In light of the Second Advent, wouldn't that personage be the high priest? Why do Mormons sah Hinckley holds all the keys? This is a quote from a Mormon Web site: "Jesus is The Christ, Joseph Smith was His prophet, and Gordon B. Hinckley is the prophet that holds all the keys to Christ's Priesthood today."
What about the keys to the abyss? As told in the Book of Revelations?

He holds all the Priesthood keys that were given by Christ. The purpose of the Priesthood is to act on behalf of God on the earth. To bind on earth that it may be bound in heaven. The keys of death and hell were not given to anyone.

All things are done under the direction of Jesus Christ our Lord and Master the Chief High Priest.
Jesus conferred these keys on Peter James and John who then gave them to Joseph Smith and the keys have passed down through the Apostles till today. The keys are held by all the Apostles and are active in Hinckley

The keys to the abyss...is symbolic like GBH has all the keys to the church on earth today but he literally doesn't have keys.
(rattling key chains)
Jesus Christ has restored his church through Joseph Smith and other prophets to GBH.
High Priests are part of the Melchizadek Priesthood in the church, and his held by senior members of the ward, stake and all General Authorities of the church.

Priesthood keys is an expression which means controlling power of the priesthood ordinances. Jesus is our great High Priest, after the order of Melchizedek, but since He is not on earth to perform ordinances such as Baptism, He bestows the keys on others. The priesthood is the authority to act in His name.

You examine it , yet you do no longer comprehend it. and Worse, you're making assumption approximately it. basically as husband and spouse would be seal as everlasting couple, the certainty and given of such blessing relies upon on their authentic committment. "Sealing" basically gave you the "pass" by using that door way. Seal to everlasting existence is not any diverse the flexibility point out is the Priesthood ability, God's ability. Even interior the Bible, God has granted ability to those it relatively is unswerving and devoted, Christ even granted ability to Peter James and John. i be responsive to is tricky which you will settle for, and does no longer anticipate you to settle for, for the reason which you may desire to no longer settle for our common doctrine.
