ceremony, religious icons, i.e., things seen with the eye, in order to worship our Father. He doesn’t like it, won’t tolerate it, and has continuously punished His people for these things down through the ages. Let nothing come between you and our Father, not ritual ceremony, icons, or even loved ones. When King David aspired to build a Temple unto The Lord, God mocked the idea and inferred that the Tabernacle tent was good enough for Him, as written in...

 

 2 Samuel 7: 2: Then the king said unto Nathan the prophet, “See now I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.”

 

Many even today fall into this idea of ‘doing for God’, what they think God will approve of in their limited mortal minds, instead of digging into His Word to find out what He wants us to do for Him. What about those Christians living in third world nations that are not allowed to build a Church building, are they still having Church, even without a tent? The Lord does not want us to worship Him in any other way than in spirit and in truth. The place this is done, is secondary to God. This idea also includes ritual practices that God does not teach us to observe, that are not given within His Word, but instead, are set up by traditions.

Isa 6:1   In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.

 King Uzziah died of leprosy as written in...

2 Chr 26:22-23: 22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.

23: So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, “he is a leper:” and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

 Isaiah is having a vision of God upon His Throne, in comparison with Uzziah, an earthly king. This is a message for us not to rely upon earthly kings, or leaders, but upon God instead. "Well how do we do that?," you might ask; by studying and doing His Word. The word ‘train’ in this verse is ‘shuwl’ in the Hebrew, meaning ‘a skirt, or hem of a garment’.

Isa 6:2   Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

     The seraphims are ‘burning’ or ‘shining ones’. These are creatures that surround God’s throne. They looked like man, thus made in the image or likeness of God. In this verse, they each had six wings. In Ezekiel 1, they had four wings. Thus, are these wings’ bird wings’ or something else?

Isa 6:3   And one cried unto another, and said, "Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory."

      We have three cries for emphasis of the solemnest of God’s Presence. What man deserves this reverence? No man.

Isa 6:4   And the posts of the door moved at the voice of Him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

      ‘The posts of the door’ means the base of the threshold. This is the threshold of the sanctuary. This ‘smoke’ represents His Holy Spirit.

Isa 6:5   Then said I, "Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a People of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."
