10.Isaiah's vision
There's an image that God is gigantic and could not fit in the temple. Described as a king sitting on a high throne, wearing a robe. Seeing God could blind. (All explained)
Isaiah's words come from his lips, and his lips are sinful just as any other person, until they are cleansed. They are cleansed from a hot rock, so he then can talk about the divine with unsinful lips.
Verse five relates to verse 1-4 by showing this a "Woe" Oracle. Isaiah responds to the idea of becoming a prophet slowly, only when he has clean lips can he speak of the divine. He includes himself in the community, and is ready to speak when his lips are clean. It's like Whoa! I'm a prophet. How can I do this right?
