Isaiah 6:1-13
6:1-4 Isaiah had a vision of the Lord sitting on His throne. In the vision, God wore a long robe and was surrounded by angels. An angel declared God as the holy authority over the whole earth. The voice was bold and strong and shook the House of God Isaiah found himself to be in.
6:5 Isaiah was shaken with awe by the glorious vision. He declared himself to be unclean, unworthy of seeing God, the true King.
6:6-7 One of the angels flew to Isaiah and cleansed him, his mouth specifically, for Isaiah was chosen by God to be a prophet.
6:8 The Lord spoke: Whom shall I send? And who will go for Us? And Isaiah elected to be the one! Isaiah wanted to be a prophet for God; he wanted to dedicate his life to God's mission.
6:9 The Lord told Isaiah to visit His people and explain to them that though the word of the Lord is among them, they are not learning it. Though it is within their sight, they are neglecting it, turning their gaze to fruitless things.
6:10 God even had a plan to dull the understanding of some of the people, for He knew that if they paid and attention and learned to do better... but did not actually do it, they would be doubly guilty.
6:11-12 God wanted Isaiah to move and speak as His prophet until His plan was finished. God's plan was to make the corrupt city desolate. He was sending Judah into captivity where they would be humbled from their evil ways and once again seek the Lord and His righteousness.
6:13 Though God planned to clear the city, a remnant would remain: those who remained faithful.
