A young prophet Isaiah, is writing JUSTIN, “It was in the year King Uzziah died that I SAW THE LORD. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple. Attending Him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. They were calling out to each other, “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies! The whole earth is filled with His glory!” Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke. Then I said, “IT’S ALL OVER! I AM DOOMED, for I am a sinful man. I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I HAVE SEEN THE KING, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.” Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. HE TOUCHED MY LIPS with it and said, “See, this coal has touched your lips. Now YOUR GUILT IS REMOVED, and YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN.” (Isa. 6:1-7)
Isaiah was a young man when he experienced this contact with the seraphim who spoke about his guilt being removed and his sins being forgiven. Then Isaiah heard, “…the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “HERE I AM. SEND ME.” (Isa. 6:8)
This is something we should consider saying to the Lord, because, the time is short, the Lord is coming soon. On May 14, 1948 Israel became a nation for the second time, this kind of thing has never happened in the history of the earth. “In that day the Lord will reach out His hand A SECOND TIME to bring back the remnant of His people…” (Isa. 11:11) “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “that it shall no more be said, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel FROM THE LAND OF THE NORTH…For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers.” (Jer. 16:14-15) From Jan 1989 to Dec 2002 1.1 MILLION JEWS came from Russia to live in Israel. During the time when it was very difficult to leave Russia. God is doing awesome things, He needs those who will GO FOR HIM!!!
