Isaiah 4:4 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.
Luke 12:45-48
45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
These verses boy oh boy they are confusing first what is the spirit of burning and judgement also what is the light beating the servant gets for being ignorant and heavy beating for knowing is this Purgatory Catholics, or is it Toll Houses Orthodoxs, or is it something else whatever you guys believe I would love to see you guys interpretations.
(no debating opinions everyone can express their own opinion).

I am going to provide the simple answers because if you want to know what the in depth answers are you have free access to numerous Bible commentaries online. I strongly recommend that anyone having a question about the meaning of a verse should read several different commentaries and if there is still a question they should reach out to others.
Isaiah 4:4 is about judgment related to the previous chapter and indicates that those who turn to Jesus will be saved. The Luke verses are about judgement of the knowing and unknowing and indicates that those who sin knowingly will be dealt with more harshly than those who sin unknowingly. The more you know and understand God the more responsible you are for doing the will of God.

Well to start Isaiah is a prophesy and Luke is a parable. Isaiah from chapter 1-6 proclaims judgment on Judah while leaving hope to the remnant who are the righteous elect. Jesus Christ of Nazareth shares a parable about the heavy burden one takes on if they claim to know the will of the Father yet does not obey Him.

The spirit of judgement and burning or fire is just that...Christ Jesus said He would leave the world and send the Holy Spirit and the Spirit would convict the world of sin (John 16:1-8) because Satan would stand condemned. All people are taught through the Spirit about the wrongness of sin and the need of righteousness. This is not pleasant but rather a trial because we are all sinful by nature and so come to feel we are sinners and by right should be condemned (hell fire)...but thanks be to God He sent Jesus to take our place and make us right with God. It is thus a wounding and a healing...He wounds and binds up (Isaiah 30:26). It is the work of His sword...the Word of God...which is the tool of the Holy Spirit. The true healing...the knowledge of Salvation through Christ.
The beatings are at least in part this process of being visited by the Holy Spirit to do this work of wounding and healing. The wounding will be greater to the biggest sinners...those who have more spiritual knowledge are thus more responsible and also more deserving of the hell fires or condemnation and will feel the wounds accordingly. Those who submit to God are healed by His great and powerful Gospel of salvation.

The Isaiah passage is about the post-7th Trumpet gathering of Israel, on the earth.
The Luke passage is about a warning to a lazy church that is not watching, on the earth.
I don't understand how you connect these things to some kind of afterlife place of limbo.

Not for me to argue nor did I argue that.
