Bible Question: Hi everyone i am starting to read the bible. I don't have any direction so I started with Isaiah. I just read Isaiah 6 and would love someone to interpet what i read. thank you for your insight. |
Bible Answer: Looking Hi and welcome to the forum. Isaiah 6 is one of my favorites. Isaiah is being commissioned to be God’s prophet. God reveals His glory to Isaiah and Isaiah realizing his sinfulness falls before the Lord begging mercy. God has an angel touch a coal to Isaiah’s lips signifying Isaiah’s purification for the work of the Lord. Then the question is asked who is GO! Who will be my spokes person? To this Isaiah says “Here am I send me.” Signifying Isaiah’s submission to being a useable servant of the Lord. God then charges Isaiah to be His messenger to go to the people and speak to them on His (God’s ) behalf. He is to speak of their sin and their refusal to acknowledge their responsibility in it, even to the point they will refuse to hear God’s own Son Jesus. They will continue to deny their sin even as God allows pestilence to overcome them. Their cities will be destroyed and they will be scattered as we seen happen in 70 AD when Rome basically destroyed Israel and scattered the Jews around the civilized world. Yet there is a promise here. God will bring a remnant back and from that remnant just as new life springs from a stump of tree cut down this remnant will once again turn their hearts toward God. See this beginning to take place in Israel today as the Jew return and hunger to once again worship God. EdB |
