"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Heaven's Armies! The whole earth is filled with His glory! Their voices shook the temple to its foundations and the entire building was filled with smoke." - Isaiah 6:3-4
Isaiah had a vision of the unsearchable glory of God. He saw the LORD in His throne room, high and lifted up, and His glory filled the room. Around Him stood massive angels called seraphim, who, because of God's great glory, cover their faces with their wings and cry out: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Heaven's Armies! The whole earth is filled with His glory!" We have sung these exact words in our churches in our Praise and Worship, yet often our praises ring void of the passion found in these angels. You can see people yawning or glancing about as they sing the words. Oh, how different is the atmosphere in God's throne room! These mighty, awesome angels are not bored or restless; they are not merely singing nice songs. They do not say, "God i have been singing this song before your throne for millions of years; do you think a replacement could be brought in? I would like to go explore the other parts of heaven." NO WAY! they would not desire to be anywhere else but crying out and singing praises before the throne of God. These spectacular angels are not merely singing a song. They are responding to what they see. Every moment, through veiled eyes they glimpse another facet and greater dimension of God's glory being revealed. Overwhelmed, they shout, "Holy, holy, holy!" In fact, their voices and the entire room is filled with smoke. Wow, its one thing for sound waves to shake a natural building here on earth, but it is quite another matter to shake the doorposts of Heaven's architecture! These angels have been around God's throne for untold ages, for time immeasurable. Yet they experience a perpetual revelation of God's power and wisdom. His greatness is truly unsearchable.
