基督像钉子钉在坚固处
基督是神将祂像钉子钉在坚固处的那一位（赛二二23上）。在豫表上，坚固处豫表第三层天（参林后十二2下）。基督从死人中复活，被高举到第三层天神所在之处。事实上，被高举到第三层天就是被高举到父神那里，因为父是在第三层天那里。
在路加十五章十八节，主耶稣讲到浪子的故事，浪子说，“父亲，我犯罪得罪了天，并得罪了你。”得罪了天等于得罪了你（父神）。得罪了天就是得罪了神，因为父神是在天上（太六9）。天是指诸天，是父所在的坚固处。
没有以赛亚书，我们就不知道当神高举基督时，神乃是将祂像钉子钉在诸天，就是神所在之处。基督今天是在诸天上，像钉子钉在神里面。祂是钉子，我们都挂在其上。
基督是祂父家荣耀的宝座
基督这钉子要变成祂父家荣耀的宝座（赛二二23下）。这里的荣耀，原文意尊贵和荣耀。基督是尊贵的宝座，荣耀的宝座。按照以赛亚二十二章二十四节，荣耀就是神的儿女，是神的后裔和流出，而这些神的儿女乃是基督的器皿，挂在祂这钉子上。
基督作祂父家荣耀的宝座，乃是祂子民作为器皿挂在祂这钉子上所产生的结果，这些器皿乃是为着盛装祂，并将祂供应给人。这些子民，神的儿女，乃是基督的荣耀。同着荣耀有一个宝座，这宝座实际上就是基督自己。宝座表征行政权柄和国度。基督在祂行政的权柄里，乃是在神家中管理一切的宝座。

Christ As a Peg Into a Sure Place – Isa. 22:23
Christ is the One whom God drives as a peg, or nail, into a sure place (Isa. 22:23a). In typology, the sure place typifies the third heaven (cf. 2 Cor. 12:2b). Christ was raised up from the dead, and he was exalted to the third heaven where God is. Actually, to be exalted to the third heaven is to be exalted to God the Father because the Father is in the third heaven.
In Luke 15:18 the Lord Jesus relates the story of the prodigal son saying, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.” Against heaven equals before you (God the Father). Sinning against heaven is sinning before God because God the Father is in heaven (Matt. 6:9). Heaven, referring to the heavens, is the sure place where God the Father is.
Without the book of Isaiah, we would not know that when God exalted Christ, God drove him as a peg into the place where he is, the heavens. Christ today is in the heavens as a peg driven into God. He is the peg upon which all of us hang.
Christ Is the Throne of Glory for His Father’s House
Christ as a peg will become a throne of glory for his Father’s house (Isa. 22:23b). In Hebrew the word for glory here means both honor and glory. Christ is a throne of honor, a throne of glory. According to Isaiah 22:24 the glory is the children of God as the offspring and issue of God, and these children of God are the vessels of Christ, hanging upon him as the peg.
Christ being a throne of glory for his Father’s house is the issue of his people, who are vessels, hanging upon him as the peg in order to contain him and minister him to others. These people, the children of God, are the glory of Christ. With the glory there is a throne, and this throne is actually Christ himself. The throne signifies the administrative authority and the kingdom. Christ in his administrative authority is the throne governing everything within the house of God.
