In that day - Isaiah 4

 

"In that day" is mentioned twice in this chapter, first one in verse 1 and second time in verse 2.

What does this mean "In that day?"

I must confess that I am not 100% sure if this prophesy is complete or still in process of been fulfilled.

I will give you my view on what Isaiah said in chapter 4 1-2, and I pray the Set-apart (Holy) Spirit guides you and I in understanding this writing from the prophet.

What does the 2 verses say about "in that day!"

 

Verse 1 many women (believers) shall come to one man (believer) and say, we will have our own belongings and make our own food but only let us be married to you so that our disgrace/shame can be taken away from us.

Verse 2 The Branch (Messiah) will be beautiful (known) and be glorified and the fruit of the earth shall be blessed for the true believers.

"In that day," can mean two things in my view; First view of verse 1:  There were more woman than men during the period when Israel were at war and many men were killed. This would be a period between all the Kings of Israel, starting with David until the Messiah came. Believing woman wanted to be married to one believing man so they can be spiritually covered.

First view of verse 2: When Messiah came in the time when Israel was under the rule of other nations like example Rome, believers who truly followed Yahuah accepted and followed the Messiah. These believers in Messiah were blessed in all their ways.

Second view of verse 1 is future: There will be more believing woman then believing men in the near future and many believing woman will want to stay or be married to this single believing man so they can be spiritually covered.

Second view of verse 2 is future: Only at the second coming of Messiah will the new Kingdom of Yahuah be beautiful, glorified completely and the true believing Israel will be blessed in all their ways.

 

I have two questions on these two verses which I do not have a clear answer?

Firstly, are the two verses related to each other or are they two different prophesies.

Secondly, has this prophesy happened already or is it still to happen or did it happen already but it will happen a second time in the near future.

Oh Yahuah, I pray Your Set-apart Spirit (Holy Spirit) gives me understanding.
