0:00:13.380 --> 0:00:17.110
<v Speaker 1>to the Chapter a Day Audio Bible. I'm John Stonge,

0:00:17.710 --> 0:00:21.970
<v Speaker 1>and today we're in Isaiah chapter 6, and we'll be

0:00:22.010 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>reading from the English Standard Version. In the year that

0:00:27.730 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne.

0:00:32.020 --> 0:00:35.220
<v Speaker 1>high and lifted up, and the train of his robe

0:00:35.340 --> 0:00:40.420
<v Speaker 1>filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim, each had

0:00:40.540 --> 0:00:44.989
<v Speaker 1>six wings. With two he covered his face, and with

0:00:45.090 --> 0:00:48.210
<v Speaker 1>two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

0:00:49.110 --> 0:00:54.030
<v Speaker 1>And one called to another and said, Holy, holy, holy

0:00:54.530 --> 0:00:58.660
<v Speaker 1>is the Lord of hosts. The whole earth is full

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:03.550
<v Speaker 1>of his glory. And the foundations of the thresholds shook

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>at the voice of him who called, and the house

0:01:06.380 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>was filled with smoke. And I said, Woe is me,

0:01:11.620 --> 0:01:14.420
<v Speaker 1>for I am lost, for I am a man of

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:21.470
<v Speaker 1>people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King,

0:01:21.870 --> 0:01:26.309
<v Speaker 1>the Lord of hosts. Then one of the seraphim flew

0:01:26.390 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to me, having in his hand a burning coal, that

0:01:30.060 --> 0:01:33.559
<v Speaker 1>he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he

0:01:33.620 --> 0:01:37.980
<v Speaker 1>touched my mouth and said, Behold, this has touched your lips.

0:01:38.620 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 1>Your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.300
<v Speaker 1>And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.340
<v Speaker 1>shall I send, and who will go for us? Then

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.740
<v Speaker 1>I said, Here I am, send me. And he said,

0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:00.370
<v Speaker 1>Go and say to this people, Keep on hearing, but

0:02:00.430 --> 0:02:04.890
<v Speaker 1>do not understand. Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.

0:02:05.750 --> 0:02:09.380
<v Speaker 1>Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy,

0:02:09.940 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and blind their eyes, lest they see with their eyes,

0:02:13.460 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts,

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>and turn and be healed. Then I said, How long,

0:02:22.740 --> 0:02:28.030
<v Speaker 1>O Lord? And he said, Until cities lie waste without inhabitants,

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and houses without people, and the land is a desolate waste.

0:02:34.190 --> 0:02:38.209
<v Speaker 1>And the Lord removes people far away, and the forsaken

0:02:38.310 --> 0:02:42.270
<v Speaker 1>places are many in the midst of the land. And

0:02:42.310 --> 0:02:45.970
<v Speaker 1>though a tenth remain in it, it will be burned again,

0:02:46.430 --> 0:02:50.230
<v Speaker 1>like a terebinth or an oak whose stump remains when

0:02:50.270 --> 0:03:00.410
<v Speaker 1>it is felled. The holy seed is its stump. Let's pray. Lord,

0:03:00.450 --> 0:03:03.570
<v Speaker 1>we thank you for your word, and we thank you

0:03:03.610 --> 0:03:05.450
<v Speaker 1>for the privilege of being able to look at this

0:03:05.830 --> 0:03:09.799
<v Speaker 1>portion of Scripture today that tells us more about your

0:03:09.900 --> 0:03:15.179
<v Speaker 1>holiness and the kind of reverence and respect that Isaiah

0:03:15.260 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>felt as you welcomed him into your presence. Lord, we

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:23.329
<v Speaker 1>thank you for the cleansing that you granted him, that

0:03:23.370 --> 0:03:26.609
<v Speaker 1>his guilt was taken away, that his sin was atoned for.

0:03:27.180 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>And Lord, we know that this is a foreshadowing of

0:03:29.740 --> 0:03:33.260
<v Speaker 1>what you have accomplished for us in your son, Jesus Christ,

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>who has taken our guilt away and placed it upon himself,

0:03:37.300 --> 0:03:40.790
<v Speaker 1>who has atoned for our sin. And now through faith

0:03:40.850 --> 0:03:44.230
<v Speaker 1>in your son, Jesus Christ, we are made clean. We

0:03:44.330 --> 0:03:47.770
<v Speaker 1>are cleansed of our unrighteousness and we have the privilege

0:03:47.810 --> 0:03:51.450
<v Speaker 1>to walk with you in holiness. Lord, we love you

0:03:51.570 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and we thank you for these realities and we thank

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>you for these reminders that we see from your word.

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>We commit this day to your care, and we pray

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.670
<v Speaker 1>this all in Jesus' name. Amen.
