ISAIAH 4:1 C. H. Cayce “And in that day 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.” The word seven in Scripture denotes a perfect number. The word woman or women refers to institutions. Sometimes the word woman refers to the true Church, but is always in the singular when it does. Sometimes it refers to some other institution. The word women always refers to other institutions. In this text it refers to institutions claiming the name of Christ, for He is the one man referred to. The true bride depends upon the husband to furnish the bread and clothing when he can. These women propose to furnish their own bread and clothing. Hence they are not the true bride or church. All they want is to wear His name. They expect to live by their own efforts, and they expect to be saved in heaven because of their own good deeds. They propose to eat their own bread and wear their own apparel. The true church depends upon the Lord to furnish the bread, or to provide a living, and she expects to reach heaven and immortal glory upon no other ground than that of the righteousness of Christ imputed to her. She is depending upon Him to furnish the bread and the clothing. This is the Old Baptist Church. The Primitive Baptist, May 19, 1914.
