> [Isaiah 4:1](Isaiah%204.md#^1) note
>
> Here there are seven women who desire to eat their own bread and to wear their own apparel (a picture of following their own kind of gospel), yet want to be called by or associated with the Name of Christ to avoid reproach. ^isa4-1
<br>
> [Isaiah 4:2](Isaiah%204.md#^2) note
>
> The *branch* (Christ - [Isa 11:1](Isaiah%2011.md#^1); [Jer 23:5](Jeremiah%2023.md#^5), [Jer 33:15](Jeremiah%2033.md#^15)) shall be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit (again Christ) shall be excellent and comely for those who are *escaped* of Israel, for those who have come out of the fallen churches and congregations during the final tribulation period, from those who want to eat their own bread and wear their own apparel while taking on the Name of Christ only (from verse 1). ^isa4-2
<br>
> [Isaiah 4:3](Isaiah%204.md#^3) note
>
> Beginning in this verse God focuses on the spiritual Zion and Jerusalem, the Jerusalem above or the heavenly Jerusalem ([Gal 4:26](Galatians%204.md#^26), [Rev 3:12](Revelation%203.md#^12), [21:2](Revelation%2021.md#^2), [10](Revelation%2021.md#^10)) that comprises all of the elect. So this is not contradictory with verse 2 in speaking of blessing for those who remain in Jerusalem over against those who are escaped of Israel. And all of this fits perfectly with the time in which we are living today. ^isa4-3
