We have not heard from Isaiah since the death of the good king Uzziah, nor through the reign of Uzziah’s son Jotham, because they both sought the Lord. But now, wicked Ahaz is king and there are many people in Judah who share his wicked anti-Yahweh religious views. God sends Isaiah to inform Ahaz that the alliance against him will fail, and offers the sign of a virgin who will marry and give birth. This prophecy had a near fulfillment in the days of Ahaz and Isaiah, and a far fulfillment in Mary, wife of Joseph. But Ahaz was determined to resist and reject Yahweh and His signs. Isaiah also prophesied the complete downfall of the northern kingdom, and the invasions of Egypt and Assyria into Judah, and a surviving remnant.

There is nothing causal about direct contact with God – there is nothing causal about God. Here, the prophet Isaiah shares his extraordinary vision that he received from God; a vision that enlarged his existing ministry as prophet. In this vision he beheld the glory of the Lord in the temple in heaven. Convicted of his own sin, he confessed it aloud, and immediately, cleansing to minister God’s word took place. A celestial being touched his lips with a hot coal, using a tong. For what was too hot for an angelic being, was not for God’s prophet who brought a serious message full of satire, in hopes of reaching the people for God.
