As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
On my daily Bible verse there appeared the following verse in the Apostle Matthew as Inspired by the Holy Ghost, recording the Words of Christ to the Apostle Peter in the Authority Christ granted to all Christians.
Apostle Matthew Chapter 16
19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
The depths of this verse is not fully understood and this is an examination of the Power Christ has bestowed on the Faithful in the thoroughness of God.
The first words are TO LOOSE, an action, but this is not just another untying of a shoe string, or letting a bird fly free. The type of LOOSING that Christ is defining is to go against the rules of law, of things set in Newton law as set in stone, to break, shatter, obliterate, so that TO LOOSE prevails, over everything else.
To Loose is Christ walking on water, ascending into Heaven, rising from the dead. There are absolutely no limits to this loosing, and this loosing is so complete that everything else vanishes, has absolutely no bearing or authority on this Authority.
The Miracles of Christ are To Loose, the Creation of all from nothing is To Loose, this is not an altering event, but an event which defines everything and everything else gone.

Cross ReferencesIsaiah 22:22
"Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, When he opens no one will shut, When he shuts no one will open.
Matthew 18:18
Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
John 20:23
If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld."
Revelation 1:18
the Living One. I was dead, and behold, now I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of Death and of Hades.
Revelation 3:7
To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the One who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens, no one will shut; and what He shuts, no one will open.
The next word is KEY, which is beyond the type of key you think of in just opening a lock, but it is also to SHUT, so permanently, that it is welded, frozen, unable to be opened, a fused, an absolute. There is absolutely not any way to open this as it as if there never was an opening, and there is not any way to place a barrier in this, as it is forever open.
That is the Authority of the KEY, an absolute once open in Christ it stays open and once shut in Christ, it never can be opened.
key.
From kleio; a key (as shutting a lock), literally or figuratively -- key.
(Luke 11:52; Revelation 3:7), accusative plural (Matthew 16:19; Revelation 1:18; cf. Kühner, § 130, i., p. 357; Winers Grammar, 65 (63), cf. Buttmann, 24 (22); (WH's Appendix, p. 157)), ? (from Homer down); a key. Since the keeper of the keys has the power to open and to shut, the word is figuratively used in the N. T. to denote power and authority of various kinds (cf. B. D., under the word ), to open or unlock the pit, Revelation 9:1, , to shut, Revelation 20:1, the power to bring back into life from Hades and to leave there, Revelation 1:18;, the ability and opportunity to obtain knowledge, Luke 11:52; under the end), Matthew 16:19; , the power of David (who is a type of the Messiah, the second David), i. e. of receiving into the Messiah's kingdom and of excluding from it, Revelation 3:7 (apparently after Isaiah 22:22, is given to the steward of the royal palace).
The last word is BIND. This is a declaration that all things are out of order, and can not be put into order, as they are forever disorder. This does not sound like tying something together, but one has to comprehend the dual extent and the extensive nature of this entire binding.
It is unbreakable bonds, as in heavy chains which none can ever be ordered open again, as it is that extent of there being not any remedy. This is permanent.
deó: to tie, bind
Short Definition: I bind
Definition: I bind, tie, fasten; I impel, compel; I declare to be prohibited and unlawful.
bind (7), binding (1), binds (2), bound (23), imprisoned (4), prisoners (1), put...in chains (1), tied (4).
1. properly:Matthew 13:30 (Tr WH brackets G probably omit, cf. Buttmann, 150 (131); Winer's Grammar, 225 (211)); a sheet bound by the four corners (to the sky), Acts 10:11 ; an animal, to prevent it from straying around, Matthew 21:2; Mark 11:2; Luke 19:30; with added, Mark 11:4; with the accusative of person to bind, to fasten with chains, to throw into chains
This is the study of this Authority from Christ. To Loose is a shattering of all barriers, and To Bind is to create a bondage which there is no pardon or ending of it, and the Key is so permanent in that Word that there is absolutely not any way to undo the Word of Christ.
The Christian must speak with Care in that which they fuse with their words in Christ, for it overcomes the laws of gravity, medicine, life and death. There are no limitations in any of this. It is permanent.
This ends this study on Loose, Key and Bind.
