Isaiah 6:8 - Exposition

Whom shall I send? . Such questions enable those who wait in the courts of heaven to show their zeal and readiness. Who will go for us? Some explain the plural pronoun as used of the Almighty and those with whom he is consulting. But he does not really "consult" his creatures ( infra , Isaiah 40:14 ; Revelation 11:1-19 :34), nor do his messengers do his errands for them . The plural form is best explained by the light which Isaiah 6:3 throws on it, as indicative of the doctrine of the Trinity (comp. Genesis 1:26 ).
