God’s Message To God’s People - Isaiah 6 Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Nov 8, 2012

When I look at the Biblical prophets, I think “Here I am, send somebody else,” because this is not a very pleasant job. Prophets are rejected throughout the Bible. Jesus also was rejected.

Isaiah 6 Vs. 1 & 2 - In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. Uzziah ...read more

God, Where Are You Taking Me?
