Isaiah / Question
Question source
Isaiah
Isaiah describes a future moment when “the Branch of the LORD” will be beautiful and glorious, connected with renewed fruitfulness for survivors in Israel (Isaiah 4:2). The context focuses on those who remain in Zion being called holy after cleansing (Isaiah 4:3-4).
2In that day shall the branch of Yahweh be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be excellent and comely for those who are escaped of Israel.
3It shall happen, that he who is left in Zion, and he who remains in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even everyone who is written among the living in Jerusalem;
4when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst of it, by the spirit of justice, and by the spirit of burning.
