イザヤ書 6:8 JCB

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

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 6:1-8

Lessons of a Vision Isa 6:1-8 We have seen how wrathful Isaiah was with the oppressions and iniquities of his day. The death of Uzziah probably coincided with the year of jubilee, and therefore brought out more vividly than was otherwise possible the state under which the people groaned and mourned, a state which elicited the maledictions which we have already studied. The prophet's mind is still upon the year when King Uzziah died. A great gap was created in history. It was time that the... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 6:8

Here, if I mistake not, the subject takes a different turn. Isaiah in the former part, relates what he had seen and heard in a special relation to himself, and the Church, to whom he ministered: but here he relates what he was witness to, in relation to a higher mission than that of any among the sons of men. He begins it with an also, as if to disconnect what went before from what now follows: Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Let the Reader... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 6:1-8

1-8 In this figurative vision, the temple is thrown open to view, even to the most holy place. The prophet, standing outside the temple, sees the Divine Presence seated on the mercy-seat, raised over the ark of the covenant, between the cherubim and seraphim, and the Divine glory filled the whole temple. See God upon his throne. This vision is explained, John 12:41, that Isaiah now saw Christ's glory, and spake of Him, which is a full proof that our Saviour is God. In Christ Jesus, God is... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 6:8-13

The Mission of the Prophet v. 8. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, of the All-powerful, the great Ruler of the universe, saying, Whom shall I send? the call being for volunteers to proclaim the atonement set forth in the vision just vouchsafed the prophet. And who will go for Us? the persons of the Trinity here consulting together in this very important matter. Then said I, Here am I; send me. The prophet, in the spirit of voluntary service wrought by the Lord, a principal requisite for... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 6:1-13

C.—THE THIRD PORTALIsaiah 6:0.We have already shown above, in the general introduction to the threefold entrance, that Isaiah would not place this account of his call at the head because he felt the need of preparing his readers for it. At the same time he brings it about that this, not merely elevated, but holy, and even holiest of all dramas, is put in the place that becomes a holiest of all, that is to say, not without, but within; not in aditu, but in adyto. As in the temple, the court of... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 6:6-13

Isaiah VISION AND SERVICE Isa_6:1 - Isa_6:13 . WE may deal with this text as falling into three parts: the vision, its effect on the prophet, and his commission. I. The Vision. -’In the year that King Uzziah died’ is more than a date for chronological accuracy. It tells not only when, but why, the vision was given. The throne of David was empty. God never empties places in our homes and hearts, or in the nation or the Church, without being ready to fill them. He sometimes empties them that... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 6:1-13

a Call to Heroic Service Isaiah 6:1-13 Kings die; Jesus lives. See John 12:41 . We are here reminded of Acts 22:17-18 . How great the contrast between the worship of these seraphim in the Unseen-Holy and man’s perfunctory rites! Six wings -two for meditation, two for humility, and two for service. Service should take only a third of our energy. One cried unto another -one inspired spirit will awaken others. The threefold repetition of the word holy , implies the Trinity. If door-posts... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 6:1-13

We now begin the second part of the first circle of prophecy, which contains the prophecies during the reigns of Jotham and Ahaz. When Uzziah died, Isaiah was called to the exercise of a larger ministry, and was prepared for it by the special vision granted to him. This vision of the Lord was full of grace and of glory. The majesty of the Most High was manifest in the uplifted and occupied throne, in the solemn chanting of the seraphim, and by the earthquake which made the very foundations of... read more
