NOTES for Isa 4:2-6
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. |

Again we read about "that day," but what a different picture we see! In what is revealed to the prophet there are many layers, apparently belonging to different times. And if we can say of all the prophecies, perhaps almost all, in the preceding chapters that they have been fulfilled, then the fulfillment of this prophecy has taken place only in part, because the Branch of the Lord has appeared in beauty and honor, and purification by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of fire has been accomplished, but the constant presence of God's glory, visible to all in the fullness of His power, is promised to us only at the Second Coming.
