Isaiah 4:4

     4. When—that is, After.

      washed— (Zec 13:1).

      filth—moral (Isa 1:21-25).

      daughters of Zion—same as in Isa 3:16.

      purged—purified by judgments; destroying the ungodly, correcting and refining the godly.

      blood— (Isa 1:15).

      spirit—Whatever God does in the universe, He does by His Spirit, "without the hand" of man (Job 34:20; Ps 104:30). Here He is represented using His power as Judge.

      burning— (Mt 3:11, 12). The same Holy Ghost, who sanctifies believers by the fire of affliction (Mal 3:2, 3), dooms unbelievers to the fire of perdition (1Co 3:13-15).
