     [ Illustration: In the background of today's painting, we see Jerusalem at a lower elevation than the hill in the foreground. From this perspective, it can be said to be in a "valley," as in verse one of today's chapter. ]



SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: Isaiah 22 contains the Burden of the Valley of Vision. This is an unusual reference to Jerusalem, which most often is designated as the mountain of the LORD or some similar appellation. Jerusalem is elevated above several valleys, and one must go up to get to it from any direction. However, it is also surrounded by higher hills, and from that standpoint can be said to be in a "valley." Its lower elevation is well represented in Jan van Scorel's painting, above.
     The prophecy has two main parts: (1). Concerning Jerusalem (1-14); and (2). Concerning two leading citizens - Shebna and Eliakim (15-25). Presently the city was filled with joy; but, because of their wickedness, great sorrow and misery was coming by invasion and conquest (1-14). Shebna, the treasurer of the Temple, was going to be replaced by Eliakim, who was a type of Christ [who is depicted in today's painting], particularly in respect to receiving the "key of the house of David" (15-25). Scripture uses similar expressions in Matthew 16:19 and Matthew 18:18, and in Revelation 3:7 and Isaiah 9:6, in reference to the ministry of Peter and the Apostles and in reference to Christ's authority.

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

1. Pre-Exile: The Judgment & Blessing Cycles (1:1 - 39:8) - 740-709 B.C., Israel
(These 2 groups of prophecies concentrate first on Judah & Jerusalem then on the Nations.)


B. Cycles of Prophecy for the Nations & Judah ["The Book of Burdens" (Utterances, Oracles)] - (13:1 - 23:18)
Note: "Burden" (KJV) refers to burdensome Judgments on the various nations.


Cycle 10 - The Burden of the Valley of Vision [Jerusalem] (22:1-25)


a. Judgment: Siege of Jerusalem by Assyria (22:1-19)


1 The burden of the valley of vision.


What aileth thee now [What now],
that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?
2 Thou that art full of stirs,
a tumultuous city,
a joyous city:
thy slain men are not slain with the sword,
nor dead in battle.
3 All thy rulers are fled together,
they are bound by the archers:
all that are found in thee are bound together,
which have fled from far.
4 Therefore said I,
Look away from me;
I will weep bitterly,
labour not to comfort me,
because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.


5 For it is a day of trouble,
and of treading down,
and of perplexity
by the Lord GOD of hosts
in the valley of vision,
breaking down the walls,
and of crying to the mountains.
6 And Elam bare the quiver
with chariots of men
and horsemen,
and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 And it shall come to pass,
that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots,
and the horsemen shall set themselves in array [setting they are set] at the gate.
8 And he discovered the covering of Judah,


     and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest. 9 Ye have seen also [also this] the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together [this] the waters of the lower pool. 10 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall. 11 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.



     15 Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say, 16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock? 17 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captiviy, and will surely cover thee [and the one covering you covers]. 18 He will surely violently turn and toss [twirling he shall twirl you twirling] like a ball into a large [wide handed] country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house. 19 And I will drive from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.


b. Blessing: The Key of the House of David (22:20-25)


     20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: 21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. 22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. 23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. 24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. 25 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
