Isaiah 6

Isaiah 1:1
2 Kings 15
The Kings of Judah were a mixed lot, but the kings listed in Isaiah were faithful.
Isaiah 1:2, 3
The animals of Israel knew the Lord better than the Israelites.
2 Kings 21:1, 2

Isaiah 6
What is around the LORD magnifies His Glory. Isaiah saw the LORD and is confronted with the sinfulness of himself, and of Israel. This leads him to lamentation.
vs 8
Isaiah's response is in contrast to that of Moses.

Before this, Isaiah was redeemed by the Holy Spirit.
vs 9
Did Isaiah have to avoid telling them to repent? No. It was a reflection of Israel's history, where the people and the Kings who ruled them didn't learn from God.
2 Kings 21:7 - 11

Isaiah's warning - Judah will follow Israel into exile.
2 Kings 23
Although Josiah had turned to God, the people didn't, because he was following the Law, which could never bring salvation.

Numbers 13:27

vs 13
He would not leave His people deserted.

Look for how God is working in the desolated places. Look for Him there. Expect that you will have an Isaiah moment. Even when you have made a commitment to God, He will continue to deal with the sin in our lives.

Communion
