Yeshayah 6
6
1In the year that the Melech Uziyah died, I saw Adonoi sitting upon a kisse, high and lifted up, and His robe filled the Heikhal.
2Above Him stood ministering the#6:2 flaming seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he did fly.
3And one cried unto another, and said, Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, is Hashem Tzva'os; kol ha'aretz is full of His kavod.
4And the doorposts shook at the voice of him that cried, and the Beis#6:4 Hamikdash was filled with smoke.
5Then said I, Oy (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 mine eyes have seen HaMelech, Hashem Tzva'os.
6Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his yad, which he had taken with the tongs from off the Mizbe'ach:
7And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Hinei, this hath touched thy lips; and thine avon (iniquity) is taken away, and kapporah is made for the purging of thy chattat (sin).
8Also I heard the voice of Adonoi, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us? Then said I, Hineini; send me.
9And He said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see indeed, but perceive not.
10Make the lev HaAm hazeh stubborn, and make their ears stopped up, their eyes heavy; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their lev. And have a spiritual turnaround conversion, and be healed.
11Then cried I, Adonoi, ad mosai (how much longer [will this go on])? And He answered, Until the towns be wasted without inhabitant, and the batim (houses) are without man, and the ground be utterly desolate, a wilderness,
12And Hashem have removed men far away, and there be many forsaken places within the land.
13But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall be given up to destruction, like the terebinth and like the oak, when they are felled, leave#6:13 as a remnant a root-stump: so the root-stump shall be the zera kodesh.#6:13 T.N. This next chapter is possibly the most important in the Bible and is dealt with in The Translator to the Reader.

A Vision of the Lord in the Temple
1 #
2 K 15.7; 2 Ch 26.23. In the year that King Uzziah died,#6.1 the year that King Uzziah died: Probably 742 b.c. I had a vision of the Lord. He was on his throne high above, and his robe filled the temple. 2Flaming creatures with six wings each were flying over him. They covered their faces with two of their wings and their bodies with two more. They used the other two wings for flying, 3#Rev 4.8. as they shouted,
“Holy, holy, holy,
Lord All-Powerful!
The earth is filled
with your glory.”
4 #
Rev 15.8. As they shouted, the doorposts of the temple shook, and the temple was filled with smoke. 5Then I cried out, “I'm doomed! Everything I say is sinful, and so are the words of everyone around me. Yet I have seen the King, the Lord All-Powerful.”
6One of the flaming creatures flew over to me with a burning coal that it had taken from the altar with a pair of metal tongs. 7It touched my lips with the hot coal and said, “This has touched your lips. Your sins are forgiven, and you are no longer guilty.”
8After this, I heard the Lord ask, “Is there anyone I can send? Will someone speak for us?”
“I'll go,” I answered. “Send me!”
9 #
Mt 13.14,15; Mk 4.12; Lk 8.10; Jn 12.40; Ac 28.26,27. Then the Lord told me to go and speak this message to the people:
“You will listen and listen,
but never understand.
You will look and look,
but never see.”
The Lord also said,
10“Make these people stubborn!
Make them stop up
their ears,
cover their eyes,
and fail to understand.
Don't let them turn to me
and be healed.”
11Then I asked the Lord, “How long will this last?”
The Lord answered:
Until their towns are destroyed and their houses are deserted, until their fields are empty, 12and I have sent them far away, leaving their land in ruins. 13If only a tenth of the people are left, even they will be destroyed. But just as stumps remain after trees have been cut down,#6.13 But just … down: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text. some of my chosen ones will be left.
