Isaías 22:1-25

CHAPTER 22

The Burden of the Valley of Vision (Jerusalem)

1. Jerusalem's deplorable state (Isaías 22:1) 2. The invading armies (Isaías 22:5) 3. The siege and the calamity (Isaías 22:8) 4.

Shebna (Isaías 22:15) 5. Eliakim (Isaías 22:20) This is another intensely interesting prophecy. Jerusalem has passed through many sieges and at last in part the prophecy has been fulfilled. But there is another siege of Jerusalem impending.

It will come after the message of the fall of the final Babylon. See Zacarías 14:1. Still more interesting are Shebna and Eliakim, mentioned in this chapter. Shebna, the proud one, is the usurper, the type of the Antichrist. Eliakim is the type of Christ, He whose right it is to reign. It is Christ displacing Antichrist, which is seen in Isaías 22:15.

Compare Isaías 22:22 with Apocalipsis 3:7 .
