“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts…and the house was filled with smoke” (Isaiah 6:3-4).
We had this verse before us back in July, but I want to look at it again, and compare it with another verse which we will see tomorrow. As we said back in July, where there is smoke there is fire, and the smoke speaks of a warning to man of the judgment of God. Fire in the Bible often speaks of judgment, and the smoke is a picture of God’s warning about it. It was a warning to Isaiah, away back, hundreds of years before the Lord Jesus Christ was born.
You and I would not want to be in a house that was filled with smoke. It irritates our eyes, and it tells us that there is a fire somewhere in the house. We want to get out of that house, and of course find out where the fire is. In our verses today, the smoke is connected with the holiness of the Lord.
