Holman Concise Bible Commentary Isaiah’s Vision (6:1–13)
Isaiah’s Vision (6:1–13). Isaiah 1–5 describes how God’s people rejected their “Holy One” (1:4; 5:24). In Isaiah 6 the prophet tells of his face-to-face encounter with this Holy God. In the year of King Uzziah’s death (740 B.C.) Isaiah received a vision of the real King, the Lord, seated on His heavenly throne. Seraphs surrounded Him, chanting “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty.” Overwhelmed by God’s splendor, Isaiah acknowledged his and his people’s sinful condition. After Isaiah was symbolically purified, the Lord commissioned him as a messenger to His spiritually insensitive people. He was to preach until judgment swept through the land and the people were carried into exile, leaving only a remnant.
Please stand out of respect for the reading of God’s Word!
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.
2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
3 And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”
4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.
7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.”
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

Oswald Chambers said, “The majority of us cannot hear anything but ourselves. And we cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to the place where we can hear the call of God is to be profoundly changed.

9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
there is no such thing as a part time Christian
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.”
