What does the Bible say about Eliakim and Shebna?

Answered in 1 source

Eliakim represents God's chosen servant, while Shebna symbolizes those who align against God's will and face judgment.

In Isaiah 22, Eliakim is portrayed as God's chosen servant who will be entrusted with governance and authority. He represents the New Covenant, reflecting the person and work of Christ. In contrast, Shebna, the treasurer, embodies rebellion and natural election, as he aligns himself with worldly powers against God's people, ultimately facing God's judgment. This passage illustrates the transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, emphasizing God's sovereign choice in establishing His will among His people.
