The word literally means "look" or "see". However, in this case, the expression denotes the act of seeing figuratively by means of giving notice and attention. Alternate translation: "Listen carefully!"

This is to say, the idea of having the power over something is spoken of as having **the keys** to it.

As stated in the previous note, **keys** are a symbol of power or authority over something, since keys represent the ability to control a door, whether to open it or to lock it. The translator may wish to make the symbolic and cultural implications of having **keys** explicit by indicating the power or authority of controlling such items.

The translator may wish to indicate the use of this verse as a natural three-part division of the book of Revelation. Alternatively, the translator may wish actually to reflect this reality in the translation of the verse's three different clauses with their different tenses of verbs.

The number **seven** is often used in the Bible as a symbol for completeness and perfection.

Alternatively, they are (2) human messengers who are sent to the seven churches. If they are human messengers, then, they could either be leaders of the seven churches or they could be the actual messengers who went from John bearing his book to the seven churches mentioned in chapters two and three of the Book of Revelation. The translator should keep the apparent ambiguity of the symbolism and not try to specify either option of interpretation over the other.
