Ram saysramcam2 said:
shebna was the royal steward in the davidic kingdom during the reign of king hezekiah. isaiah foretold the fall of one royal steward and the succession of another. shebna was baing replaced by eliakim and the prophet said ' i will place on his shoulder the key to the house of david'.
matt16: 17-19 is a direct quotation of isaiah 22. when jesus said to peter, 'i will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven', the apostles knew jesus was alluding to the passage in isaiah22. many protestant biblical scholars support this understanding and affirm that Jesus is delegating his authority over life and death, heaven and hell, to the founder of his Church on earth.
the three images of rock, steward, and shepherd are biblical reasons why we claim peter's authority (the prime minister) in the church jesus established..

Isaiah 22:
And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder;
so he shall open,
and none shall shut;
and he shall shut,
and none shall open.
No it is not;
but here is a ""DIRECT QUOTE""""
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write;
These things saith he that is holy, he that is true,
he that hath the key of David,
