These things saith he that is holy, he that is true,
he that hath the key of David, he that openeth,
and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Revelation 3:6-9.
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.
Revelation 3:6-9 establishes a direct link between the personage speaking in the text of the passage and the person described through prophetic utterance in Isaiah chapter 22 (with emphasis on verses 22 through 25). John the Revelator clearly takes it for granted that Isaiah 22:20-25 is speaking parabolically concerning someone other than Eliakim son of Hilkiah. He makes the statements that are found in Isaiah 22:22-25 apply directly to the person speaking in Revelation 3:6-9.
Linkages of this sort aren't uncommon throughout the Gospels and Apostolic Writings such that the link itself isn't worthy of a cutting exegetical analysis. On the other hand, what's more than worthy of careful examination is the manner in which the link between Revelation 3:6-9 and Isaiah 22:23-25 connect the latter passage to the cutting exegesis of Isaiah 53:9 that took place here earlier this self-same year.
