I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hades and of death.
All Commentaries on Revelation 1:18 Go To Revelation 1
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
And alive, and was dead; always living as God, and as man was dead, died on the cross for the salvation of all men, rose again, triumphed over hell, death, and sin, and am living for ever and ever, and have the keys of death and of hell, power over all, all things being made subject to me, even as man, or as God and man. (Witham)
