‏ Isaiah 4:3

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

shall be called--shall be (Is 9:6).

holy--(Is 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).
