Isaiah 4:1

1 And ^ain that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying,
“We will ^beat our own food and wear our own apparel;
Only let us be called by your name,
To take away ^cour reproach.”

The Renewal of Zion

2 In that day ^athe Branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious;
And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing
For those of Israel who have escaped.

3 And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem ^awill be called holy—everyone who is ^brecorded among the living in Jerusalem.

4 When ^athe Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the¹ blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning,

5 then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, ^aa cloud and smoke by day and ^bthe shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a¹ covering.

6 And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, ^afor a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.

What Does Isaiah 4:1 Mean?

Isaiah 4:1

Isaiah 3:16—4:1 and Amos 4:1-3 paint rather uncomplimentary pictures of women in our time. Both predict captivity and great humiliation to the women who oppress the poor and needy, satiate their desires, and proudly vaunt their power. We need not be terribly observant to recognize that we have reached such a state in our society. It will not be long before God acts to correct it.

The genie is out of the bottle. Radical feminism will not go away until Christ returns to usher in true cooperation and proper balance between men and women. When He sets up His government, "the times of restoration of all things" will begin (Acts 3:21), and He will declare the eternal end of the battle of the sexes. Then it will not be a woman's world—or a man's world—but God's world!
