"I SAW THE LORD, HIGH AND LIFTED UP" ISAIAH 6

"In the year  that King Uzziah died I saw also the Lord
sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and  his train
filled the temple. 
 Above it stood the Seraphim: each one had six wings.
With twain he covered his face, and  with twain he co-
vered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is  full of his glory.
  And  the posts of the door moved at the voice of him
that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

 Then said I, 'woe is me! for I am a man of unclean lips 
and I  dwell in  the midsts  of  a people of  unclean lips;
for  mine  eyes have seen the  King, the Lord of Hosts.' 
 Then flew one of  the seraphim unto me, having a live
coal in his hand, which he had taken from off  the altar; 
  And he laid it upon my mouth, and said,'Lo, this hath
touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken  away, and
thy sin is purged.'

    Also I  heard  the  voice of  the Lord,  saying, 'Whom
shall I send and who will go for us?'  Then said I, 'Here
as I; send me.'   This passage gives  important  insight
into  the person of  Jehovah,  the Lord God.  We know 
from other  Scripture He is, in all respects without peer. 
His power,  his wisdom  and knowledge  are  unlimited.
He is  omnipresent, observing  all events  as they hap-
pen, and  because of unlimited abilities,  He is  able to
process all knowledge with perfect objectivity.  No one
can make accusation that will stand against him and if
it were possible,  to whom would the charge be made? 
Having  established  the fact of  these attributes, there
remains his innate  purity, fairness and  righteousness.
Our  Lord's heart is for His creation, or people and  He
does nothing  without the best for  his creation in mind.
 He  refers  to himself  as "jealous."   He is  jealous  of
the best  for  his people  and will  not share  worship or
praise with another.  He knows it is best for his people;
an element of his  jealousy, seldom  mentioned.
By coming to live as one of us, showing us his care of
us by  dying on a cruel cross at  the hands of the very 
souls for which he came to die. When we to get a true 
vision of  the Lord, "High and Lifted Up,"  our lives will
be  eternally changed.  We will reflect his love and his
care for  those with whom we come into contact every 
day. The terms Man or Mankind  sometimes may refer 
to either gender.
