5) Conclusion
The Bible speaks of many people, in both Testaments, who had visions from God.
Ezekiel
Daniel
Isaiah
Paul
John
Stephen
These men saw things that other men never saw.
Yet., all of these visions have one common theme: God revealing Himself.
The reason they had revelations from God through visions was God’s word was incomplete.
Now that God’s word is completed, he has giving us everything we need to know about Him, His plan, mission, and purpose.
Today we do not need visions.
God gives us revelations through His word.
We can enjoy the same experiences of Old and New Testament saints through these revelations.
The problem is we have God’s word, without the revelations.
There are two reasons for this:
Preeminence - We do not believe this book is preeminent.
On one hand, we say, we are people of the book but on the other hand, we are not being changed by God’s word.
We are picking and choosing what we believe, based upon our lifestyle and culture but not God’s word.
Instead of God being the final authority, we are allowing our situations and culture be the final authority.
Personal - In the pastor’s office are many books, and each one of these books the author gives us some insight into other peoples stories or their own stories.
However, God’s word
Message
Sometimes we get so involved with what Isaiah saw that we lose sight of the message of what He saw.
To discover the message, we must understand the setting.
The opening words of chapter 6 gives us the setting.
This was a time of transition and turmoil.
Not really sure what kind of a king Jotham would become.
The torch passed from one king to another king!
What is the message of this revelation that God allowed Isaiah to see.
Place
God wanted Isaiah to see His Place - Isaiah saw the Throne - Revelations 4 gives us insight into the splendor of the Throne.
Isaiah’s focus is not on the splendor of the Throne but the God of the Throne.
What His position was - a Throne
God is not absent
Where His position is - High and lifted up
Who sat on this throne - Adonai
He has the right to be the King of the universe.
Permanence
He saw God sitting on a throne.
Uzziah was the second longest serving king of Judah - 52 years.
Regardless of how long Uzziah reigned, one thing is certain, his reign would come to an end, and a new king would replace him.
The setting is transition.
Yet, when it comes to God, there is permanence.
There is no transition.
And who He was yesterday is who He is today and who He will be tomorrow.
He is not dethronable!
Why?
He is the Almighty
Satan has failed
People have failed
He is Life
Presence
He is sitting on the Throne.
Notice what Angelic beings do at His presence.
Keep in mind, these angelic beings are perfect.
They have never sinned and they are holy.
Yet, notice what they are doing!
Reverence - Covering their face and feet was a demonstration of reverence
For the queen of England it is to bow
For the President it is to stand as He enters the room.
This speaks of understanding their relationship with God.
They knew who was superior and inferior.
- Jesus Christ is much better than the angels.
If we are to show reverence, it has to be His way, not our way (illustration: Cain)
Repetition - They are exclaiming Holy, Holy, Holy!
These angels were holy but they knew their holiness came from God.
He is different from anything else.
The God of the Bible is vastly different from all other man-made gods!
Response - The response of these angels
2 wings focused on God
2 wings focused on humbleness
2 wings service.
Moving
Isaiah
His experience is just the opposite of what we are taught by modern day Christianity.
Isaiah did not have clean hands or a pure heart.
Woe is me - Lament, a cry, passionate and filled with emotion
