Verse 11 is found in chapter 3 of Revelation. Philadelphia is presented as a community with little strength that has nevertheless kept Christ’s word and not denied his name. The key of David expresses messianic authority and evokes the royal promise of Isaiah 22, while the open door communicates an opportunity that no one can shut. The church faces opposition but receives the promise of preservation and permanent belonging in God’s temple. The language of the new name of God, the name of the new Jerusalem, and the name of Christ emphasizes a transformed and enduring identity.
