Hades — the Greek Bible's rendering of the Hebrew Sheol, the grave-realm of the dead; NOT the fiery hell of later imagery (KJV prints 'hell' at Revelation 1:18). Christ holds its keys. ⚠ The word is older in this Gospel than in this library's own order of discussion: at Matthew 16:18, Peter is promised 'the gates of Hades will not overpower' the congregation Christ will build — a different set of keys from the ones Christ himself holds over 'Death and Hades' at Revelation 1:18, not the same claim repeated twice. → first discussed at Rev 1:18
