Hidden Treasure

Isaiah's account of the Heavens in Isaiah 6:1-7

In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; the train of His robe filled the temple.  Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.  And one called to another and said:

"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!"

And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.  And I said:

"Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!"

Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.  And he touched my mouth and said:

"Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for."

Today in church, we sang Revelation Song.  What a beautiful image to imagine the moment when I get to sing alongside the Heavenly hosts!  

Praise the Lord for giving me the opportunity to worship Him here on earth and get a small taste of what His presence feels like.

If you have time today, pick up your bible and read Revelation 4 to see John's account of the Heavens and compare it to Isaiah 6.  I promise it will take your breath away- especially when you take in to account that they were recorded over 800 years apart. 

The Bible is so full of hidden treasures like this.
