Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 6:9-13

B. The prophet’s commission 6:9-13The Lord proceeded to give Isaiah specific instructions about what He wanted him to do and what the prophet could expect regarding his ministry (Isaiah 6:9-10), his historic-political situation (Isaiah 6:11-12), and his nation’s survival (Isaiah 6:13). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 6:11-12

The news that the Israelites would harden their hearts against Isaiah’s message undoubtedly disappointed the prophet. So he asked the Lord how long he should continue to preach (cf. Isaiah 6:9) and how long the Israelites would be unresponsive (cf. Isaiah 6:10). [Note: Delitzsch, 1:201; Motyer, p. 79; Grogan, p. 58.] The Lord did not give him a certain number of years but implied that he should continue preaching until the full extent of God’s judgment on the people because of their prolonged... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 6:1-13

The Prophet’s CallThis c., which recounts the prophet’s call and commission, would stand first in a chronological arrangement of the book. The opening words remind us of the vision of Micaiah (1 Kings 22:19), and we should compare the visions of Jeremiah and Ezekiel which inaugurated their prophetic activity. In St. John’s vision (Revelation 4) the same anthem, ’Holy, holy, holy,’ is sung by the six-winged living creatures round about the throne. Isaiah’s vision foreshadows such leading... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 6:12

(12) And the Lord have removed men far away.—The words point to the policy of deportation adopted by the Assyrian kings. From the first hour of Isaiah’s call the thought of an exile and a return from exile was the key-note of his teaching, and of that thought thus given in germ, his whole after-work was but a development, the horizon of his vision expanding and taking in the form of another empire than the Assyrian as the instrument of punishment.And there be a great forsaking.—Better, great... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 6:1-13

Redeeming Vision Isaiah 6:1 In all life's necessary contact and inevitable contest with reality, nothing is more needed than the uplifted eye with its power of vision, which is the power of purity. To see 'also the Lord' is alike the secret of steadfastness and the guarantee of that knowledge in the midst of perplexity, which alone liberates from fretful anxiety and unbelief, and leads to right choice and wise action. I. In connexion with duty, how indispensable is the sight of the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 6:1-13

CHAPTER IVISAIAH’S CALL AND CONSECRATION740 B.C.written 735? or 727?Isaiah 6:1-13IT has been already remarked that in chapter 6 we should find no other truths than those which have been unfolded in chapters 2-5: the Lord exalted in righteousness, the coming of a terrible judgment from Him upon Judah and the survival of a bare remnant of the people. But chapter 6 treats the same subjects with a difference. In chapters 2-4 they gradually appear and grow to clearness in connection with the... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 6:1-13

PROPHET ’S CALL This makes a short lesson but a distinctive one. The prophet is giving an account of himself, relating the circumstances under which he entered the prophetic office, and the authority by which he speaks. The story divides itself thus: the vision (Isaiah 6:1-4 ); the effect of the vision in producing conviction and confession of sin (Isaiah 6:5 ); his cleansing from sin (Isaiah 6:6-7 ); his call to service (Isaiah 6:8 ); the dedication of himself to that service (Isaiah 6:8 );... read more
