以賽亞書 4:4 CUNPTS

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 4:1-6

Vanity and Selfish Luxury Condemned Isaiah 3:13-26 ; Isaiah 4:1-6 This paragraph opens with the majestic figure of Jehovah Himself, who arises to judge the misrulers and plead the cause of the poor. The prophet enumerates the trinkets of the women of Israel, who had given themselves up to luxury and corruption. Woman is the priestess and prophetess of the home and religion, and when she forsakes the level of spiritual influence for that of physical adornment, the salt has lost its savor and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 4:1-6

In all human history there has been a close connection between corrupt rulers and frivolous and polluted womanhood. Fierce is the prophet's denunciation of such. Their wantonness and their luxury are to be ended. They are to be visited by physical diction, and the sweeping out of all the things associated with their corrupt and luxurious life, and by the death of men. The appeal ends with another description of the days following the judgment. They are to be characterized by material... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 4:2-6

Chapter Isaiah 4:2-6 The Restoration. It is important to recognise here that Isaiah is looking forward and seeing the whole future as one. He is not just referring to the long distant future, but to the whole future stretching into time. He sees imminent judgment as coming, judgment which is not always necessarily to be seen as final judgment, although often including that idea, for it is a precursor to it. And he recognises that inevitably one day God’s final judgment will come, followed by... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 4:2-6

Isaiah 4:2-Joshua : . Zion’ s Happy Estate.— Probably post-exilic on grounds of style, ideas, and imagery. In the blessed future the land will be glorious with vegetation and fruit for the holy remnant, that will escape the sifting judgment with which Yahweh will cleanse Jerusalem from its impurity and bloodshed. Then over the whole city and its assemblies He will create, as in the wilderness, cloud by day and flame by night, and a shelter from heat and storm. Isaiah 4:2 . branch of the Lord:... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 4:4

When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion: this shall be accomplished when God hath thoroughly cleansed the Jewish nation from their sins. The blood; the blood-guiltness, and especially that of killing the Lord of life, their own Messiah. By the Spirit of judgment, and by the Spirit of burning: this is opposed to the former legal way of purification, which was by water. By the Spirit he seems to understand the Holy Spirit of God, to which this washing and purging... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 4:2-6

THE DIVINE IDEAL OF ISRAEL REALISEDIsaiah 4:2-6. In that day shall the Branch of the Lord, &c.“That day” is the glorious period described in Isaiah 2:1-4, and those verses and our text should be read together, as the beginning and conclusion of one prophecy. At the beginning, the prophet fixes his gaze upon the sun-illumined peaks of holiness and blessing in the far future, and his spirit rises within him in exultant gladness (Isaiah 2:5); and then he begins to survey the spaces of time... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 4:4

THE CLEANSING SPIRITIsaiah 4:4. By the Spirit of judgment, and by the Spirit of burning.In Isaiah 2:1-5, the prophet gives us a vision of the glory which shall distinguish Messianic times. From Isaiah 4:6, however, and through that chapter and the next, he depicts scenes of darkness and distress, that were to come upon the Jewish nation in correction of its haughtiness, arrogance, and rebellion. In ch. 4 the light again breaks through these fearful clouds of judgment, and under the glory of the... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 4:2-5

Isaiah 4:2-5 I. Notice, first, the preparation for the promise. In the earlier verses of this chapter two things are presented as antecedent to the gifts of blessing that is, the coming of the Divine Saviour, and His discipline for holiness within His Church. II. The promise itself. There is: (1) The presence of God with His Church. (2) The presence of God for counsel. This was the primary purpose for which the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire were given. For guidance in the perplexities... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 4:1-6

Chapter 4Now Isaiah looks on through the Lord to the future.And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and we will wear our own clothes; only let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach ( Isaiah 4:1 ).It was a reproach to a woman in those days, of course, not to bear a child. But there will be a shortage of men, so seven women will take hold of one man and say, "Hey, we'll take care of ourselves. We'll provide our own food and... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 4:1-6

Isaiah 4:1 . Seven women let us be called by thy name. After a hundred and twenty thousand of Ahaz’s army had been slaughtered in one day, men were scarce. Critics generally refer this to the Babylonian captivity; but the custom is now common in India. Women of years and decency will send a present to a great man, and ask to be called by his name, and be his wives at a distance; and though they never see him, yet they are accounted as married. Isaiah 4:2 . Branch. Christ is here... read more
