Ok, Hotshot, lets get into it. Do you agree that Isaias 22:20-22 is the foreshadow or prototype of
Matthew 16:16-19? And that the promise of succession began with Abraham [Gen. 17:6]?
Isaias 22:20-22 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliacim the son of Helcias, And I will clothe him with thy robe, and will strengthen him with thy girdle,
and will give thy power into his hand:
and he shall be as a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Juda.
And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder: and he shall open, and none shall shut: and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Matthew 16:16-19 Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answering, said to him:
Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to thee:
That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven:and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.

keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
Even Abraham and Jacob, are called a rock and or a stone, as leader of the old testament church. And their names were also changed just like Simon bar-jona to Peter.
Isaias 51:1-2
[1] Give ear to me, you that follow that which is just, and you that seek the Lord:
look unto the rock whence you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you are dug out.
[2] Look unto Abraham your father, and to Sara that bore you:
for I called him alone, and blessed him, and multiplied him.
Genesis 49:24 His bow rested upon the strong, and the bands of his arms and his hands were loosed, by the hands of the mighty one of Jacob:
thence he came forth a pastor, the stone of Israel.
Genesis 17:5 Neither shall thy name be called any more Abram: but thou shalt be called Abraham: because I have made thee a father of many nations."
Genesis 35:10 Saying: Thou shalt
not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called him Israel.
