Isaiah 22:20-25 reads:
- 20
- On that day I will summon my servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah;
- 21
- I will clothe him with your robe, and gird him with your sash, and give over to him your authority. He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
- 22
- I will place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; when he opens, no one shall shut, when he shuts, no one shall open.
Christ uses this same structure in Matthew 16:18 when He gives the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven to Peter, appointing him as head of the Apostles.
