Isaiah's Vision and Call in the Temple

Overview & Insights
"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory." (Isaiah 6:3)
In a temple vision Isaiah sees the Lord enthroned high and lifted up while seraphim call out "Holy, holy, holy." Overcome by his own uncleanness, he is purified by a burning coal and then answers God's call with "Here am I; send me."
