Isaiah 4:2 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

In that day, &c.— The third part of this discourse begins here; in which is set forth the flourishing state of the remnant of the Jewish people after the times of the former calamity, under the care and providence of an illustrious person whom the prophet here calls the BRANCH of Jehovah. In this period we have, first, a prophecy of the Branch of Jehovah; and the fruit of the earth; to be seen in Sion as the king of the people congregated in his name. Secondly, the internal state of this remnant is described; that is, its singular quality or virtue of true internal spiritual holiness, with a certain sign of the time adjoined Isaiah 4:3-4. Thirdly, the internal state of this people is shewn, with respect to the providence, care, and defence, wherewith it should be favoured by the Lord: Isaiah 4:5-6. There can be no doubt that the Branch of the Lord means the Messiah. See Zechariah 6:12.Isaiah 28:5; Isaiah 60:21 and Vitringa.

Isaiah 4:2

2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautifula and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
