📖 Isaiah introduction

Read the chapter

1In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. ✦ 2Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew. ✦ 3One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!” ✦ 4The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. ✦ 5Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell among a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!” ✦ 6Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar. ✦ 7He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.” ✦ 8I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!” ✦ 9He said, “Go, and tell this people, ‘You hear indeed, but don’t understand; and you see indeed, but don’t perceive.’ ✦ 10Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.” ✦ 11Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land becomes utterly waste, ✦ 12And Yahweh has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within the land. ✦ 13If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains when they are felled; so the holy seed is its stock.” ✦

Christ at the center

Isaiah sees him most clearly: the virgin's son Immanuel, the child on David's throne, the shoot from Jesse, the light to the nations, and above all the Suffering Servant pierced for our transgressions (ch. 53).

How Isaiah 6 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
