1In that day seven women will take hold of one man and say, “We will eat our own bread and provide our own clothes. Just let us be called by your name. Take away our disgrace!” 2On that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of Israel’s survivors.

Isaiah 4:3 Summary

[Isaiah 4:3 tells us that the people who remain in Zion and Jerusalem will be called holy. This means that God will set them apart as His special people, just like He did with the Israelites in the past, as seen in Exodus 19:5-6. To be holy means to be dedicated to God and to live a life that is pleasing to Him, as mentioned in Romans 12:1-2. As we trust in God and follow His ways, we can be part of His holy people and experience His presence and protection in our lives.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to be 'called holy' in Isaiah 4:3?

To be called holy means to be set apart for God's special purpose, as seen in Leviticus 11:44-45, where God commands His people to be holy because He is holy. In this context, those who remain in Zion will be considered holy because they have been faithful to God.

Who are the people 'recorded among the living' in Isaiah 4:3?

The people 'recorded among the living' are those whose names are written in the book of life, as mentioned in Psalm 69:28 and Revelation 20:12-15. These are the people who have put their trust in God and will be spared from judgment.

What is the significance of Zion and Jerusalem in this verse?

Zion and Jerusalem represent the city of God, where His people dwell. In Isaiah 4:3, these cities symbolize the place of God's presence and protection, where those who remain faithful will be called holy, as seen in Psalm 132:13-14.

How does this verse relate to God's plan of salvation?

This verse points to the future time when God will purify and redeem His people, as mentioned in Isaiah 4:4. It is a reminder that God's plan of salvation involves not only forgiveness of sins but also the transformation of His people into holy vessels, as seen in 2 Corinthians 7:1 and 1 Thessalonians 4:7.

And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: (He that is) left in

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 4:3

Shall be called holy, i.e. shall be really holy, as is said, . To be called is oft put for to be, as 44:5. Every one that is written among the living: so this is a restriction of the foregoing indefinite proposition. Not all that are left, but a great number of them, shall be holy, even all that are written, &c., i.e. all the elect, who are frequently described by this character, that they are written in God’ s or the Lamb’ s book, or in the book of life, or of the living, 13:8 17:8, &c. But this last clause of the verse is by some learned interpreters rendered thus, all that are in Jerusalem (i.e. a very great number of them, as such general expressions are frequently used, or the generality of them) shall be written unto life, i.e. shall be such as are elected unto salvation through sanctification; which may deserve consideration. So he notes the singular privilege of this people at this time above the former ages, in which many were called, but few were chosen. In Jerusalem; of the people living in or belonging to Jerusalem.

Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 4:3

Isaiah 4:3 And it shall come to pass, [that he that is] left in Zion, and [he that] remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, [even] every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:Ver. 3. He that is left in Zion.] See Isaiah 4:2. Shall be called holy.] Heb., Holy shall be said to him or of him: he shall have the name and note of a saint, the comfort and the credit of it. Christ’ s holiness shall be both imputed and imparted unto them: he shall both expiate their sins and heal their natures, pay their debts, and give them a stock of grace and holiness, so that men shall call them a "holy people." Even every one that is written among the living.] Written in God’ s book of life, which is matter of greater joy than to have the devils subdued unto us; for a man may cast out devils, and yet be himself cast to the devil; but in God’ s book of life there are no blots, no crossings out, but "as many as are ordained to eternal life believe," and the same are "kept as in a garrison by the power of God through faith unto salvation." The prophet seemeth here to allude to that custom in Jerusalem of enrolling the names of all the citizens. Christ Jesus is the Master of the Rolls in heaven, wherein none are recorded but such as are designed "to glory and virtue." All others are said to be "dead in trespasses and sins," and to be "written in the earth." Those priests that could not produce their genealogy were cashiered by the Tirshatha: so shall those one day be by Christ whose names are not found written among the living in Jerusalem.

Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 4:3

(3) He that is left in Zion . . .—The prophet turns from the Jerusalem that then was, with the hypocrisies and crimes of the men and the harlot fashions of its women, to the vision of a new Jerusalem, which shall realise the ideal of Psalms 15, 24. There every one should be called “holy” (comp. 1 Corinthians 1:2; 2 Corinthians 1:1), and the name should be no unreal mockery (Isaiah 32:5), but should express the self-consecration and purity of its inhabitants. Every one that is written among the living.—Literally, for life. The idea is that of “the book” or “register” of life in which are written the names of those who are worthy of living in the heavenly city. It meets us as early as Exodus 32:32, and appears in Psalms 56:8; Psalms 69:28; Ezekiel 13:9.; Malachi 3:16; Daniel 12:1; Acts xiii 48; Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:5; Revelation 13:8; Revelation 21:27. An examination of the passages, especially the first, will show that while it involves the idea of an election, it excludes that of an irreversible predestination, and that the election has to be “made sure” by a life in harmony with it. (2 Peter 1:10.)

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 4:3

Verse 3. Written among the living] That is, whose name stands in the enrolment or register of the people; or every man living, who is a citizen of Jerusalem. See Ezekiel 13:9, where, "they shall not be written in the writing of the house of Israel," is the same with what immediately goes before, "they shall not be in the assembly of my people." Compare Psalms 69:28; Psalms 87:6; Exodus 32:32. To number and register the people was agreeable to the law of Moses, and probably was always practised; being, in sound policy, useful, and even necessary. David's design of numbering the people was of another kind; it was to enrol them for his army. Michaelis Mosaisches Recht, Part iii., p. 227. See also his Dissert. de Censibus Hebraeorum.

Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 4:3

3. The character of the escaped remnant. They shall be called holy ch. Isaiah 60:14, Isaiah 61:6, Isaiah 62:12. “Holiness” here includes the ideas of consecration to God, and inviolability (Jeremiah 2:3) as well as of moral purity (Isaiah 4:4). written among the living] rather, written for life, i.e. not any chance survivor, but those who are predestined to life (cf. Acts 13:48). The figure is derived from the burgess rolls in which the name of every qualified citizen was to be found (cf. Nehemiah 7:64); hence comes the idea of the “book of life” containing the names of all the true people of God; Exodus 32:32 f.; Psalms 69:28; Daniel 12:1; Luke 10:20; Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:5; Revelation 13:8; Revelation 20:12; Revelation 20:15; Revelation 22:19 (and cf. “bundle of life,” 1 Samuel 25:29). The transition from the secular to the religious sense may be seen in Ezekiel 13:9.

Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 4:3

He that is left in Zion - This “properly” refers to the remnant that should remain after the mass of the people should be cut off by wars, or be borne into captivity.

Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 4:3

3, 4. He that is left in Zion — The true descendants of the few who, amid the immoralities of Jerusalem life, and despite surrounding temptations to the contrary, preserve themselves pure and loyal to Jehovah.
