WOMEN WILL LAMENT -- THE LAST SIGN BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF "THE WAY".
Just prior to the "Way of Holiness" taking place on earth, "careless daughters" who have rejected the Spirit of our Lord God in their lives, will tremble and lament. For they will be given the inner knowledge that they have lost all hope of salvation. This will be the reward for their work of helping to create an unGodly people, for their contribution toward making the majority in God's "land" (in His congregations) like "thorns and briars". (Isaiah 32:9-13). By means of this trembling within them, these "daughters" will soon be made to realise that they were only capable of giving birth to children who would become unprincipled scoundrels, offspring without hope existing for them to be saved through The Christ. For it says, "the vintage will be over and no produce gathered in". (Isaiah 32:10-12 NEB). For these reasons, they will lament over the proven uselessness of their generative powers, over their "fruit-bearing vines". The scriptural "soil" represents the spirit "land" of God's people. The prophecy of Isaiah 32:9-14 particularly refers to hypocritical good-for-nothing congregations who claim to live in Christ's name, but whose natures have become "thorny", and while our "wilderness" is now "a fruitful field". (Adherents to Catholicism are the "confirmed drunkards" of Matthew 24:49 NWT).

"PRINCES".
Only obedient spiritual men, whom our Lord Jesus deems to be his "Princes", will minister according to the "Way of Holiness". They will be like shelter from troublesome distresses, symbolically described as a "concealment from the rainstorm". These men will administer only to those already walking on "The Way". (Isaiah 32:1,2. 35:8 NWT). Unprincipled scoundrels in his congregations will no longer be thought of as noble --as people think them to be at the present time-- for there will be no shelter for such ones.

FOR MERCY MUST ALSO HAVE ITS WORK COMPLETE.
As the period designated for the "good news" of salvation through The Christ for the early 'produce' (for new "babes" according to the Spirit) has now ceased (see Rev 10:7), and the current "vintage" (the last spirit "creations" of God's people under the "good news" by His Christ) is also deemed by God to be finished (when sending His Christ to judge mankind), there would be no further purpose in showing mercy any longer to the remaining unprincipled men, women and their offspring on earth. This is for the reason stated in Isaiah's prophecy, that their produce on the "fruit-bearing vine" is "merely thorns, spiny bushes". Therefore, further hope of salvation for them will have come to an end. (Isaiah 32:9-13), Consequently, continuing to show mercy to such ones would only prolong their troublesomeness against God's gathered ones, without any possible resulting benefit. So they will be sent away without shelter, and without mercy.

As to the "Way of Holiness", it is prophesied to come from a fresh beginning, through the returning of His people from a previously uncultivated place, the "wilderness" condition we were sent into, and "The Way" will blossom. Then also will our God come with "dread retribution" to save us. Villainous persons who deny justice to the needy will be destroyed. We will certainly come to Zion with a joyful cry. Then "grief and sighing must flee away". (Isaiah 35:1,4,10. 33:1).
