以賽亞書 4:4 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 4:4-6

Christ's gracious dealings with his Church. In this passage they are presented under three forms: I. CHRIST IS EVER WORKING WITH A VIEW TO THE CLEANSING AND PURIFYING OF HIS CHURCH , so that it might be presented at last " a glorious Church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing." That work of cleansing demands more constant watchful-fullness, care, and toil than we are wont to imagine. It requires that the Church, as a Church, shall pass again and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 4:4

When the Lord - That is, “after” God has done this, then all that are written among the living shall be called holy. The prophet in this verse states the benefits of “affliction” in purifying the people of God. He had said, in the previous verse, that all who should be left in Zion should be called holy. He here states that “previous” to that, the defilement of the people would be removed by judgment.Shall have washed away - The expression, “to wash,” is often used to denote to “purify” in any... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 4:2-6

New life (4:2-6)Having judged his people and removed sin, God blesses the righteous that remain. This new blessing is symbolized by a tree that bursts into new life and by a field that brings fresh growth. A new Israel is born where the people of God are those whom he has saved and made holy (2-4). In the new Jerusalem God dwells among and protects his people in a relationship far more wonderful than in previous times (5-6). read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 4:3-4

Isaiah 4:3-4. And it shall come to pass— The doctrine of this period is twofold; first, that God by the spirit of judgment will purify and cleanse his church; and, secondly, that those who remain written among the living, i.e. the people of the Messiah, shall become truly holy. See Philippians 4:3. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 4:2-6

3. God’s determination for Israel 4:2-6Having begun this oracle by clarifying God’s desire for Israel (Isaiah 2:1-4), the prophet proceeded to contrast her present condition. She depended on people rather than Himself, a condition that would result in divine discipline (Isaiah 2:5 to Isaiah 4:1). Next, and in conclusion, he revealed that God would indeed bring what He determined for His chosen people to completion in the future (Isaiah 4:2-6). Israel’s destiny would be glorious-in spite of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 4:3-4

The divine judgments that God will bring on the Israelites in the future (in the Tribulation) will have a purifying effect on many of them, specifically the elect (cf. Isaiah 1:25; Ezekiel 36:25-26; Ezekiel 39:23-26; Daniel 9:4-19; Malachi 3:2-5; Matthew 3:11; Acts 13:48). Those left alive to the end will be holy in conduct, as well as set apart by God for His purposes. Similarly, God purified the Israelites through their oppression in Egypt and then liberated them so they could be a holy... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 4:1-6

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 4:4

(4) When the Lord shall have washed away the filth . . .—This serves as the connecting link with Isaiah 3:16-24. The prophet has not forgotten the daughters of Zion. Jehovah will wash away, as with the baptism of repentance, the “filth,” the moral uncleanness, that lay beneath their outward show of beauty. The “blood of Jerusalem,” in the next verse, has a wide range of meaning, from the “murders” of Isaiah 1:15; Isaiah 1:21, to the Moloch sacrifices in which the women had borne a conspicuous... read more
