• 0:11
  Hello friends, it is Sean. Here it is Tuesday, it is the
• 0:17
  18th of July. I hope you're going well,
• 0:20
  because you and I are about to hear a momentous, A brief but
• 0:26
  momentous chapter as God calls and cleanses this prophet to
• 0:32
  come and prophesy on his behalf. And he does some epic
• 0:37
  prophesying and really, really informs so much of what Jesus
• 0:42
  speaks about and what the New Testament authors write about.
• 0:47
  As they go about explaining God's plan all along, so let's
• 0:52
  hear how God calls him out and gets him started in his life of
• 0:56
  prophecy as we read together Isaiah chapter 6.
• 1:11
  It was in the year King Uziya died that I saw the Lord.
• 1:16
  He was sitting on a lofty throne and the train of his robe filled
• 1:21
  the temple. Attending him were mighty
• 1:24
  seraphim. Each having six wings.
• 1:27
  With two they covered their faces, With two they covered
• 1:31
  their feet, and with two they flew.
• 1:34
  They were calling out to each other.
• 1:36
  Holy, holy, Holy is the Lord of Heaven's armies.
• 1:41
  The whole earth is filled with his glory.
• 1:45
  Their voices shook the temple to its foundations, and the entire
• 1:49
  building was filled with smoke. Then I said, it's all over.
• 1:55
  I'm doomed, for I'm a sinful man.
• 1:57
  I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips.
• 2:01
  You know, I've seen the King, the Lord of Heaven's armies.
• 2:06
  Then one of the Seraphim flew to me with a burning coal he had
• 2:10
  taken from the altar with a pair of tongs.
• 2:13
  He touched my lips with it and said, see this coal has touched
• 2:18
  your lips. Now your guilt is removed and
• 2:21
  your sins are forgiven. Then I heard the Lord asking,
• 2:26
  Whom should I send as a messenger to this people who
• 2:29
  will go for us? I said, here I am, send me.
• 2:35
  And he said, yes, go and say to this people, listen carefully,
• 2:42
  but do not understand. Watch closely, but learn
• 2:45
  nothing. Harden the hearts of these
• 2:48
  people, plug their ears and shut their eyes that way.
• 2:53
  They will not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears,
• 2:57
  nor understand with their hearts, and turn to me for
• 3:00
  healing. Then I said, Lord, how long will
• 3:05
  this go on? And he replied, until their
• 3:08
  towns are empty, their houses are deserted, and the whole
• 3:12
  country is a wasteland, until the Lord has sent everyone away
• 3:18
  and the entire land of Israel lies deserted.
• 3:23
  If even a 10th, a remnant survive, it will be invaded
• 3:26
  again and burned. But as a terabinth or oak tree
• 3:31
  leaves a stump when it is cut down, so Israel's stump will be
• 3:36
  a holy seed. Oh Lord, I'm sorry our hearts
• 3:50
  are so hard. I'm sorry that we find it so
• 3:55
  hard to turn from. The direction that we're going
• 3:58
  on, even if it's the wrong direction, and thank you that
• 4:03
  even when we take ourselves so far down the wrong Rd. that all
• 4:07
  seems lost. There.
• 4:10
  You plant a seed there, you make sure that there is something
• 4:15
  that can draw us back and begin a new growth and a new start.
• 4:22
  Thank you. That you are a God of new
• 4:23
  starts. Thank you that you are a God who
• 4:26
  forgives and it includes us in your mission.
• 4:30
  What an amazing privilege. We are so grateful for you.
• 4:34
  We love you, we adore you, and we worship Your Holiness just as
• 4:41
  those Seraphim did with all their wings.
• 4:44
  We worship you. And it's in Jesus name that we
• 4:46
  pray. Amen.
