What can we learn from Isaiah's vision in Isaiah 6?
Isaiah 6:1 - 13
ESV - 1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 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.

God’s holiness is unrivaled, exalted, and worthy of adoration. The seraphim’s threefold cry “Holy, holy, holy” reveals that He is completely distinct, morally pure beyond measure, and endlessly glorious. As the LORD of hosts enthroned, His glory fills the earth. Therefore, His holiness calls for awe-filled worship. (Isaiah 6:3) By repeating the word “holy,” the seraphs emphasize the degree of the Lord’s holiness. For another example of threefold repetition for emphasis, see Ezek 21:27 (Heb. V. 32). (Perhaps Jer 22:29 provides another example.) --> "O earth, earth, earth, Hear the word of the LORD!" God’s holiness sends His people out and ultimately centers on Christ. After Isaiah is cleansed, he hears the Lord ask, “Whom shall I send?” and he answers, “Here I am! Send me.” Encountering God’s holiness moves a person toward mission. John 12:41 identifies the glory Isaiah saw as Jesus’ glory, and Revelation 4:8 echoes the same “Holy, holy, holy,” showing that this holiness is forever worshiped and perfectly revealed in Christ.
