Fourth Antiphon –
December 20th: O Clavis David
O Key of David, O royal Power of Israel, controlling at your will the gate of heaven,[1] Come, break down the prison walls of death for those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,[2] and lead your captive people into freedom
The Lord Jesus is invoked here as the Key of David,[3] the one who can open the gate into the kingdom because he is the gate.[4] He knocks at the door of our hearts[5] leading us out of the darkness of sin into the true freedom of the children of God, which is freedom from sin and the resulting joy and delight.
[1] Is. 22:22
[2] Luke 1:79
[3] Rev. 3:7
[4] cf. John 10:7
[5] Rev. 3:19
