Isaiah 6: 1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory."
4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.
Isaiah sees angles. And he heard them calling ‘holy holy holy’ In Hebrew language, when they want to emphasize they would stated it twice. In this passage, it shows the highest degree of emphasis. It has been only used in this manner twice. Once in Isaiah another in Rev 4: 8. When they were crying the inner parts of the door which is stable and throne room of God shook. Wah how loud would that have been.
Isaiah Saw. Isaiah6 :5- He realizes who he is in the glimpse of the Glory of God. Angles bring cleansing. Then God speaks. Just like Isaiah all of us need a fresh vision of Jesus. But Stop how was it possible. Lets go back into how this passage started. King Uzziah died. 2Chron 26:1-5 – So long he sought after the Lord he prospered. He restores Judah (2Chron 26:16-19). PRIDE enters Uzziah. A spirit of pride and a spirit of religion comes along hand in hand. They strengthen ach other.
Pride keeps you from admitting you have become religious and religion covers up your pride by spiritual behaviour.
Leprosy – A type of judgement for an outward manifestation of a inward problem. Usually sexual sin is Pride (inward) problem. Pride must die. To the degree PRIDE dies will be the degree you will see God.
Paul in Phil 3:4-6 says that whatever Doctorate in theology (Hebrew of Hebrews) or a Pharisee (Spiritual and Political leader), he counts it to be dung (Phil 3:8). And he would press on meaning there are oppression and resistance to achieve the high goal. What is the Goal of our High Call? (Phil 3:10) So that we might know Him. Primarily it is not to cast out demons or heal the sick or preach the gospel to the nations (although these are good). “ But one thing I do, and forgetting these things behind.
