Isa 6:2-3 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : Isaiah saw the Lord sitting on a throne—this means God’s rule covers everything. The vision is really about Jesus, as explained later (John 12:41 ). God’s throne is above every other throne. He rules in glory, governs all things, and offers grace to his people. His throne is high and above all. Isaiah also noticed that God’s robe filled the temple, showing that God’s presence covers his church and the whole world (Psalm 29:10 ). Above the throne stood the seraphim, which are holy angels. “Seraphim” means “burning ones.” They are full of love for God and are ready to do his will. Each seraph had six wings: with two they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. Covering their faces and feet shows their respect and humility before God, even though they are perfect beings (Psalm 89:7 ). The wings for flying show they are always ready to obey God quickly (Daniel 9:21 ). This teaches us to worship God with both humility and eagerness to serve (Luke 20:36 ).

‏ Isaiah 6:2-3

v. 2: Isaiah saw the Lord sitting on a throne—this means God’s rule covers everything. The vision is really about Jesus, as explained later (John 12:41 ^a). God’s throne is above every other throne. He rules in glory, governs all things, and offers grace to his people. His throne is high and above all. Isaiah also noticed that God’s robe filled the temple, showing that God’s presence covers his church and the whole world (Psalm 29:10 ^b).

Above the throne stood the seraphim, which are holy angels. “Seraphim” means “burning ones.” They are full of love for God and are ready to do his will. Each seraph had six wings: with two they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. Covering their faces and feet shows their respect and humility before God, even though they are perfect beings (Psalm 89:7 ^c). The wings for flying show they are always ready to obey God quickly (Daniel 9:21 ^d). This teaches us to worship God with both humility and eagerness to serve (Luke 20:36 ^e).

v. 3: The seraphim called to one another, singing with great energy and in perfect harmony. They praised God, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.” . God’s holiness is his most celebrated attribute. The angels repeat “holy” three times to show how perfect and complete his holiness is. This also hints at the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God’s glory and holiness are not just for one nation, but fill the whole earth. Heaven is always filled with praise for God, and one day the whole world will see his glory (Revelation 4:8 ^f).
