    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 4, 2024
     | 1,305 views

    Isaiah receives a vision of the LORD God Almighty in HIs glory and splendor. He recognizes himself for the sinner that he is, yet God commissions him to be His prophet. This is an encounter of reverence, fear, and service.

He was a king who walked in the ways of the LORD until he tried to offer incense in the Temple, ...read more
