I S A I A H. CHAP. VI. Hitherto, it should seem, Isaiah had prophesied as a candidate, having only a virtual and tacit commission; but here we have him (if I may so speak) solemnly ordained and set apart to the prophetic office by a more express or explicit commission, as his work grew more upon his hands: or perhaps, having seen little success of his ministry, he began to think of giving it up; and therefore God saw fit to renew his commission here in this chapter, in such a manner as might excite and encourage his zeal and industry in the execution of it, though he seemed to labour in vain. In this chapter we have, I. A very awful vision which Isaiah saw of the glory of God ( Isaiah 6:1-4 ), the terror it put him into ( Isaiah 6:5 ), and the relief given him against that terror by an assurance of the pardon of his sins, Isaiah 6:6 ; Isaiah 6:7 . II. A very awful commission which Isaiah received to go as a prophet, in God's name ( Isaiah 6:8 ), by his preaching to harden the impenitent in sin and ripen them for ruin ( Isaiah 6:9-12 ) yet with a reservation of mercy for a remnant, ( Isaiah 6:13 ). And it was as to an evangelical prophet that these things were shown him and said to him. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-4" class="com-number"
