Isaiah 4
1. In the extremity of evils, Christ's kingdom shall be a sanctuary.














And there will be a booth
The word "booth" in Hebrew is "סֻכָּה" (sukkah), which refers to a temporary shelter or dwelling. Historically, booths were used during the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), symbolizing God's provision and protection during the Israelites' wilderness journey. This imagery evokes a sense of divine shelter and care, reminding believers of God's constant presence and protection in their lives, even amidst temporary and fragile circumstances.

for shade from the heat by day
The "shade" signifies relief and protection from the harshness of the sun, which in the Middle Eastern context, represents oppressive conditions or trials. Biblically, shade is often associated with God's protection (Psalm 121:5). The "heat by day" can symbolize the trials and tribulations believers face. This phrase reassures Christians that God provides relief and comfort, shielding them from life's overwhelming challenges.

and a refuge
The term "refuge" in Hebrew is "מַחְסֶה" (machseh), meaning a place of trust and safety. Throughout Scripture, God is frequently described as a refuge (Psalm 46:1), emphasizing His role as a protector and sanctuary for His people. This word encourages believers to seek God as their ultimate source of security and peace amidst life's uncertainties.

and hiding place
A "hiding place" suggests a secret or secure location where one can find safety. In the biblical context, it implies intimacy and closeness with God, where believers can find solace and protection. This phrase invites Christians to draw near to God, finding comfort and security in His presence, much like David did when he declared God as his hiding place (Psalm 32:7).

from the storm and the rain
The "storm and the rain" symbolize chaos, trials, and divine judgment. In ancient times, storms were often seen as manifestations of divine power and judgment. However, this verse promises protection from such adversities. For believers, it serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and His ability to shield His people from both physical and spiritual tempests, reinforcing the assurance of His steadfast love and protection.

(6) And there shall be a tabernacle.--Perhaps It shall be . . . The thought is that of Psalm 27:5; Psalm 31:20. In the manifested glory of Jehovah men would find, as the traveller finds in his tent, a protection against all forms of danger, against the scorching heat of noon, and against the pelting storm.

Verse 6. - And there shall be, etc.; rather, and it (i.e. "the canopy") shall be a tabernacle, or bower, a shelter from the sun's heat by day, and from storm and rain both by day and night. The metaphors need no explanation.
