Intro
The vision of the Lord produces upon Isaiah the feeling that, since he has seen the Lord, he is undone and will perish.
It seems to imply that this is the first vision of the Lord that Isaiah has had.
First he presents the heart of his message and then an account of his prophetical call
Chapter 1 General Introduction
Begin and end with hope
Isa 2”2-4
Chapters 2-5 written before Assyrian power had reached the heigh of its threat
Three years before Jeroboam II had died and now Menahem was ruler of Israel
Under Jeroboam and Uzziah the boundries had been extened to their anicent extremes and their was productivity and peace between the two
Following Jeroboam’s death anarchy in Israel and Judah also declined - thus week and declining Judah
In the year in which the old order ended God appeared to the prophet.
The great glory and national pride of Judah were now facing an end, never to rise again.
The year of Uzziah’s death (possibly 739 B.C.) may not have been the actual year of the founding of Rome, but according to tradition, the great city on the Tiber arose about this time.
From now on Judah declined more and more, and Rome increased.
The 12th year of Jotham’s co-regency and 13th year of Pekah of Israel
He Saw God
No one can see God
It was not the physcial seeing of the eyes but spiritual seeing of the prophet
“There was therefore,” as Calvin puts it, “exhibited to Isaiah such a form as enabled him, according to his capacity, to perceive the inconceivable majesty of God; and thus he attributes to God a throne, a robe, and a bodily appearance.”
He did not see God because of his spiritual state but because God choose to reveal Himself to and through Isaiah
He saw the Lord (adonai)
John 12
“seated upon a throne” King and Judge
He is already king
no standing room only - just flying
Glorious majesty
Silent prophet focuses our attention upon the unspeakable exaltation of the Lord
Isaiah is to be called to a ministry in which the sovereign power of God will be displayed, and in which judgment is to be prominent.
In preparation for such a ministry there must be a vision of God’s holiness.
Indeed, the entire scene befits the solemnity of the message
