. Those kings and priests will help the Father and Son bring billions of people into the royal Family of God, which will include most human beings who have ever lived. Understanding this vision will motivate you to overcome your trials and tests—and rejoice as you do so!

Excerpt
What is the key of David? Why is it important?
It is specifically mentioned only two times in the Bible. Yet this key has been central to the Philadelphia Church of God’s beliefs from the beginning of our work in 1989. God inspired us to name our television program The Key of David back in 1993. I was giving sermons and writing articles on this subject even before then. I first published this message as a booklet in 2002. I have expanded it several times over the years, including this present edition, which is the largest version to date.
Why such focus on the key of David?
Our understanding of this subject originated in Revelation 3 and the prophecy of the successive eras of God’s Church. To the messenger of the Philadelphia era, Jesus Christ refers to Himself as “he that hath the key of David” (verse 7). He gave this important prophetic key to that era, which was led by Herbert W. Armstrong. After Mr. Armstrong died in 1986, his successors and most of God’s people threw away that key. But we have held on to it.
Very few people—even those who consider themselves deeply religious—know anything about the key of David. Yet the book you hold in your hands will prove to you how this key actually identifies the one Church that is doing the very Work of God on Earth today!
