Isaiah 6:6

Verse 6

A live coal - The word of prophecy, which was put into the mouth of the prophet.

From off the altar - That is, from the altar of burnt-offerings, before the door of the temple, on which the fire that came down at first from heaven (Lev 9:24; 2Chr 7:1) was perpetually burning. It was never to be extinguished, Lev 6:12, Lev 6:13.
