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 (Isaiah 22:22).
This is one of the many messianic prophecies from Isaiah. The fulfillment of prophecy is a sure sign of the sovereignty of God. This prophecy was written hundreds of years before Christ was born. Additionally, this passage itself describes the authority and sovereignty of Christ. Christ’s reign is described here as permanent and total. His kingdom is without end and results from His work on the cross. Nothing can undo the work of Christ. The work is done once, for all, that calls upon the name of the Lord.
