Isaiah 4:6 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 4:6

And there shall be a tabernacle
Christ, who tabernacled in our nature, and is the minister of the true tabernacle, which God pitched, and not man; who will be spiritually present in the word and ordinances, where the shepherds pitch their tents; and who will be that to his people as shepherds' tents are to them, to which the allusion is: for a shadow in the day time from the heat:
from the heat of a fiery law, which works wrath; from the flaming sword of justice, which calls for vengeance; from the wrath of God, which is poured forth like fire; from Satan's temptations, compared to fiery darts; and from the violence of persecution; for there will be no more after the last struggle of the beast, and the slaying of the witnesses: and for a place of refuge;
until the indignation be over and past: as Christ is a refuge for sensible sinners to flee unto for safety, from avenging justice, and the wrath of God; so he is a place of security, and has his chambers of safety for saints, from all dangers, and from every enemy, ( Isaiah 26:20 Isaiah 26:21 ) : and for a covert from storm and from rain;
from the blast of the terrible ones, the antichristian powers, which will be as a storm against a wall, ( Isaiah 25:4 ) this will be the hour of temptation, which will come upon and try them that dwell upon the earth, from which Christ will preserve his faithful ones, ( Revelation 3:10 ) ( Isaiah 32:2 ) .
