Shebna Must Be Removed

Isaiah 22:23-25 KJV
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.
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.
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.
There are two characters being here referred to;
Eliakim, who would be set up by the Lord as a nail in a sure place. Eliakim's office, being from the Lord, would be secure.
Shebna, who thought he had a secure office, but would be pulled down by the Lord.

Eliakim is a type of Christ, as is evident in verses 23-24.
Nailed to a sure place
A glorious throne to
His Father's houseAnd etc.

Shebna seems to me to be a type of the flesh of man.
He thinks he is secure.
He thinks he is prominent
He thinks he is glorious

And before Eliakim could be set up in this office, Shebna must be removed. So it is with Christ and the flesh; before Christ may have that glorious place in our lives, Shebna, the confidence of the flesh must be removed. I think it is significant though, that the Lord is the One Who removed him. We are not able to do this in the strength of will or determination, that one creates religious reformation which is both insufficient and will prove to not last.
