Isaiah 6:1

Isaiah 6:1 says, 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.  Isaiah said when Uzziah the king died, he saw the Lord high and lifted up with His train filling the temple.  No matter who is the ruler of a nation today, they will one day die, but we most always see God as the true Ruler of not only the world, but the universe.   We must lift our praises to Him as He sits on high. 

Verse two adds, Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.  Isaiah said he also saw above the throne the seraphim, who had six wings.  Two wings covered his face, two covered his feet, and two were used for flying.   Matthew Henry says this shows their great humility and reverence to God.  They weren’t there to be worshipped themselves, but they were there to protect the throne of God.  We as followers of Christ are to humbly serve Him for His honor and glory and not for our own, no matter how powerful the world may view us to be.  

Verse three adds, And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.  One of the seraphim was crying the praise of God to the other.  As the seraphim declared then, God is holy and the Lord of all and the earth itself testifies to His glory.  We may not see seraphim crying out to the glory of God, but we can see the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as an accomplished fact and put our faith in Him as our Savior and Lord.  This is all we need to see to understand the power and glory of God. 

Verse four concludes, And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.  Isaiah said that even the posts of the temple moved when the seraphim cried out and was filled with smoke.  Fire and smoke represented God to the people of Israel during their wilderness wandering, and they would also indicate the presence of God at this time.  We will never see God face-to-face in this lifetime, but the Holy Spirit comes to indwell us after we accept salvation through putting our faith in Jesus Christ, and He, the Holy Spirit, will always testify to the presence of God in our life.
