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.

Isaiah 6

God Calls Isaiah to be a Prophet

2 Kgs 15.7; 2 Chr 26.23 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord. He was sitting on his throne, high and exalted, and his robe filled the whole Temple. 2Round him flaming creatures were standing, each of which had six wings. Each creature covered its face with two wings, and its body with two, and used the other two for flying. 3#Rev 4.8They were calling out to each other:
“Holy, holy, holy!
The LORD Almighty is holy!
His glory fills the world.”

Rev 15.8
The sound of their voices made the foundation of the Temple shake, and the Temple itself was filled with smoke.
5I said, “There is no hope for me! I am doomed because every word that passes my lips is sinful, and I live among a people whose every word is sinful. And yet, with my own eyes, I have seen the King, the LORD Almighty!”
6Then one of the creatures flew down to me, carrying a burning coal that he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. 7He touched my lips with the burning coal and said, “This has touched your lips, and now your guilt is gone, and your sins are forgiven.”
8Then I heard the Lord say, “Whom shall I send? Who will be our messenger?”
I answered, “I will go! Send me!”

Mt 13.14–15; Mk 4.12; Lk 8.10; Jn 12.40; Acts 28.26–27 So he told me to go and give the people this message: “No matter how much you listen, you will not understand. No matter how much you look, you will not know what is happening.” 10Then he said to me, “Make the minds of these people dull, their ears deaf, and their eyes blind, so that they cannot see or hear or understand. If they did, they might turn to me and be healed.”
11I asked, “How long will it be like this, Lord?”
He answered, “Until the cities are ruined and empty — until the houses are uninhabited — until the land itself is a desolate waste. 12I will send the people far away and make the whole land desolate. 13Even if one person out of ten remains in the land, he too will be destroyed; he will be like the stump of an oak tree that has been cut down.”
(The stump represents a new beginning for God's people.)
