Isaiah 4:3

     3. left in Zion—equivalent to the "escaped of Israel" (Isa 4:2).

      shall be called—shall be (Isa 9:6).

      holy— (Isa 52:1; 60:21; Re 21:27).

      written—in the book of life, antitypically (Php 4:3; Re 3:5; 17:8). Primarily, in the register kept of Israel's families and tribes.

      living—not "blotted out" from the registry, as dead; but written there as among the "escaped of Israel" (Da 12:1; Eze 13:9). To the elect of Israel, rather than the saved in general, the special reference is here (Joe 3:17).
