Isaías 22:23

23 Le traerá honor al nombre de su familia, porque yo lo pondré firmemente en su lugar como un clavo en la pared.

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 Lo vestiré con tus vestiduras reales y le daré tu título y tu autoridad. Y será un padre para el pueblo de Jerusalén y de Judá.

22 Le daré la llave de la casa de David, la posición más elevada dentro de la corte real. Cuando él abra puertas, nadie podrá cerrarlas; cuando él cierre puertas, nadie podrá abrirlas.

23 Le traerá honor al nombre de su familia, porque yo lo pondré firmemente en su lugar como un clavo en la pared.

24 Le darán grandes responsabilidades, y él les traerá honor incluso a los miembros más humildes de su familia».

25 Pero el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales también dice: «Llegará el día en que yo sacaré el clavo que parecía tan firme; saldrá y caerá al suelo y todo lo que sostiene se caerá junto con él. ¡Yo, el Señor
, he hablado!».
