 11And all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne upon their faces, and worshipped God,
 12saying, Amen: The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honour and the power and the strength to our God unto the ages of the ages. [Amen.]
 13And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These that are clothed with white robes, who are they, and whence came they?

• The words “in that day” occur at the beginning of verse 2 as well as in verse 1, and here we see clearly that the “day” in question is the period that introduces the age to come. (“Isaiah 4” by F.B. Hole)
• The word translated “Branch” is used of our Lord five times in the Old Testament, and has the sense of a sprout “a Sprout of Jehovah for glory and beauty” (New Trans.). Here we see, though somewhat veiled, an allusion to the Deity of the promised Messiah. The figure used is that of a living tree putting forth a sprout which displays its own nature and character. And the living tree here is Jehovah Himself; while the words “for glory and beauty” carry our thoughts to the robes made for Aaron, and to their typical significance as stated in Hebrews 2:7. (“Isaiah 4” by F.B. Hole)
• Not only will Christ be thus revealed in that day but also a godly remnant will be found, spoken of as “them that are escaped of Israel.” This indicates how fierce and destructive of life will be the great tribulation. (“Isaiah 4” by F.B. Hole)
