Footnotes
"Hades" is the Greek counterpart of Hebrew "Sheol" — the realm of the dead in general, not a specific place of punishment (which would be Gehenna); F.O.G restores "Sheol" as the Hebrew conceptual equivalent, while F.O.G Message uses "the Grave" to avoid importing later theological connotations. "Kleis" (keys) in Jewish thought represent delegated authority over a domain — holding both keys signals total sovereignty over mortality itself.
