voice. See the Structure (p. 980). This is the voice from the Temple concerning the "scattering", corresponding with Isaiah 40:3 , Isaiah 40:6 , which is the voice from the wilderness concerning the "gathering". Whom shall I send? This was not Isaiah's original commission to prophesy, but his special commission for this great dispensational prophecy. Chs. 1-5 form a general introduction to the whole book (see p. 930). Us. Reference to Pentateuch (Genesis 1:26 ; Genesis 3:22 ; Genesis 11:7... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 6:1

This is one of the most famous chapters in the whole prophecy, but there is this mystery about it, namely, that nobody knows for sure just where it belongs chronologically. Practically all of the liberal and radically critical writers make it the beginning of all of Isaiah's prophetic writings, identifying it with his original call to the prophetic office. More conservative scholars find many objections to that understanding of it. If it was Isaiah's call to the prophetic office, why should it... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 6:6

"Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: and he touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this has touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away and thy sin forgiven. And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me."The forgiveness of Isaiah's sin here was not final and absolute, because the ultimate price of all human redemption from sin... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 6:1

Isaiah 6:1. In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw, &c.— We have in this chapter the fourth sermon, containing an account of a wonderful and august vision wherewith the prophet was favoured by the Lord: The design of which is two-fold; to exhibit a figure of the kingdom of the Son of God, hereafter to be manifested in the world, and to foretel the future blindness and hardness of heart of the greatest part of the Jewish nation. There are three parts of this discourse. The first contains a... read more

Isaiah 6:2. Above it stood— The state, figure, and actions of the Seraphim are here described: The word שׂופים seraphim, says Vitringa, signifies fiery and shining bodies, from ףּשׂר seraph, to burn; (see Numbers 21:6.) and is in this place to be understood of persons of a bright and splendid appearance, covered with wings, and in a human form. This part of the vision seems manifestly to be taken from the representation of the Divine Glory, as it was exhibited in the Holy of Holies; where was... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 6:5-7

Isaiah 6:5-7. Then said I, &c.— The second part of this vision contains the sanctification of the prophet for the undertaking of a great prophetical office, and consists of two parts: the first describes the prophet's state of mind upon the sight of the preceding illustrious vision: His consternation upon the sense of his great unworthiness. He expresses his fear of perishing, (I am undone,) because, being a man of unclean lips, and dwelling amongst an unclean people, he was therefore unfit... read more

Isaiah 6:8. Also I heard the voice of the Lord— We have here the third part of this vision, comprehending, first, a trial of the disposition of the prophet, now sanctified, with his reply to the Lord, in the present verse; secondly, the command delivered to him concerning the execution of the divine judgment upon the Jews, of blindness and hardness of heart, Isa 6:9-10 thirdly, a more full and explicit declaration of a most grievous temporal judgment, which should be joined with this spiritual... read more

This is not the first beginning of Isaiah's prophecies, but his inauguration to a higher degree of the prophetic office: Isaiah 6:9, c., implies the tone of one who had already experience of the people's obstinacy.
