To fully understand chap 6, we must go back to chap 5. Chap 5 let's us see the situation that Israel has willingly put themselves into. The gov. was corrupt, the people decided, if the gov can do things that do not honour God, who are we to do any different?. The first mention of Isaiah in the Bible is in chap 6 v1. Isaiah does what noone else has done in a while. He went to the Temple. He knows he can find God there. He is not disappointed, but he must face the fact that he is no better than anyone else. Hee needs the cleansing power of the burnt offering which is symbolic of the( BLOOD OF CHRIST). Being overwhelmed by his sinfulness, then his cleansing, he hears the Voice of God. Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?? Isaiah says, here am I send me. Then he asks, for how long? (Paraphrasing;)God tells him, for the rest of your life. As we submit ourselves to the call of God, we must rely on the Holy Spirit of God and the constant cleansing of the shed Blood of Christ to keep and direct us as we strive to do God's will.

Excellent comment. May the Holy Spirit continue his work in you, and in all of those who come to taste the goodness of the Lord.
