Book of Prophets Isaiah Chapter 6

ISAIAH 

CHAPTER 

6

1. In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple. 2. Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. 3. And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory."

(Book of Prophets Isaiah Chapter 6 verses 1 to 3)

Oh God what a majestic sight even the Seraphs cover their faces in Your Holy presence, while giving You praise and worship. Oh what an experience to spend all the time of my life in Your presence giving You praise and worship! What a sight for sore eyes! How I wish that when my time is over on earth, I will be worthy of being in Your presence at some point in time.

4. The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of those who called, and the house filled with smoke. 5. And I said; "Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"

(Book of Prophets Isaiah Chapter 6 verses 4 to 5)

Oh God who can stand the power of Your presence. During the time of the prophet there was the belief that nobody can stand in the presence of God and remain alive. This is why Isaiah reacted in this way. If you oh prophet person of God considered yourself a person with unclean lips, how more can I declare myself as being of pure lips and righteous.

6. Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. 7. The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: "Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out."

(Book of Prophets Isaiah Chapter 6 verses 6 to 7)

Oh dear God I also pray that You consecrate my mind, so that my thoughts will be like Yours, my lips shall proclaim Your words and my behaviour will reflect your presence that dwells in us.

8. Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,  "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" 9. And I said, "Here am I send me!

(Book of Prophets Isaiah Chapter 6 verses 8 to 9)

Oh God may I also be ready to do what You wish me to do. May our wills be according to Your will, may we be open to hear Your voice and obey Your will. Amen.

9. And he said, "Go and say to this people: 'Keep listening, but do not comprehend; keep looking, but do not understand.' 10. Make the mind of this people dull, and stop their ears, and shut their eyes, so that they may not look with their eyes, and listen with their ears, and comprehend with their minds, and turn and be healed."

(Book of Prophets Isaiah Chapter 6 verses 9 to 10)

Oh God we are living such moments. We think that we are seeing reality, however this is not the case, for if we are seeing the true picture meaning also the consequences of our positive and negative actions we would surely not do them. When we are polluting the air, sea and drinking water in the name of progress and advances in technology and even warfare, we are killing ourselves. When we are giving legal consent, for the marriage of people of the same gender we are killing our society, when we are hindering illegal immigrants from entering Europe, we are committing suicide of our ageing society, for such new members of our society can bring new life on many levels. Even though we may be afraid that they be Muslims, there are many other people from different nations who are seeking asylum due to negative conditions  in their countries.

11. Then I said, "How long, O Lord?" And he said: "until cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is utterly desolate; 12. until the LORD sends everyone far away, and vast is the emptiness in the midst of the land. 13. Even if a tenth part remain in it, it will be burned again, like a terebith or an oak whose stump remains standing when it is felled." The holy seed is its stump.

(Book of Prophets Isaiah Chapter 6 verses 11 to 13)

How long oh God until the end of our life on earth. How long can You tolerate our sins and our sinful acts. We have transgressed against Your name again and again but You still love us.  Oh God Your anger and war is not against human beings. You love us and created us according to the form of humans that You yourself chose when becoming human. Your war is against Satan and his evil spirits. You are showing me this by the fact that You will send us all far away from destruction, only the earth will somehow be destroyed by fire. Then the two most powerful superpowers will wage the last and ultimate war. This is You against the Father of sin and evil.

Oh God I would like to end this chapter with the following prayer:-

Oh God almighty Father of love, justice and mercy, I thank You for loving humanity as You do. I pray that as a world we will be ready to appear before You at the end of time. I pray for the strength both spiritual and physical to overcome the tricks, drives and urges that the evil one tries to stimulate me by. Oh God he knows which buttons to press to make me become angry and blow my fuse. However God my Father I am not alone, because You are with me. Please help me to realize that when somebody wrongs me, in truth it is not that person, but the evil one who is in possession of that person in order to threaten my spiritual welfare and cause me to sin. 

Thank You Jesus.
