I said those who think they are filthy rags...
Rev 22
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
Isaiah is OT the Lord has come as wrtten in the NT and those who believe, repent and are baptized receiving the Holy Ghost have been washed and are clean will continue to be as long as they continue to repent and receive their sacarment for the dirt of the world continues to rub off until one leaves this plain.

Rev 22
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

16 I Jesus have sent mine *angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Rev 14
