1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above Him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory.” 4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. 5 “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.” ~ Isaiah 6:1-7
Isaiah was 700 years before Jesus came on the scene; nevertheless, the LORD God made a way for an unclean man to enter into His presence. Why? Because the dwelling place of God is with mankind. We weren’t created to be separated from God. We were created to dwell with the LORD, and He is with us always. Isaiah found himself in the presence of the Almighty, and he was afraid he would die because he knew he wasn’t clean, yet God sent one of his Seraphim to stop worshipping and cleanse Isaiah so that Isaiah might remain in the LORD’s presence in all of His glory and wonder.
Today, we still enter the throne room of Almighty God, except when we do, we don’t have a need for Seraphim to cleanse our lips with a living coal; we have the perfect, redeeming, living blood of Jesus Christ covering us. We don’t have to fear entering the throne room of God Almighty and dwelling with Him because Jesus, God Himself, came to earth and redeemed us with something stronger than a coal. He redeemed us with His precious, perfect blood that speaks louder than even that of righteous Abel’s.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Confidently Enter The Throne Room.
