以賽亞書 4:4-6 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 4:2-6

The glories of the restored Church. Three principal glories are here noted by the prophet as belonging to "that day"—the day of judgment upon Judah and Jerusalem for their manifold sins, and of restoration and re-establishment of the mountain of God's Church at the head of the mountains ( Isaiah 2:2 ). These are— I. THE COMING OF MESSIAH TO FOUND HIS CHURCH LIES AT THE ROOT OF ALL . The glorious "Branch"—the new shoot of the house of David ( Isaiah 11:1 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 4:2-6

Glimpse of future prosperity. There will come a day when the cleansing fire will have run its course through the spiritual field, consuming the tares. The impurity of licentious luxury will have been washed away, the stain of blood effaced from Judah's rulers ( Isaiah 3:14 ; comp. Isaiah 1:25 ; Isaiah 6:13 ; Matthew 3:11 ). Then, and then only, can the glorious day come in the vision of which the prophet exults. I. NATIONAL CONDITIONS OF PROSPERITY . "The shoot of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 4:4

When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion (see Isaiah 3:16-24 ). Sin must not be merely repented of and pardoned; it must be put away. There could be no Jerusalem, in which all should be "called holy," until the moral defilement of the daughters of Zion was swept away. Purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst (comp. Isaiah 1:15 ; Isaiah 59:3 ). It is possible, however, that the murder of infants in sacrifice to Moloch may be in the prophet's mind.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 4:4

Christ's purified Church. We are often addressing the truths revealed in Christ Jesus to the individual, but perhaps we unduly neglect their bearings on the Church as a whole which Christ has founded in the earth; those relations in which Christ himself stands to the Church, as the kingdom over which he is now actually ruling. It would be well for us distinctly to apprehend this truth, that the gospel only completes its work when, having renewed the individuals, it has also brought them into... read more

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 4:5

Upon every dwelling-place ("over the whole habitation," Revised Version). Mr. Cheyne translates "upon the whole site," and takes the "site" to be especially the temple. Makon seems certainly never to be used for anything but "God's dwelling-place" ( Exodus 15:17 ; 1 Kings 8:13 , 1 Kings 8:39 , etc.; 2 Chronicles 6:2 , 2 Chronicles 6:30 , etc.; Ezra 2:68 ; Psalms 33:14 ; Psalms 89:14 ; Psalms 97:2 ; Psalms 104:5 ; Isaiah 18:4 ; Daniel 8:11 ). Perhaps, however, every... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 4:5-6

Divine protection. In strong, poetic terms the prophet intimates— I. THAT GOD TAKES A DIVINE PLEASURE IN HIS PEOPLE . We know from other Scriptures that the Lord's portion is his people ( Exodus 19:5 ; Deuteronomy 32:9 ; Psalms 47:4 ). Here the people of God are spoken of as "the glory" of the Lord ( Isaiah 4:5 ). There are aspects in which it must appear to us the extreme point of Divine condescension to use such terms of his redeemed ones. But there are other... 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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 4:5

And the Lord will create - The meaning of this verse and the next is, that God would take his people into his holy care and protection. The idea is expressed by images drawn, in this verse, from the protection which he afforded to the Israelites in their journeying from Egypt. The word “create” means here, he will afford, or furnish, such a defense.Upon every dwelling-place ... - Upon all the habitations of his people; that is, they shall be secure, and regarded as under his protection.
