Revelations 1:18 to 20 - The keys of Hades and Thanatos

We saw earlier that Jesus sets out to guide his church, and tells John not to fear. But the son of man goes on to say, in revelations 1:18.
I am the first and the last, and the one who lives; I was dead, but behold, I am alive for ever and ever and I have the keys of death and hell.
The facts here clearly define that one is talking about Jesus, and that he died. And it clearly defines that it has the keys of death and hell.
In Greek we have the term Hades, and Thanatos. Defining the place, and the situation, that is Thanatos, is when he is dead, and Hades, is the place where he is when he dies.
In Ecclesiastes 12: 7 we can read.
and the dust will return to the earth, as it were, and the spirit will return to God, who gave it.
In this way the verse in revelations idealizes that Jesus makes the dust unite again to the spirit, and thus the man returns to be a living soul.
But if we continue to read in revelations 1, 19 and 20 we have.
Write, therefore, the things you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that will happen after these.
As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and the seven golden lamps, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamps are the seven churches.
Notice that in these verses we clearly have that the Son of Man defines that John writes such things, because he demonstrates the importance of such content.
Many people question the study of the book of Revelations of the apocalypse, but if we consider that this book was written by inspiration, we have that same inspiration, considered it extremely important to study these writings.
Demonstrating the importance of both the seven churches and the seven angels.
This indicates that a practical work action is required in relation to the fulfillment of Revelations. The book was not written to be merely studied, but it is an alert to work on the cause, through the will of Christ.
So that he who does the will of Christ is part of the church, and so he who does not do his will, then he is not part of the church of God. This is not a theoretical analysis, but the foundation of the practice.
He who is not in the work is not part of this vision given to John.
