• Then came the challenge as to service, and Isaiah’s response; and as a result he was specially sent as the messenger to Israel. As often pointed out, the unvarying order is: — first, conviction; second, cleansing; third, commission in the service of God. Isaiah said, “Here am I; send me.” When God was about to commission Moses, He had the response, in effect, “Here am I; send somebody else”, as we see in Exodus 4:13; though He overruled it and Moses was sent. (“Isaiah 6” by F.B. Hole)
• In Acts 28:25, Paul refers to our chapter and says, “Well spake the Holy Ghost...”. So here is one of those allusions to the Trinity which are embedded in the Old Testament. In verse 3 we have “Holy”, repeated, not twice nor four times, but three; and Jehovah of hosts is before us. In verse 5, “the King, the Lord of hosts”, whom we find to be the Lord Jesus. In verse 8, “the voice of the Lord,” which is claimed as the voice of the Holy Ghost. God is One and yet Three: Three and yet One. Hence, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for US?” (“Isaiah 6” by F.B. Hole)
