"On that day the Shoot of YAHWEH will be beautiful and glorious; and the fruit of the earth will be honor and splendor for the survivors of Israel.
Those who are left in Zion and remain in Jerusalem will be called holy, and who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem,
when the LORD washes away the filth of the women of Zion and purges Jerusalem of the bloodstains in its midst with the blast of searing judgment, the blast of fire.
Then will YAHWEH create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over its assemblies a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of fire by night.
For the glory of YAHWEH will be a canopy and a pavilion for all, a shade from the scorching heat by day, a refuge from the storm and rain." - Isaiah 4:2-6
(In the turbulent history of nations, GOD allows a small and insignificant people to take shape. From among them a chosen group called "Remnant" appears and takes root. As a pyramid is gradually reduced to a point, so is this remnant reduced, until it becomes only one man, the Savior. Here, HE is called the fruit of the earth. HE is also called Shoot, because HE will be the sprout for the new humanity.
