Isaiah 4:6 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 4:2-6

By the foregoing threatenings Jerusalem is brought into a very deplorable condition: every thing looks melancholy. But here the sun breaks out from behind the cloud. Many exceedingly great and precious promises we have in these verses, giving assurance of comfort which may be discerned through the troubles, and of happy days which shall come after them, and these certainly point at the kingdom of the Messiah, and the great redemption to be wrought out by him, under the figure and type of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 4:6

And there shall be a tabernacle ,.... Christ, who tabernacled in our nature, and is the minister of the true tabernacle, which God pitched, and not man; who will be spiritually present in the word and ordinances, where the shepherds pitch their tents; and who will be that to his people as shepherds' tents are to them, to which the allusion is: for a shadow in the day time from the heat : from the heat of a fiery law, which works wrath; from the flaming sword of justice, which calls for... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 4:6

A tabernacle - In countries subject to violent tempests, as well as to intolerable heat, a portable tent is a necessary part of a traveller's baggage, for defense and shelter. And to such tents the words of the text make evident allusion. They are to be met with in every part of Arabia and Egypt, and in various other places in the East. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 4:2-6

As the present prophecy (Isaiah 2-4.), though in the main one of threatening and denunciation, opened with a picture that was encouraging and comforting ( Isaiah 2:2-4 ), so new it terminates with a similar picture. The evangelical prophet, like the great apostle of the Gentiles, is unwilling that any one should be "swallowed up with overmuch sorrow." He will not separate the mercies of God from his judgments. read more

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 4:4-6

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 4:5-6

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
