Isaiah 22 Commentary
Chapter 22 combines several images. But the mention of the LORD’s servant, presented as Eliakim, helps us understand the chapter. “What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.”
The New Testament reader knows better. Only the LORD Jesus Christ fits this description.
But then, we see this same peg, Eliakim, cut down. “That will be the end of everything that was hanging on it.” Verse 25b.
If this peg is anything close to the Son or the Branch of earlier chapters, aren’t we looking at an everlasting government of righteousness?
Of course, we could be looking at another version of Zechariah 13:7, “Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered”
Trouble falls on Jerusalem. Men move in to repair the damage. No one stops to think about it. Why have we suffered this way?
What can you do with this kind? The LORD decrees zero forgiveness. Sad.
Regardless, mortals can read this chapter and look at ourselves. We need to understand the times. If there is trouble out there, who or what is the cause?
Is it ever possible that we can solve our own problems?
