    The timing of Isaish's vision is significant in itself and the vision gives three messages to people: to appreciate the majesty of God, to repent and get right with Him, and then go out and witness to His love, mercy and forgiveness.

    Isaiah 6: 1- 8: Four messages. (the timing, ‘Lo’, ‘Woe’, ‘Go’) Not one word in the Bible should be taken for granted, so let’s begin by looking at the words “In the year that King Uzziah died”, because these are significant We can read about ...read more
