That one is a little complicated. Encouraged by I decided to put some Christian art.

This is the key of David. In the Bible, God says about the Christ: ' I shall put on his shoulder the key of the house of David. What He opens, no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open.' (Isaiah 22.22)

So I decided to draw this 'key of David'. It is a symbol of what Jesus can do, the things that are impossible for us to do, he can do. And it also symbolises the opportunities that are in God's hands when we entrust our destinies into his hands.

-For those wondering, yes, I did take inspiration from the Kingdom hearts keyblade 'oathkeeper'-

Now for some explanation: of course the star symbolises King David, of whom Jesus-Christ is descended (the key of the house of David). But you can also see the three nails used to crucify Jesus. The middle nail has a drop of blood falling in-between two cherubs: it symbolises the sacrifice for the remission of sins of the whole people when some blood was sprinkled on the lid of the covenant box (where two cherubs were joining wings).

Of course you can recognize on both sides of the handgrip the thorns used to crown Jesus and the cross. The handgrip is the book sealed with seven seals from the book of revelation. Also notice the poster in the bottom where the word 'king' is written in Latin (INRI= Iesus Nazarenus Iudaeorum Rex = Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews); Hebrew letters (Melech), and Greek (Basileus), like it happened in the Gospel.

Last but not least, the end of the key is a loose chain: it is the chain of sin that opens with Jesus Christ to set the prisonners free! (Trivia, but authentic and totally non-prepared, as I am writing this, my Ipod is playing a song saying "there is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain", nice, isn't it?)

God bless you!

PS: just did a colored version of that. You should go check it out here [link]
