Isaiah 6:2 NIV,NKJV

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 6:1-13

C.—THE THIRD PORTALIsaiah 6:0.We have already shown above, in the general introduction to the threefold entrance, that Isaiah would not place this account of his call at the head because he felt the need of preparing his readers for it. At the same time he brings it about that this, not merely elevated, but holy, and even holiest of all dramas, is put in the place that becomes a holiest of all, that is to say, not without, but within; not in aditu, but in adyto. As in the temple, the court of... read more

Isaiah VISION AND SERVICE A SERAPH’S WINGS Isa_6:2 . This is the only mention in Scripture of the seraphim. I do not need to enter upon the much-debated, and in some respects interesting, question as to whether these are to be taken as identical with the cherubim, or as to whether they are altogether imaginary and symbolical beings, nor as to whether they are identical with the angels, or part of their hierarchy. All that may be left on one side. I would only notice, before I deal with the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 6:1-13

a Call to Heroic Service Isaiah 6:1-13 Kings die; Jesus lives. See John 12:41 . We are here reminded of Acts 22:17-18 . How great the contrast between the worship of these seraphim in the Unseen-Holy and man’s perfunctory rites! Six wings -two for meditation, two for humility, and two for service. Service should take only a third of our energy. One cried unto another -one inspired spirit will awaken others. The threefold repetition of the word holy , implies the Trinity. If door-posts... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 6:1-13

We now begin the second part of the first circle of prophecy, which contains the prophecies during the reigns of Jotham and Ahaz. When Uzziah died, Isaiah was called to the exercise of a larger ministry, and was prepared for it by the special vision granted to him. This vision of the Lord was full of grace and of glory. The majesty of the Most High was manifest in the uplifted and occupied throne, in the solemn chanting of the seraphim, and by the earthquake which made the very foundations of... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Isaiah 6:1-13

The Lord High and Lifted Up Isaiah 6:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS There is a twofold vision suggested in the first verse of our study. "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne." That which concerns us is the little word, "also." It definitely suggests that Isaiah had two visions: the one was the death of Uzziah; the other was the life of the Living Lord. The one was a dark picture; the other was a picture radiant with glory. Let us consider this twofold... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 6:1-4

The Vision of God (Isaiah 6:1-4 ). At the heart of Isaiah’s ministry lies this vision of God. In it he sees the glory of God, and yet he makes no attempt to describe God Himself, probably because what he saw was indescribable. So instead he is satisfied with describing all that surrounded Him, leaving the impression of what he saw to our imagination. Analysis of Isaiah 6:1-4. a In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 6:1-13

Isaiah 6. The Call of Isaiah.— This chapter contains Isaiah’ s own account of his call to the prophetic office. Presumably it was written down some time after the event, but the interval need not have been long, nor have we any real reason for assuming that the account has been coloured by his later experience of failure. The view that he had already for some time been a prophet, and that this vision opens a new stage in his ministry, would deserve consideration only if the order of the... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 6:2

Above it stood, as ministers attending upon their Lord, and waiting to receive and execute his commands, the seraphims; certain holy and blessed angels, thus called from fire and burning, which this word properly signifies; to represent either, 1. Their nature, which is bright and glorious, subtile, and pure, and spiritual, like fire; or, 2. Their property, of fervent zeal for God’s service and glory; or, 3. Their office and present employment, which was to execute God’s vengeance upon the... read more

THE SERVICE OF THE SERAPHIMIsaiah 6:1-2; Isaiah 6:5-7. I saw also the Lord, &c.In that perfect prayer which our Lord bequeathed to His disciples we are taught to ask that God’s will may be done in earth as it is done in heaven. Thus angelic service is set before us as a model and pattern. Not that the services we are called upon to render are the same with those assigned to angels. Their sphere is heaven, ours for the present is the earth; and each of these spheres has its distinct and... read more

THE TRINITY IN UNITY(For Trinity Sunday.)Isaiah 6:1-3. In the year that King Uzziah died, &c.Scene of this sublime vision, the Temple; time, “the year that King Uzziah died.” Why is this fact mentioned? Uzziah had profaned the Temple (2 Chronicles 26:16-21); his son and successor was Jotham, the only king of the house of Judah whose character has not one dishonouring blot; was it not appropriate that, when the disobedient king was removed, and a king who honoured God and His house had... read more
