What does Isaiah 4:6 mean?
Isaiah has been describing the glorious latter days (Isaiah 2:2) when the Messiah will reign over the survivors of Israel and the world from Mount Zion . He will create a cloud by day and a fire by night, just as He did when leading the Israelites through the wilderness (Isaiah 4:5). His glory will be with His people once more.God's presence will keep them safe from any possible harm. Isaiah continues describing that the canopy will provide protection from the sun and storms. The time he is writing the people are about to go through significant harm sent by God through the warriors of the Babylonians. He is comforting those who will listen that these terrible attacks and the captivity to follow will not be the end of Israel's story. The Lord their God and will eventually bring their future generations home to Jerusalem to be with Him for good.
