Discuss Isaiah 6 Page 5

How are we to take the old testament and apply it to our lives, was it written directly to Israel if so how are we to take hold of it?

Why does a thread become locked?

Many comments are very good and reading the different perceptions/interpretations of God's word helps me to understand. Also, I find many times I never considered the scripture from that angle.

It is very difficult to look at or consider perceptions when you have never experienced it. (ie. I was born American in a free country with lots of freedom to express ideas or concepts). For me, it is difficult to understand living under a king or dictator. Also suffering and tribulations that exist around the world and in the past. I hope that statement does not offend anyone.

This site is very good and useful. Having that said, I wish they would allow you to view a particular topic/thread better. Most of the time comments are locked.

I study the Bible and the comments for edification and to progress from being a babe unto meat as the apostle Paul instructs us to.

Lora, CONCERNING THE WORD "MYSTERY"

I agree with you, the mystery of God is complex.

I do not agree with you concerning the "mystery of godliness" as it pertains to Scripture you provided, being God Himself. I believe it concerns the Son of God being born of woman ( Isaiah 7:14). Jesus is the One spoken of in 1 Timothy 3:16 and the One promised in Genesis 3:15

I agree with you, Jesus is the way to salvation.

I, however, must disagree with you that God is Jesus and Jesus is God, and again will state that I believe Jesus never came claiming to be His Father.

Jesus came as the personification of the Words of the Father John 1:1-2); and His authority came from the Father; and He lost none of His Father's sheep ( John 17:12)

But Jesus is not the Father.

The word mystery only occurs in the New Testament.

The word "mystery" is the Greek word "musterion" and basically means a "secret."

There is more than one "mystery" spoken of in Scripture.

There is the mystery concerning the DURATION of time of the blindness of Israel ( Isaiah 6:9-10, Romans 11:25).

There is the mystery concerning the kingdom of God which was revealed in parables to the general public, but explained to the 12 Apostles; ( Matthew 13:10-11, 1 Peter 1:10-12)

There is the mystery concerning the fact that "we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed" ( John 11:25-26, 1 Corinthians 15:51, also look at Philippians 3:14, 1 Thessalonians 4:15, Hebrews 9:27)

There is the mystery of iniquity and lawlessness that is connected to MYSTERY BABYLON of Revelation 17:5-7, (look at Daniel 8:23, Daniel 12:4, Matthew 22:4, Acts 2:38, 2 Thessalonians 2:7)

There is the great mystery or secret concerning the Gentiles being co-heirs in the body of Christ, which was only revealed after the second rejection the King and the Kingdom by the Jews in Acts 28:17-31. This is the secret that was kept secret since the world began and what is being spoken of in Romans 16:25-26, Ephesians 3:1-12, and Colossians 1:24-27.

Yes Lynn, it should be "feet" in the descriptions of the Seraphims. Maybe, it was a typo that was not properly proof-read before going to print. Also, (and I know you've not asked this), be wary of translations that are not faithful to the original manuscripts. I'm not aware of the translation you mentioned, but we do know that many translations have altered words or even omitted words to suit their whims & fancies. You would be on the right path with the King James Version (translated from faithful manuscripts), though if reading it becomes difficult, then the New King James or New American Standard Bible are preferable to the others. As well, if you don't understand something you read and if you are a believer in Christ, then His Spirit will help you to understand. Also, you can write here & someone will guide you.

two for covering his feed,

Shouldn't it read "feet?"

( Isaiah 6:2 Basic English Bible Translation)

Ron,

According to multiple resources, including Wikipedia, and most importantly according to the internal testimony of the Bible: Isaiah was a contemporary of Amos, Hosea and Micah, and began his ministry in 740 BC., the year King Uzziah died ( Isaiah 6:1). It is estimated that it was written by Isaiah during two primary periods between 740 BC and 686 BC during his life and ministry.

You are not ready. Re-read your entry to find out why...

Comment it is a wake up call to all.

To each its own...i don't just get into church i get into God...cuz its not just a structure made of wood brick or stone. It's the heart of Jesus! Ministry is not just in the 4 walls of a church...cuz we the people are the church! So we must go out to the highways and hedges and compel men to come unto God. Cuz there are lots of people who are not even a church person but they still have a heart for people and they still love God.

Good question. Jesus wants us to be saved- that's why he died on the cross for everyone. But people first need to open their hearts and hear the truth to believe. Some don't want to and would prefer a lie. We see this today in our divided society with half of the people preferring lies over truth. Similar verses: 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12, Isaiah 6:9-10.

I see myself as Isaiah- someone recognizing the holiness of God and the weakness and sinfulness of self. I desire the cleansing and empowerment of God which I know he has bestowed upon me. I now volunteer to be used as an ambassador for the Kingdom.

Hi I'm almost like you, I thought it might be Moses, and Elijah

Hi Stanjett. I believe the 2 witnesses are Enoch and Elijah from the Old Testament since they are the only 2 people we have in God's Word who have never died yet. This is just my opinion and like yourself, I love studying the Word of God.

Here I am. Send me. As I see the last days approaching, I would not mind at all being one of the two witnesses in the last days. I would not mind at all in being killed because I know that I will be revived. But since I think they will be Jews I guess I can't. But, here I am Lord.

Isaiah’s Vision and Commission! Chapter 6:
In perhaps the most beautiful vision of his life, Isaiah saw God and experience His forgiving power. The prophet was cleansed and commissioned by God to declare to People Gods
Message: The fire(Vss. 6-7) was a symbol of the Cleansing. and lo, this has touched thy lips,
and thine iniquity is taken away: and thy sin purged: Lord do that to me!

Again; GOD is about to exercise HIS rights (during the day of Isaiah ) to will make the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, and the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. (during the day of 2018 - 20_ _ the book of Revelation tell the rest of the story. WOW! WOW! WOW!.

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. In vs5 Isaiah speaks in the fear of the Lord as he stands before the Holy altar of God the father in Heavan. realizing his own sinful heart and the hearts of the nation of Israel. He as well as they stand naked in their sin before God. God removes his sin and covers his transgressions. Isaiahs heart is transformed and he willingly volunteers

Verse 8~Isaiah didn't know the full scope of the assignment before he accepted it, but he eagerly volunteered and put full faith and trust in Jehovah God.

The throne is in each of us. Not until whatever I've crowned king DIES do I "see" the Lord on the throne... though, of course, I do not *perceive* from my place of uncleanness, as the Isaiah in each of us is sent to tell me.

Amen, God and Father of Jesus turned the show over to his Son Jesus in Hebrews 1:1-4. What Christians of the hour get bewitched and stumble at is verse 8. They do not read verse 9. Verse 8 is the fulfilling of Isaiah 6:9. "His name shall be called the mighty God" NOT "My name" NOT the Almighty God and Father the mighty God all power was passed from Father to Son. Pronouns =hishehim VS Imemy

Someone stated that my church was "a little over the top" because of our music / song worship service. It was not the typical laid back way. To all critics,

Verses 1

"Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant,
and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, and the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land." How many Scriptures do we need to convince us, that, "He that ENDURES TO THE END the same shall be saved!" There is a reason why God has us here.

"And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not..." Because they do not turn and repent at God's counsel, and will have none of His reproofs; the world walks on in gross darkness, and is appointed to punishment and wrath. "Blessed are Your Eyes, for they see! But to them IT IS NOT GIVEN!" the innermost workings of our thoughts matter!

Isaiah 6:8 "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said, here Am I, Send me! He said, Go and tell his people: Be even hearing, but never understanding be ever seeing, but never perceiving." MY MY MY!!! NOT MANY ARE WILLING TO GO FOR THE LORD, WHO CALLED US OUT OF DARKNESS TO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT CAUSE OF THE FEAR OF FAILURE AND PEOPLE! REMEMBER:

Morgan and Chris asked who said here I am send me. I believe that was Isaiah

Isaiah felt overwhelmed at the privilege of having this vision and he called to mind how unclean he was. The seraph reassured Isaiah in verse 7 that he could have a clean standing before God. We too can have a clean standing with God if we humbly admit our sins and strive to be clean in His eyes by following his instructions found in the Bible.

For me I viewed as a message to break the curse of denominational separation in the church if you are crying holy at your church and me at mine then it's about God free's us up to do kingdom work,it's evident that we are not doing it right,there comes the woe is me,but knowing God intimately will renew our preaching the gospel,he has a remnants of ministers that will preach his word till the end

Verse 3 and 4
These verses shows us the importance of worship and that worship gives us access to God's presence; and also opens doors of blessings for us.
