The Sin of Jerusalem and the Remnant

1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:

4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.

6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.

Commentary

Isaiah 4 is a powerful message of warning and hope. The prophet begins by describing the sinful state of Jerusalem, where even the women are proud and haughty. He warns that the day is coming when the Lord will remove everything that is not pure and holy. However, in the midst of this judgment, there is hope for the faithful remnant. Isaiah prophesies that a branch will grow out of the stump of Jesse, pointing to the coming of the Messiah. He also describes a holy city, where the Lord will provide a cloud and fire to protect his people. The chapter ends with the assurance that those who are left in Zion will be called holy and that the Lord will create a canopy to shelter all who seek his refuge. Overall, Isaiah 4 reminds us of the consequences of sin and the hope of salvation through faith in Christ.
