INVESTIGATION: Isaiah

Isaiah: Seeing God, Speaking to the Age

START

Isaiah 6:1

"In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne high and lifted up and his train filled the temple."

Holiness in Turbulent Times

END

Isaiah 55:1

"Ho every one that thirsteth come ye to the waters and he that hath no money; come ye buy and eat; yea come buy wine and milk without money and without price."

Isaiah is the prophet of the high vision. His gap is speaking when no one wants to hear.

The setting

Temple calling: “Holy, holy, holy” (Isa 6).
Political storms: external threats and internal alliances.
Religious but sick: form without heart.

The investigation

Confrontation: sin exposed without makeup.
Comfort: restoration and hope promised.
Messiah: a suffering servant who saves.

Conclusion

Application: seeing God cures fear of people. Those who see high speak firmly.
