This interpretation feels right to me, thanks.cab wrote: ↑July 8th, 2022, 7:34 am In Isaiah 4 verse 1, the seven women, then, may be a literary metaphor to the seven CHURCHES which find themselves in a desolate condition. Remember how in the previous chapter the haughty daughters of Zion (which aren't just women) find themselves cursed and exposed and have lost all their glory... In short, ALL the churches have become polluted (see 2 Nephi 28, Mormon 8)... Then finding themselves desolate and desperate, the women/daughters of Zion/churches finally begin to call on the BRIDEGROOM to take away their reproach... So desperate are they to TAKE UPON THEMSELVES HIS NAME at they present an offer similar to the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15:22-28 (desiring just the scraps of the Master's table) or that of the prodigal son when returning to his Father (offering to just be one of the servants)... Nonetheless, their humble hearts now appear acceptable before the Lord because starting in the very next verse and throughout the chapter, "the filth of the daughters of Zion" begins to be cleansed and the Holy city is FINALLY redeemed.... The barren woman finally produces spiritual fruit…. spiritually begotten sons and daughters of God.
Christ is the only man whose name it makes sense to take upon ourselves and call ourselves by.
