14 – The Throne Room of God

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple (ASV, 1901).

These passages in chapter six are officially the divine blessing of Isaiah's prophetic ministry. Uzziah also referred to as Azariah reigned from 791–740 B.C. Uzziah took the throne at the age of 16 and reigned for about 51 years.

During the year of Uzziah's death Isaiah was privileged to be spiritually lifted up to the Throne Room of God. Others who also had this privilege were Micaiah prophecy to Ahab (I Kings 22:19); Amos 9:1; Ezekiel 1 & 10); Daniel 7:13; John (Revelation 4–5). Isaiah saw God in the second person Jesus sitting on His Throne in the Heavenly Temple in the Holy of Holies. The Hebrew text refers to God in this verse as Adonai not Jehovah as is customary when speaking of God, The father. The apostle John quotes the words in this chapter, verse 10, as applicable to Jesus Christ, and then adds (John 12:41), 'these things said Esaias when he saw his glory, and spake of him.' Jesus Himself also referred to Himself as Adonai when He answered the Pharisees which the apostle Matthew recorded in his book at 22:44. Jesus was referencing Himself in quoting Psalm 110:1 which uses the term Adonai. Isaiah saw the Lord Jesus in His Temple, in His Heaven.

The glory of the Lord was raised above the Temple and He was perceived as sitting on His Throne with a majestic robe which filled His entire Temple.
