Revelation 3:7 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, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

Isaiah 22:22 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.

In addition to that, the phrase "open door" has been confirmed to be essential words of God by the verses below. It seems related to the fragment above; so it has been added to it such that it (the fragment above) now reads, "He [is] the key of David. He openeth a door, and no man shutteth [it]; and [he] shutteth [a door], and no man openeth [it]."

{Revelation 3:8} I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

{Acts 14:27} And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.

{Corinthians-1 16:9}
For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and [there are] many adversaries.
