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.
