CHAPTER 6

The Prophet’s Vision and New Commission

1. The time of the vision (Isaiah 6:1 ) 2. Jehovah of hosts (Isaiah 6:2-4 ) 3. The prophet’s woe (Isaiah 6:5 ) 4. The cleansing (Isaiah 6:6-7 ) 5. “Here am I. Send me.” (Isaiah 6:8 ) 6. The new commission (Isaiah 6:9-10 ) 7. The limitation of the judgment (Isaiah 6:11-13 ) Note the eight steps: vision, conversion, self-judgment, cleansing, self-surrender, communion, commission, intercession. This vision is the glory of Christ John 12:41 . The fulfillment of the hardening judgment of the nation, the blinding of their eyes did not set in completely in Isaiah’s day. Study carefully Matthew 13:14-15 ;John 12:39-50 ;Acts 28:25-31 . However, Israel’s blindness is not permanent.
