Read Isa. 4:1-6
There is more prophecy in the Bible about Jesus second coming than his first. I guess that is why the scribes and pharisees missed it. This is definitely a prophecy about the second. The first verse gives us a hint as to what will be going on when he comes. The ratio of women to men will be 7:1 because something (probably war) has killed most of the men. There seems to be so much fear in the land that women are willing to pay a man to marry them and give them a sense of worth. The rest of the chapter describes the Lord's second coming. It will be glorious. He is not coming this time despised and rejected, a man of sorrows but as a beautiful glorious branch of the Lord. He will proclaim Jerusalem holy and everyone left living there. Those that rebelled against his gospel will be washed, purged, judged and burned. God will once again cover his people with a cloud by day and fire by night. He will restore the canopy over the earth that was there before the flood. God will set up a tabernacle where they can go to get away from the heat and a refuge from storm and rain.
I can't wait to see this happen either from heaven or earth. Prepare our hearts to be ready.
