Isaiah 4:4-6
When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning, 5 then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering. 6 And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.

God's cleansing judgment in Christ gives us a place to stand before Him at last, much as the Branch, the Messiah (Christ) was to do here in Isaiah. Just as God led the exodus from Egypt with a pillar of smoke by day and fire by night, so He leads His people now in glory, giving relief in the heat of the day and protection in the storms of life.
