“I Will Make a Man More Precious Than Fine Gold”

Bryan Richards

If men actually become precious in the eyes of women, this will be one of the Lord's greatest miracles. The concept being portrayed by Isaiah is that so many men will die in the wars attending the Second Coming that there will be a great mismatch between the numbers of living men and women. Men will only be "precious" in the sense that there will be relatively few of them left. Hence the unpopular but accurate passage, 'seven women shall take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel; only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach' (Isa 4:1).
