Isaiah 6, Unworthy to see the HOLY, HOLY, HOLY KING!

Isa 6:1, 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.

King Uzziah was a great king of Israel, who did what was right in the sight of the LORD! He reigned 52 years, but had a tragic end! Isaiah was sad to see a great leader die, but then he saw that “GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE”!

Psa 47:6-8, SING PRAISES TO GOD, SING PRAISES! SING PRAISES TO OUR KING, SING PRAISES! FOR GOD IS THE KING OF ALL THE EARTH; Sing praises with understanding. GOD REIGNS OVER THE NATIONS; GOD SITS ON HIS HOLY THRONE.

Isa 6:2, 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.

These seraphim were blameless, sinless, YET in humility would cover themselves before the HOLY, HOLY, HOLY GOD!

Isa 6:3, And one cried to another and said: “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD OF HOSTS; THE WHOLE EARTH IS FULL OF HIS GLORY!”

Job said that we only see the edges of HIS Glory here on earth (Job 26:14), but of what we do see were in awe of HIS glory!

Psa 19:1-2, …THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD; AND THE FIRMAMENT SHOWS HIS HANDIWORK. DAY UNTO DAY UTTERS SPEECH, AND NIGHT UNTO NIGHT REVEALS KNOWLEDGE. 

Isa 6:5, 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.” 

If the sinless Seraphim hid their faces before the LORD then sinful Isaiah thought that he would die before the HOLY ONE!

Rom 5:8, But GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. 

We’re not worthy to stand before a HOLY, HOLY, HOLY GOD, but because of the work of HIS SON JESUS we now have access to the FATHER!

Heb 4:16, LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY TO THE THRONE OF GRACE, THAT WE MAY OBTAIN MERCY AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED.

Isaiah 5, What more could HE have done for us?

Isa 5:1-2, Now let me sing to my Well-beloved A song of my Beloved regarding HIS vineyard: MY WELL-BELOVED HAS A VINEYARD On a very fruitful hill. He dug it up and cleared out its stones, And planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in its midst, And also made a winepress in it; SO HE EXPECTED IT TO BRING FORTH GOOD GRAPES, BUT IT BROUGHT FORTH WILD GRAPES.

The LORD has a vineyard, verse 7 “ISRAEL”, who had so much advantages than any other! The LORD took care of it and protected it, BUT IT PRODUCED POISONOUS GRAPES?

Isa 5:3-4, “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, JUDGE, PLEASE, BETWEEN ME AND MY VINEYARD. WHAT MORE COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO MY VINEYARD THAT I HAVE NOT DONE IN IT? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, Did it bring forth wild grapes?

What more could GOD had done for Israel, and even us gentiles? So many people blame GOD, yet do not consider what HE has done for us! HE allowed HIMSELF to be crucified on that cross in order pay our debt “sin”; Yet so many ignore HIM and even hate HIM?

Dan 9:26, “…MESSIAH SHALL BE CUT OFF, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF;

Isa 5:5, And now, PLEASE LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I WILL DO TO MY VINEYARD: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down. 

GOD is love and HE loves HIS people, but HE is also JUST! HE sent Assyria to judge Israel!

Isa 10:6, I will send him against an ungodly nation, And AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF MY WRATH I WILL GIVE HIM CHARGE, To seize the spoil, to take the prey, And to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 

Israel rejected GOD, wild grapes, and then rejected their own MESSIAH JESUS. GOD’s wrath upon HIS own people is hot, YET HE SHALL PRESERVE HIS REMNANT! Rom 9:27.

Isa 5:13, THEREFORE MY PEOPLE HAVE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE…

Even though we may not see GOD’s physical presence; KNOW THAT HE IS ALWAYS THERE! YOU ARE NOT FOOLING HIM FOR HE SEES ALL YOU DO AND KNOWS YOUR THOUGHTS!

Hos 4:6, MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. BECAUSE YOU HAVE REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I also will reject you from being priest for ME; BECAUSE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF YOUR GOD, I ALSO WILL FORGET YOUR CHILDREN. 

WHAT MORE COULD HE HAVE DONE FOR US?

Isaiah 4, is your name in the book of the LAMB?

Isa 4:1, And in that day SEVEN WOMEN SHALL TAKE HOLD OF ONE MAN, saying, “We will eat our own food and wear our own apparel; ONLY LET US BE CALLED BY YOUR NAME, TO TAKE AWAY OUR REPROACH.” 

Because of sin, the LORD’s wrath came upon HIS own people, and many men fell by the sword (Isa 3:25); FOR JUDGEMENT FIRST STARTS AT HOME THEN TO EVERYONE ELSE!

1Pe 4:17, FOR THE TIME HAS COME FOR JUDGMENT TO BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD; AND IF IT BEGINS WITH US FIRST, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 

Isa 4:2, IN THAT DAY THE BRANCH OF THE LORD SHALL BE BEAUTIFUL AND GLORIOUS; And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing FOR THOSE OF ISRAEL WHO HAVE ESCAPED.

Now Isaiah gets a vision of the future, and he see’s the BRANCH of the LORD! As a tree has many branches there shall be one BRANCH of the seed of Jesse, father of king David by the name of JESUS, THE SON GOD! JER 23:5, 33:15, ZEC 3:8

Isa 11:1, There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, AND A BRANCH SHALL GROW OUT OF HIS ROOTS. 

For those that have escaped? In WWII, Hitler killed one-third of the LORD’s people, the Jewish nation! Yet, in the near future HIS word says two-thirds shall die in the coming judgement of Israel! But a remnant shall live!

Zec 13:8, And it shall come to pass in all the land,” Says the LORD, “THAT TWO-THIRDS IN IT SHALL BE CUT OFF AND DIE, BUT ONE-THIRD SHALL BE LEFT IN IT: 

Isa 4:3, And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy—EVERYONE WHO IS RECORDED AMONG THE LIVING IN JERUSALEM. 

Did you know there are books that record everything you do in life? It is the book of life, and it contains all the names of everyone who was born on this earth! Yet, if you follow your own way then your name will be blotted out!

Rev 20:15, And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. 

There is another book, way more important! It is the LAMB’s book of life!

Rev 21:27, But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, BUT ONLY THOSE WHO ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE. 

When one comes to faith in JESUS it seals your name in the book of life, and it’s copied into the book of the LAMB! DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR NAME IS WRITTEN IN HIS BOOK?

Isaiah 3, The wrath of our Loving GOD!

Isa 3:1-3, For behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, TAKES AWAY FROM JERUSALEM AND FROM JUDAH The stock and the store, The whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water; The mighty man and the man of war, The judge and the prophet, And the diviner and the elder; The captain of fifty and the honorable man, The counselor and the skillful artisan, And the expert enchanter.

Because of sin and corruption in Israel, the LORD not only took away their provisions, but their leaders, prophets, judges, honorable men, counselor etc.. 

2Ki 24:14, Also he carried into captivity all Jerusalem: all the captains and all the mighty men of valor, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths. NONE REMAINED EXCEPT THE POOREST PEOPLE OF THE LAND. 

Isa 3:4, 6, “I WILL GIVE CHILDREN TO BE THEIR PRINCES, AND BABES SHALL RULE OVER THEM…. When a man takes hold of his brother In the house of his father, saying, “YOU HAVE CLOTHING; YOU BE OUR RULER, And let these ruins be under your power,” 

Instead of wise competent leaders, they are replaced by children without understanding. They think only of themselves rather than others! Like our leaders today!

Ecc 10:16, WOE TO YOU, O LAND, when your king is a child, And your princes feast in the morning! 

YES, the LORD is loving, but HE is also just and HE will reward you according to what you have sown! Whether good or bad!

Isa 3:10-11, “SAY TO THE RIGHTEOUS THAT IT SHALL BE WELL WITH THEM, FOR THEY SHALL EAT THE FRUIT OF THEIR DOINGS. WOE TO THE WICKED! IT SHALL BE ILL WITH HIM, FOR THE REWARD OF HIS HANDS SHALL BE GIVEN HIM.

Judgement is coming, and we will receive what we deserve; for HE keeps accurate records of all we say, do and think!

2Co 5:10, For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 

Isa 3:25-26, Your men shall fall by the sword, And your mighty in the war. Her gates shall lament and mourn, And she being desolate shall sit on the ground.

Judgement came for Israel by the hands of Assyria, and it’s also coming here to our country. For the cry slaughtered children, and the corruption of this country has reached HIS ears! Remember HE is loving, but also Just!

Isaiah 2, Judgement before HIS glorious appearing!

Isa 2:2, Now it shall come to pass IN THE LATTER DAYS THAT THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD’S HOUSE SHALL BE ESTABLISHED ON THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS, AND SHALL BE EXALTED ABOVE THE HILLS; AND ALL NATIONS SHALL FLOW TO IT. 

Isaiah has a vision of the future temple, in the kingdom age, after the tribulation when JESUS shall be crowned KING of all the earth!

Zec 14:9, AND THE LORD SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH….

Isa 2:3, Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

HE shall rule the whole earth in righteousness, and many out of fear shall go to Jerusalem to go before the KING!

Zec 8:22-23, Yes, MANY PEOPLES AND STRONG NATIONS Shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, And to pray before the LORD.’ “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘IN THOSE DAYS TEN MEN FROM EVERY LANGUAGE OF THE NATIONS SHALL GRASP THE SLEEVE OF A JEWISH MAN, SAYING, “LET US GO WITH YOU, FOR WE HAVE HEARD THAT GOD IS WITH YOU.” ‘ “

But before this day, comes judgement; THE DAY OF THE LORD! FOR THE WHOLE EARTH HAS CORRUPTED ITSELF AGAINST THE LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY!

Isa 2:18-19, But the idols He shall utterly abolish. THEY SHALL GO INTO THE HOLES OF THE ROCKS, AND INTO THE CAVES OF THE EARTH, FROM THE TERROR OF THE LORD AND THE GLORY OF HIS MAJESTY, When He arises to shake the earth mightily.

Rev 6:16-17, and said to the mountains and rocks, “FALL ON US AND HIDE US FROM THE FACE OF HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE AND FROM THE WRATH OF THE LAMB! FOR THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH HAS COME, AND WHO IS ABLE TO STAND?”

Judgement will come first, then the glorious appearing of our Great GOD and Savior JESUS shall appear! All eyes shall see HIM!

Mat 24:30, THEN THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN WILL APPEAR IN HEAVEN, AND THEN ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH WILL MOURN, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS of heaven with power and great glory.

WE NEED TO PREPARE OURSELVES FOR THE TIME IS ALMOST UPON US! WE SHALL SEE HIM FACE TO FACE! COME LORD JESUS COME!

Isaiah 1, Life or death it’s a choice that we ALL make!

Isa 1:2-3 NLT, Listen, O heavens! Pay attention, earth! THIS IS WHAT THE LORD SAYS: “The children I raised and cared for have rebelled against me. Even an ox knows its owner, and a donkey recognizes its master’s care—but Israel doesn’t know its master. MY PEOPLE DON’T RECOGNIZE MY CARE FOR THEM.”

GOD has always been faithful to Israel, yet going to HIS sanctuary had become just what people do! Like going to church today without learning anything, looking at your watch, running out as soon as the service is over! The LORD cared for them, But Israel forgot HIM!

Isa 1:9, UNLESS THE LORD OF HOSTS HAD LEFT TO US A VERY SMALL REMNANT, We would have become like Sodom, We would have been made like Gomorrah. 

The LORD could have wiped Israel off the face of the earth, but HE is faithful to the promise he had given Abraham!

Gen 22:16-17, and said: “BY MYSELF I HAVE SWORN, SAYS THE LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— BLESSING I WILL BLESS YOU, AND MULTIPLYING I WILL MULTIPLY YOUR DESCENDANTS AS THE STARS OF THE HEAVEN…

Isa 1:16-17, “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.

YET GOD pleads with HIS people; wash yourselves, make yourselves clean! Learn to do good, defend those that need help!

Isa 1:18, “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “THOUGH YOUR SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET, THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW; THOUGH THEY ARE RED LIKE CRIMSON, THEY SHALL BE AS WOOL. 

We are all guilty and deserve punishment, but HE offers a different ending! HE wants to forgive you not destroy you! REMEMBER, HEAVEN IS NOT MADE FOR GOOD PEOPLE, IT’S FOR FORGIVEN PEOPLE ONLY!

Isa 1:28, The destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together, And those who forsake the LORD SHALL BE CONSUMED. 

HE wants to wash away our sins, but sad to say most will choose destruction out of pride, ignorance and rebellion! IT’S A CHOICE, AND IF YOU CHOSE TO IGNORE IT, THEN YOUR CHOICE IS SEALED BY YOUR OWN WILL!

Rom 6:23, FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.
