Isaías 22:23 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 22:23

And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure place
In a strong part of the wall or timber, where it shall not fail, or be removed, or cut down, and so let drop what is hung upon it: it denotes the stability and continuance of his government, and of the strength and support he should be of unto others; and well agrees with Christ his antitype; see ( Zechariah 10:4 ) and is expressive of the strength of Christ, as the mighty God; and as the man of God's right hand, made strong for himself; and as the able Saviour, and mighty Redeemer; and of the stability of his person, he is unchangeable, the same today, yesterday, and for ever; and of his office, as Mediator, Head, and Surety of the covenant; whose priesthood passes not from one to another, and whose kingdom is an everlasting one, and his truths and ordinances unshaken and immovable: the sure place in which he is fixed is both his church, where he is the everlasting Head, Husband, and Saviour of it; and heaven, where he is, and will be retained, until the time of the restitution of all things:

and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house;
or make the throne of his father's house glorious, Eliakim being, as some have thought, of the blood royal; or he should be an honour and credit to his father's house, by his wise and faithful administration of the government committed to him. Christ is the brightness of his Father's glory; and, to them that believe, he is an honour; he is on a glorious throne himself, and he will bring all his Father's family to sit with him on the same throne, ( 1 Samuel 2:8 ) ( Revelation 3:21 ) .

Isaías 22:23 In-Context

21 e vesti-lo-ei da tua túnica, e cingi-lo-ei com o teu cinto, e entregarei nas suas mãos o teu governo; e ele será como pai para os moradores de Jerusalém, e para a casa de Judá.

22 Porei a chave da casa de Davi sobre o seu ombro; ele abrirá, e ninguém fechará; fechará, e ninguém abrirá.

23 E fixá-lo-ei como a um prego num lugar firme; e será como um trono de honra para a casa de seu pai.

24 Nele, pois, pendurarão toda a glória da casa de seu pai, a prole e a progênie, todos os vasos menores, desde as taças até os jarros.

25 Naquele dia, diz o Senhor dos exércitos, cederá o prego fincado em lugar firme; será cortado, e cairá; e a carga que nele estava se desprenderá, porque o Senhor o disse.
