THE EARTH IS FULL OF GLORY

IN THE YEAR OF king Uzziah's death, I saw  the Lord sitting in a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he coveted his feet, and with two he flew. And one called out to another and said, Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of Hosts, "The whole earth is full of His Glory..
Isaiah 6:1-3

It's TIME TO DIG DEEPER into the mysterious will of God. In doing so, we must come to terms with our age-old, inescapable battle with sin Can God's will result in our being holy? Isaiah sees and records something that appears nowhere else in the bible the seraphim, a body of Worshiping angelic creatures, surrounding the Lord. Seraphs, mentioned only here in Isaiah 6:2 and 6:6 are heavenly beings that resemble flaming fire in their person. I say that because the Hebrew word sarap mean " to burn." It's the same word that is used to describe the fiery serpents that bit the children of Israel in the days of Moses (see Number 21:4-9). So these are hovering angels, perhaps blazing like fire, or so full of zeal they become fire like in their worship. They surround the throne of God, ministering to Him in continual praise.
  Isaiah does not tell us how many there were. Maybe there were hundreds, maybe dozens, maybe only few, but "each had six wings" and stood above the Lord, swarming about His throne with their zealous and dramatic expression of praise. In this amazing scene, Isaiah is allowed to draw back the curtain of heaven and catch just a glimpse of angelic creation and their activities. There are activities that go on incessantly in the highest heaven, which we never see their adoration and praise of a holy God. Not only could Isaiah see all this, he could hear the antiphonal voices in which they were worshiping, one calling to another, back and forth: "Holy, Holy, Holy," Some have interpreted this to mean the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit. I think rather, it is a reference to the Lord's infinite holiness. When words are repeated in the Hebrew text it is for emphasis, and rarely are words repeated three times. Here, this repetition conveys infinite exaltation. "Incredible holiness is due Your Name, O Lord God of Hosts. The Earth is full of Your glory." Again and again, these mysterious seraphim called our such praises to one another.
   In earthly terms, with the Israelites burning incense on the high place, worshiping like their pagan  neighbors, the earth was not marked by evident glory. But from the Seraphim's viewpoint in the throne rooms of God, the earth is full of God's glory. Don't forget that. Our newspapers will never report angelic praise. They tell nothing of the glory of God. They only tell what is occurring on the horizontal plane, and as you knows, they focus mainly on the bad news. But the the earth will one day be full of God's glory. Don't doubts it, our current surroundings will ultimately be removed, and they will be replaced by that which evidences the glory of God. But for a moment, Isaiah was caught up in a scene that other people couldn't see:
