Isaiah 22:23 - Exposition

I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place (comp. Ezra 9:8 ; Zechariah 10:4 ). The idea intended to be expressed is firmness and fixity of tenure. He shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house (compare the next verse). All his relations, even the most remote, shall derive honor from him, and bask in the sunshine of his prosperity. So shall all members of the family of God, made sons of God by adoption in Christ, participate in the final glory of Christ in his eternal kingdom.
