ISAIAH CALLED TO BE
A PROPHET
• Isaiah Called to Be a Prophet
• 6 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the
Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up,
and the train of His robe filled the
temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one
had six wings: with two he covered his face,
with two he covered his feet, and with two he
flew. 3 And one cried to another and said:
• “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!”
• 4 And the posts of the door were shaken by
the voice of him who cried out, and the house
was filled with smoke.

8. ISAIAH 6:5
(NKJV)
• 5 So I said:
• “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 my eyes have seen the King,
The LORD of hosts.”

9. ISAIAH 6:6-7 (NKJV)
• 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to
me, having in his hand a live
coal which he had taken with the
tongs from the altar. 7 And he
touched my mouth with it, and
said:
• “Behold, this has touched your
lips; Your iniquity is taken away,
And your sin purged.”

10. ISAIAH 6:8 (NKJV)
• 8 Also I heard the voice of
the Lord, saying:
• “Whom shall I send,
And who will go for Us?”
• Then I said,
“Here am I!
Send me.”

11. ISAIAH 6:9-10
(NKJV)
• 9 And He said, “Go, and tell this
people: ‘Keep on hearing, but do not
understand; Keep on seeing, but do
not perceive.’
• 10 “Make the heart of this people
dull,
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
Lest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”

Christ returns to earth to redeem His faithful believers and send unbelievers to
eternal damnation.
