Isaiah, Prophet of Holiness

Introduction: Isaiah 6:1-13. In this passage we see the prophet in the temple. He has a vision of the Lord, and is deeply moved. A conviction of his own uncleanness and the defilement of his people comes to him. In agony because of this revelation of evil he cries out in agony, and is visited by a heavenly creature who relieves him of his misery by the grace of God He is then ready to hear God's call to preach to the nation, although that call is to bring increasing hardness of heart and rejection of his evangel Even so, the new, holy remnant will result, and God's salvation history will proceed in pioneer.
