Do you know that the angels give
him not rest day and night, right now, singing that? Right now.
Revelation 4 says they rest not day and night singing that. Right
now. Over and over and over again.
Holy, holy, holy. Isaiah 6, now this book, the
book of Isaiah, and chapter 6, begins with the vision, the vision. Look at chapter 1, look at chapter
1 of Isaiah. It begins this way, the vision
of Isaiah that she saw. And verse 2, he said, Hear, O
heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord has spoken. The Lord has spoken. Now, a vision,
the word vision means something you see, or how you see. It means your eyesight. How's
your vision? How is your vision? My vision. It's not too good. I'm nearsighted. I need these to see afar off. Or maybe you're farsighted and
you need something to see up close. I need both. Vision. Vision is how you see
things or what you see. You know that most animals on
this earth are nearsighted. Animals are nearsighted. They
see only what's up close. Food and so forth. They can't
really see afar off. So is the natural man. He's like
an animal. He just sees what's in front
of him. Food. And that's what he goes after. And he can't see afar off. The
eagle. The eagle now can't see afar
off. God's people mount up on wings
of an eagle. Christ is that eagle. And it
says, they see afar off. This vision that Isaiah saw was
not really, I don't believe it was an actual vision or apparition, but it's the eye
of faith because I've seen this vision. And it's not a new vision. Any man says that he's seen a
new vision or has a new vision is a false prophet. Any so-called
church that names itself a new vision is a false church. There's
only one vision. The vision of all, he said in
Isaiah 29. That is all the Word. It's one
vision. Are you with me? One vision. And what he saw was
the Word of God. Did you see that in chapter 1?
The Lord hath spoken. He saw things by the Word. You know, the Word enters your
ears and goes into your heart. It will open your eyes. Are you
with me? Don't. Don't be dull. David said, the entrance of thy
Word giveth light. You know how you have vision?
You know how you see things? Light. If there's no light, you're
in darkness. The Word gives light, gives understanding. If you have no light from His
Word, there's no understanding. What did He say? What did Isaiah
say in chapter 8? To the law and to the testimony.
To the law, to the testimony. If they speak not according to
this Word, Light in them. They don't see. They don't see. Can't see the vision. The entrance of God's Word. Look
at verse 10 of chapter 1. Hear the word of the Lord, ye
rulers of Sodom. Who's he talking to? Israel. Israel? Sodom? Professing religionists. That's who this is to. Hear the Word. The Lord has spoken. He called him, in verse 2, rebels.
See this? I'm hoping you know, you see
what Isaiah saw, this vision all around us. Your eyes have
been opened. You see what the Lord says in His Word that clearly
describes this day that we live in. This hasn't changed. It hasn't
changed. This is the vision, okay? This
is what I see. What I see is a world full of
rebels. What I see in verse 5 is the whole head is sick and the
heart is faint. This is a sick society we live
in. The head is sick and no understanding, none whatsoever. A reprobate
society. No heart is faint. No hearts. They live like animals. No hearts. Verse 3 says they don't consider.
He feeds them and clothes them, but they don't consider. Who
does it? Don't give them a thought. God's not in their thoughts.
Is that what you see? Verse 4, a people laden with
iniquity, seed of evildoer. Didn't the Lord say in Genesis
before He destroyed the world with a flood, didn't He say that
He looked down and the whole earth had corrupted His way?
What's His way? Not Him. It's full of violence. Is that
what you see? Don't you see that clearly? See
it clearly. How did you see it? He didn't
see it until he showed it to him. Is this not today? Is it
not? Don't you see clearly? Most people
can't see. This opens the eye. The law and
the testimony. The country is desolate, verse
7. Desolate means Ichabod is over the door. A glorious departure. And verse 9, unless the Lord
had left us a very small remnant, a remnant according to the election
of grace, we should have been a son of Adam and Gomorrah a
long time ago. So hear the Word. Give ear,
He said, you people. Oh, my. Look at verse 4 again. It says they're backward. The
last line says they're backward. It's all backward. Isaiah 59,
I believe it is, says judgments turn backward. Equity can't enter. They won't let it. They don't
want to hear the truth. It's backward. They're calling good
evil now, and evil good. Don't you see that? Did you see
that clearly? Folks, God doesn't love this
world like men say that. This is the vision. And I see
it clearly, don't you? Romans 1 and Isaiah 1 are the
same. Men haven't changed. Did you
ever think, you know, people over 50 maybe, or maybe 60, if
you had to maybe have lived in the 50s to see a time where things
were still somewhat Decent. Did you ever think you'd see
what you're seeing today? Did you ever think you would
hear without shame? Think God's pleased? No, God is holy. Holy. Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Holy. And look at chapter 2, verse
10. He says, enter into the rock. John has started to turn and
look at you. There you are. Enter into the rock. I think I have, John. Don't you?
Why, John? He put me in the rock like Moses,
didn't he? He said, there's a place by me,
Moses. I'm going to put you in it. I'm
going to put you in it. Enter into the rock and hide
thee, O my Savior, hide me in the rock of ages, for fear of
the Lord." Well, preacher, I thought God loved everybody and had a
wonderful plan for their life. That's what men thought. But
that's just not so. That's not the Lord of Scripture. That's not the God of the battle.
Is it? No, it's not. This is life eternal,
to know the only true God. And Jesus Christ whom He sent,
what did He send Him for? To do a work. And He did it. And He did it for particular
people. And it behooves us to find out if He did it for us.
Our life depends on it. Look at verse 11 of chapter 2.
The lofty looks of man shall be humbled. The haughtiness of
men shall be bowed down. The Lord alone shall be exalted
in that day. The day of the Lord of hosts
is upon everyone that's proud. 2 Timothy 3, read it for yourself.
He says, in the last days, perilous times. And he doesn't mention
one thing about wars and this and that and the other. He says
they're perilous times because men are so proud. Haughty, high-minded, boasters
that talk so much when God is in the heavens and we're on the
earth. And He says, let your words be few. I'm listening to
you. And look at chapter 3, verse 9, the show of their countenances,
their faces. Their face witnesses against
them. They declare their sin as Sodom. They're not hiding
it. They're coming out. How? Why? Why? Why did all this happen? False religion. False religion. Men quit standing up and telling
them who God really was. Holy, holy, holy. There's only
a few. Elijah was one man against 450
prophets. You think change will change? It's about one to every 450,000
now. Our Lord said that in the last days. Many prophets have
gone. False prophets. And God's men
are saying the same thing. Their vision, their eyesight
is clear from this Word. Things have changed. Our Lord
said, as in the days of Noah, as in the days of Lot. I'm through. Blessed are your ears that they're
hearing this this morning. The lofty looks of man will be
brought down. Look at verse 17, he says it
again. The loftiness of man shall be bowed down. The haughtiness
of men shall be made low. The Lord alone will be exalted
in that day. The Lord alone will be exalted
in that day. Chapter 3, it said, "...to show
of their countenances like Sodom," verse 9, "...but say to the righteous,"
verse 10, "...beware with him." The righteous? You know, there's
none righteous. No, not one. Not by nature. But it's well with the righteous,
but there's none righteous. Preacher, I'm confused. I'm not.
Are you? Are you confused? Who's righteous? In Christ. He's made unto us. Here we go again. Wisdom. He's the Word. Entrance of His
wisdom. Righteousness. He said, Lord,
I righteous. We're in Him. We're covered in
Him. We're made righteous. We're holy in Him. Sanctification. Set apart from this evil world.
And redemption. He's bought us. We belong to
Him. He's going to have us. He's coming back to get us. Say to the righteous, it's well
with them, they'll eat the fruit of their doings." What's that?
What do we do that work the works of God? Believe. Verse 11, to woe unto the wicked.
No matter what. It's going to be ill. Well, I've got so much more to
show you leading up to here, but we have one more thing. Verse
16, the Lord said, the daughters of Zion are haughty. They're
walking with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes. I can
hear them mincing as they go, tinkling with all their jewels
and so forth, prancing along, strutting along, acting like
they're somebody. The Lord says, I'm going to strip
them naked. Is this now or what? Chapter 6. In chapter 6 now,
it begins this way, and so much leads up to it. Isaiah said,
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord. Now what Lord is he speaking
of? No man hath seen God at any time. No man can. God's Spirit. Right? What Lord
is he talking about? He's talking about the Lord Jesus
Christ. This is quoted in John 12, verse
41. These things spoke Isaiah when
he saw Christ's glory. He saw the Lord Jesus Christ. Now listen to it. This is the Lord Jesus Christ
He sees here. This is the vision of the Lord
Jesus Christ that He sees here. Christ, the true Christ. This is life eternal that you
might see, that everyone that seeeth the Son. Are you with
me? Everyone that seeeth the Son
says, I'm going to raise Him up. Everyone seeeth the Son as He is. This
is life eternal. They might know the only true
God and the true Son, the true Son of God, as He is. There's
another Jesus being preached. And He's the opposite of what
we're going to look at right now. He's the opposite. That's
how you know. Uzziah, who's this man Uzziah
that died? He's a king. He's the first king
mentioned by Isaiah. In Isaiah, the vision he saw
in the days of Uzziah and Jotham, Ahaz, Ezekiah, and kings of Judah.
This Uzziah was a great... Listen to this. If this isn't
ironic, profoundly ironic, this man Uzziah became a powerful
man. The Lord raised him up in power. He had great riches and great
power. And he began to be full of pride. And he was the ruler of the nation.
Rich and loud and proud. And it says, his heart was lifted
up against the Lord. You know, anybody that's proud,
that is against the Lord. A little pride is against the
Lord. Because what do we have? that
we have not received. And if we received it, why would
we glory? You know, six things the Lord
hates? The first thing is a proud look. This man was lifted up with pride,
didn't he? Isaiah said, the loftiness, the
lofty looks of man are going to be brought down. Isn't that
what characterizes our day more than anything else? And the lofty looks, and he said,
the Lord slew this man. This man went into the temple,
and that's another story. He actually represents Satan,
Uzziah. He went into the temple to offer
a sacrifice, and the Lord slew that. He represents that man
of sin who's in the temple acting like he's God, but he's not. And God's going to slay him with
the word of His mouth. He represents religion, false
religion. He represents many things. You see, there's one
person that was to go in and offer that sacrifice with. One
person, that's the half priest. And this man made a mockery of
it. And the Lord killed him. Well, Isaiah said, Lord give
us ears here. Give us eyes. See this vision. Isaiah said, when that happened,
when he slew this great man, this loud man, this proud man,
I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up. I saw the Lord. I saw the Lord
Jesus Christ. That's who he's speaking of.
How did he see Him? What's the first thing he said
of Him? He said, I saw Him sitting upon a throne. David one time said, Psalm 36,
the transgression of the wicked saith within my eyes there is
no fear of God before their eyes. Why David? Because they talk
about making him Lord. They talk about letting him be
Lord. That he wants to be your Lord.
Isaiah said, I saw the Lord. And He wasn't a baby in a manger. Will you listen to me? He was
not hanging on a cross helpless. He was not over a rock praying. He was not in Mary's arms, His
lifeless body. He was sitting on a throne. Sitting on a throne. You know, there were no seats
in the Old Testament tabernacle or temple. There were no seats.
Why? Those high priests never finished their work. They did
all that they could do. And now it's up to God. But not this man. Scripture says
in Hebrews 1 of the Lord Jesus Christ, it says, He who is a
Creator, Thought it not robbery to be equal with God, to express
the image of God, the Creator of all things? God has spoken
in these last days concerning His Son, He that made all things. He said, when He had by Himself
purged our sins, what? Sat down on the right hand of
the Majesty on high. David said in Psalm 110, and
our Lord Jesus Christ quoted it to those Pharisees, The Lord
said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine
enemies thy footstool. Psalm 42 said, He that sitteth
in the heavens shall laugh. He's seated. Sovereign, reigning,
ruling, directing all things, seated, giving directions. Even
the King's heart is in the hands of this Lord. Like the rivers
of water do whatsoever He will. Are you worried about tomorrow?
Not at all. Well, I shouldn't be. Why? Because thy God reigneth. He's the Lord. Now, if He's this
fellow outside your hearts, no, He's not. Christ is not. But
if He is, leave the door shut. Don't let him in. But pray to the Lord on the throne
that He'll let you in. Pray to Him who is the door.
Open now, my understanding, that I might know Thee. He's seated
on a throne, reigning and ruling. Anyone that says he's outside
your heart's door is a false prophet. Anyone that believes
that that's what he's doing and that's what they did, they let
him in, let him be Lord, is lost. It's lost. Isaiah said, I saw
the Lord. And brethren, I have too. The
vision of the book is closed to most people. But bless God,
He's opened my understanding. The blind receive their sight
and they see. What do they see? The Lord. High
and lifted up. High and lifted up. Catholicism
says he's General Jesus, meek and mild. He was. He's not now. He's high and lifted up. He said, when you see the Son
of Man lifted up, you'll know I am. John 8. He said, when you see the Son
of Man lifted up. Now the first thing we see Him
is lifted up on the cross. We know why He was lifted up.
Because God is holy. We know why He came. Because
God is holy. We know why He died. God is holy,
holy, holy. God is just. He will by no means
clear the guilty. God will punish sin. So God made
him to be sinned. For who? Not everybody. For some
people. He who knew no sin. He made him
to be sinned for them, that they might be made the righteousness
of God. Where? In Him. You understand that, don't you?
You see that He is the Lord your righteousness. Do you see why
He came? Do you see why Christ died? Most people don't have
a clue. You say, God loves you and Jesus died for you. Why?
Because He loves you. Why did Jesus have to die? Put
away your sins. Well, did He? Not really. You
have to make it. I don't understand. They don't
either. I do. Don't you? Buddy, if Christ died
for my sins, they're gone. If I see Christ high and lifted
up, why He came and why He hung on that cross, why Christ died
with my understanding and believe on Him and bow at the foot of
His cross and lay hold of the sacrifice, my sins are gone. But if some fellow has done all
he can do and it's up to you, then you're a goner. If anything
is up to you, you're a goner. If God wants to and can't, Brethren,
nowhere in this book is the word want behind God's name. Nowhere
do we find it said God wants anything. I'll tell you what
it does say. God says, I will work, and who
will live? Here's what it says. The Lord
says, I will, and you shall. I will. He worketh all things
unto the counsel of not his want to, his will, his purpose, ordered
in all things, and sure. He said, I've spoken it, not
I want to do it, I will do it. This is the Lord. That's another Jesus. He can't
save a flea. There's a God who cannot save.
Men are praying to Him. Might as well pray to a statue. We see Christ lifted up, don't
we? High and lifted up. We saw God lift Him up from the
grave. You know why He arose? Because
it's not possible that He should be holding of death. Because
Scripture says so, that He'd come out of that grave. But what
else? This is the key. This is the
key of the Gospel. Do you understand why Christ
had to come out of that? If He didn't come out of that
grave that we've still got sin on us, that we're going to hell?
Do you understand why? Because he came out, God accepted
the sacrifice. You understand that, don't you?
Don't you? You understand that? He accepted
the sacrifice. People of old would listen to
that high priest go in the temple and offer up lamb's blood. He
had these bells on his garment. That's what I'm trying to do
this morning. Ring the bell. Trying to ring the bell and fruit
showing. Whose fruit? Not mine. Christ's fruit. How
did that woman that went to grab hold of a hem of a garment, which
garment did she lay a hold of? How did she know whose garment
it was? All those hems. There were bells ringing. Nobody
else heard it. She did. Look, there it is. And she lay a hold of the hem
of the high priest. His righteousness, His fruit. Well, sounding like Donnie, don't
it? We've seen the same vision. I'm that woman with the issue. I've crawled by His grace and
laid hold of His hand. What happened? I'm whole. I'm
holy. Why? Well, a preacher, you don't
look holy, you look like a sinner. Christ said to me, and that woman
caught in adultery, I'm not condemned. Not condemned. No accusers. Who shall lay anything in the
charge of God's delight? It is God that justifies it.
Who is he that condemneth? Come on, say it. Christ died. The great high priest. When he
went into there, even that man who went in to offer those lambs
and those bullets, the people were listening. Is the bells
on his garment ringing? Are the bells on his garment?
Is the bell? Don Bell rings it, doesn't he? Is it ringing? Is the Lord pleased
with his fruit? How do you know? When that fellow
came walking out. out of the veil, coming from
the Holy of Holies, where He poured the blood on the mercy
seat. And He walked through that eastern gate where the light
shone through, where the Son of Righteousness arose. You know
what He said, Deborah? Accepted! Accepted in the Lamb! God's not angry. He should be,
but He's not. We're reconciled. Isn't that
wonderful? Lifted up. He came out of that
grave. We see Him lifted up. You know,
He went higher than that. We see Jesus made a little lower
than the angels for the suffering of death. We know why He came,
why He was a man. He had to die. This is the Lamb.
He had to die as a man. God can't die. Man must. Man can't satisfy God's justice. God can. The man came. He died. Satisfied. Buried. Sins gone. Came out. Where'd you go to? Right hand
of God. Sat down. Wait till you hear this. He says,
we're seated with Him. What do you mean? I'm not there.
Oh, yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. You're right here. You're
going. You're coming. You're coming. He's coming for you.
He's coming to get you. How do you know them? They all
look alike. How do you know the children of Israel in Egypt?
How did the death angel know who to get? They had blood on
them. God's people have blood. They
have the Word of God as a front lip between their eyes. They
have blood on their mind, blood in their heart. The blood is
applied to their hands. The blood is applied to their...
Isn't the blood wonderful? God says, when I see the blood,
I not only pass over them, but I'm bringing them with me. Bringing
them up. God said in Exodus 3, I have
come down to bring you out, to bring you up. Is this the best message you've
ever heard? It's the same message you've heard all these years.
The same vision. Nothing new. Nothing new, is
it? Same vision that we've been looking
at all these years. A vision from God's Word of the
Christ. His train filled the temple.
We just saw a bride married, and you know, they have a train,
a bridal train, don't they? Those that follow. the bride
and her gown, you know. Oh my, the Scriptures in our
text, we're all going to maybe have a Bible that reads the same
soon, and it says, the skirts thereof. Look at it. Look at
it. In the middle of the margin,
his train, it says, the skirts thereof fill the temple. In other words, everybody there
is under his skirt. Everybody. Did you ever hide
under your mama's skirt? Sure you did. If you're over
50 or 60, you did, didn't you? You got in, hid under her skirt.
Where is she? Where is he? Hidden. That's exactly what this means.
That's exactly what this means. And every one of God's people
know what the skirt is. My heart is indicted in a good
manner. I'm like, why that can't be vetted? People, I'm telling
you, Ezekiel, That child that was in the field, what did he
do? When he came, he said, live.
What did he do? He spread his skirt over him. What did Ruth
say to Boaz? Spread your skirt over me. Hide
me. Oh, my Savior hides. Look at verse 2. There are two
seraphims that stood over this with six wings. With two, he
covered his face. With two, he covered his feet.
With two, he did fly. Each one of them had six wings.
Two seraphims. What are seraphims? These are
angels. What are angels? They're messengers. Who do these
represent? Preachers. Preachers are called angels.
He said, let his ministers be as angels of fire, ministers
of fire. And this is how you know them,
from Satan's angels. The seraphim, the angels, the
messengers of God, that's what Hebrews 1.7 calls his ministers.
Prophets, apostles, evangelists, pastors, teachers. How many did
he send out at a time? There were two angels. Peter
wrote in 1 Peter chapter 1, he said of the gospel, he said,
Angels desire to look into it. Those angels of old were created,
golden angels, holy angels, and they looked down on that mercy
seat and that ark all the time, their vision. You know what they
saw 24 hours a day all the time? You know what was ever in their
eyesight? The only thing they could see, the only thing the
angels could see, that ark. That's all they looked into.
Is that all you do? Christ is all. That's how you
know Him. It's six wings. With two, they
covered their face. With two, they covered their
feet. And with two, they took off flying. What's this? With
two, they covered their face. That's humility. That's shame. Perhaps the greatest preacher
in all of the New Testament was Paul. He said, O wretched man
that I am. Covered his feet in musty, he
said, my loins are filled with a lonesome disease. Covered their face with shame
and humility, the Scripture tells us, O humble yourselves in the
sight of the Lord. They covered their faces, it
says covering your mouth. When you cover your face, you
cover your mouth, don't you? Listen to me now. I'm going to
tell you something, what I see in our day. They covered their
face in humility, shame but faceless. They covered their face to keep
their mouths shut. And the only thing they wanted
to speak was God's Word. We live in a day where the show
of men's countenance speaks against them. There's no shame before
their eyes. There's glory in their face. Now, there's a thing today on
social media, that worldwide web and a net that people are
caught up in, called Facebook. And what that's all about is
look at my face, look at my children, and listen to what I have to
say. Listen to my opinion. Look at me and listen to me. Well, we ought to be as the angels
and say, don't look at me. You say, it's harmless, preacher.
It's harmless. Pride is not harmless. It's harmless, preacher. Just,
you know, just talking idle words are not harmless. They hurt bad,
and God hears them all. And the Scripture says, come
out from among them. Be sent to set them all. Cover
your faces. Cover your mouths. God's in the
heavens. Let your words be few. There's
only one good thing I see out of all these social media, so
to speak, is if the gospel is proclaimed from them. Let somebody
put a gospel, let somebody put on there 1 Corinthians 4, 6.
2 Corinthians 4, 6. Let them put on there, the glory
of God is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. This is what I see. Humble yourselves unto the sight
of the Lord. Cover your feet in modesty. And with two they
did fly. In Revelation 12, if you're listening,
if you're listening, it's all just amazing. With two they did
fly. In Revelation 12 it says the
woman, speaking of the church who was persecuted by the great
dragon, the woman was given two wings of eagles. that she might
fly. Mount up on wings of eagles.
We heard Brother Mike preach on that. He said, bear them up
as wings of eagles. She's given two wings of eagles.
What for? To fly above this muck and this
mire that our feet are caught in. Oh, that I had wings of a dove
that might fly up there. The great eagle. And they cried,
holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts. The whole earth
is full of His glory. Holy, holy, holy. People, God
the Father is holy. People, God the Son is holy.
People, God the Holy Spirit is holy. Holy, holy, holy, holy.
Read Psalm 99 for yourself. And the whole earth is full of
His glory. The creation declares His glory. The heaven and the
earth declares His glory. Day unto day. Wrath is revealed
from heaven, declared as His glory. Mercy also is shown from
the heavens. The sun shines on the unjust
as well as the just. His tender mercies are over all
His work. The rain falls on the unjust as well as God is merciful. And the post, verse 4, the post
of the door moved at the voice of him that cried. The house
was filled with smoke. What are the posts of the door?
What are the posts of the door? Do you have door posts in your
house holding up the door? Huh? What are the posts of the
door? That's the church, the pillar
and the ground of the truth. And the posts of the door, the
pillar of the church is moved by what He says. They tremble
at His Word. They see this vision of who the
Lord is. They see what's going on all
around. And they tremble at His Word. This man, when I look,
he trembles at my Word. And look at this, Isaiah saw
this vision. He said, Woe is me. I'm undone. I'm a man of unclean lips. I
dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. What makes you
say that, Isaiah? I've seen the Lord. Woe is me. You know, Paul said,
O wretched man that I am, a man of unclean lips. What does that
mean? It means that our tongue, with our tongue, with our lips,
murmur and complain, and poison of ass by nature is under our
lips. Our tongues. Chapter 3, he says, I'm doing
all this because of your tongue. Chapter 3, verses 8 and 9. Read
it for yourself. God says, I'm going to wipe this thing out
because of their tongue. He said in chapter 29, they draw
near with their lips. No heart. And I know it's so. And I'm a
man of unclean lips. You know, the only one that can
preach the gospel to sinners is a sinner? The only one that can preach
the gospel to sinners is a sinner. Isaiah preached, woe, woe, woe,
as he should. Woe, woe, woe. But he also said,
woe is me. I'm a sinner. Unclean, undone,
undone. Well, look at what sinners have
happened to them. He said, I dwell in the midst
of a people. Then flew one of the seraphim. Hurry, we found an undone sinner. We found an unclean sinner. We
found a leper. What did he do? He took a live
coal in his hand. Brethren, I have in my hand right
now a live coal, the living Word of God. It came
from the altar. What altar? What altar? The altar of Christ and Him crucified.
The altar of incense. The altar. A coal. You know, one word, Look, he came with his coal and
he said, he laid it on my lips, and here's what he said, that
iniquity is taken away, that sin is purged. Oh my. Those who have seen the
Lord, the Lord as He is. on a throne, high and lifted
up, they've seen themselves for what they are, and see man for
what he is, undone, a sinner condemned, unclean. Oh, but how
marvelous! How wonderful! And my soul, my
soul shall ever be. How marvelous! How wonderful! God sent his angel with a coal,
the gospel of Christ and him crucified, and laid it on my
lips. And here's what he said to me.
You're a sinner undone, but in Christ you're complete. You're
an unclean sinner, but in Christ you've been made holy. Your iniquity is taken away.
You've received of the Lord's hand double for all your iniquity.
Your sin is purged. When He had by Himself purged
our sin, He sat down. Isaiah said, I saw Him. I heard
Him. I heard the blessed good news.
Christ crucified. I've heard that gospel. And that
gospel, you know, we have that gospel comes in our ear. And
then it bore, a hot coal would burn its way, wouldn't it? It
would burn its way down until it got in your heart. And those
disciples said, did not our hearts burn with it? And then he said, I'm going to
send somebody. I said, here am I. Send me. I'll go. What are you going to tell them?
What I saw. Who I saw. What he did. Here's what the witness tells. Here's what the angels said.
Here's what the witnesses say. Here's what all of God's people
say. Here's what every redeemed sinner says. I saw the Lord. Seated. Reigning. Ruling. High and lifted up. His train
filled the temple. His righteousness. His work is
finished. High and lifted up. And what
he did for me is put away my sin by the sacrifice of himself.
And that's all I got to say. That's all there is. And he said,
go tell this people, verse 9, hear ye indeed, but you don't
understand. See ye indeed, perceive not. He says, tell it anyway. And their hearts are going to
be made fat, their ears are going to be made heavy, they're going
to shut their eyes unless they see with their eyes and hear
with their ears and understand with their heart and convert
and be healed. I said, Lord, how long? When are you going
to open their eyes and open their ears? He said, until it's all
over. Until it's all over. But now, hold on now. Verse 13,
but there's going to be a tenth. It's going to be a remnant. Who
are they, Lord? My elect. What are they going
to do? They're going to return. They're
going to come to me and they're going to eat and be eaten. It's the Holy Seed. It's my Holy
Seed. And they've all seen me. They've
all seen the vision. They've all heard His voice,
Wesley. They've all seen His glory. And how do you know? God sent them an angel. And they know the true Lord.
And they bow at His feet. And they know what they are.
And they repent and look to Christ and confess Him. And that's all
there is. Okay. Brother John. Hymn number what? 452. 452, I stand to make. 452.
