The document describes a vision of the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah saw God on his throne surrounded by angels, demonstrating God's holiness and glory. When Isaiah saw God's holiness, he became aware of his own sinfulness. However, God purified Isaiah with burning coal to cleanse him of his sins. Isaiah then heard God calling for a messenger to reach the lost, and Isaiah volunteered to serve as God's messenger.
