Isaiah Chapter 6
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twin he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.-Isaiah 6:1-7
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert and be healed.-Isaiah 6:8-10
Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a tell tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.-Isaiah 6:11-13 /the complete chapter***King Uzziah (Azariah) was the 9th king to rule Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Uzziah's fellow Israelite Isaiah the prophet wrote down acts that occurred while Uzziah reigned. During the last year of Uzziah's 52-year reign, Pekah became the 18th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel in the Promised Land. At least 20 years thereafter, Pekah was killed by Hoshea, and Hoshea became the 19th king. During Hoshea's reign, King Tiglath-pileser, ruler of Assyria, invaded the kingdom and began taking Israelites to Assyria. In the last year of Hoshea's 9-year reign, the Assyrians conquered the royal city, Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. The king of Assyria sent people from other lands they had conquered to live in Samaria. Uzziah's son Jotham was the 10th king to rule Judah, and Jotham's son Ahaz was the 11th king to reign. During Ahaz's reign, King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah united to conquer Ahaz and Jerusalem, the royal city. The Lord God sent Isaiah, with Isaiah's son Shear-jashub, to speak instructions and assurance to Ahaz. Afterwards, the Lord God spoke to Ahaz and told Ahaz to ask for a sign from the Lord God. Ahaz's son Hezekiah was the 12th king to rule Judah. While reigning, Hezekiah sent delegates to Isaiah after the Assyrians arrived and proclaimed a message from King Sennacherib, ruler of Assyria. Isaiah told the delegates the answer that he received from the Lord God. When Hezekiah was deathly ill, Isaiah told Hezekiah the words that the Lord God gave him to speak, and Hezekiah prayed to the Lord God and cried. The Lord God sent Isaiah back to Hezekiah to tell Hezekiah that the Lord God would heal him and give him 15 additional years to live, and the Lord God would deliver Hezekiah and Jerusalem from the hand of the Assyrians. Hezekiah asked Isaiah about a sign confirming the healing. After Hezekiah recovered and was showing his wealth and the wealth of the kingdom to a prince and other ambassadors bringing a present and letters from the king of Babylon, Isaiah proclaimed a message from the Lord God to Hezekiah. Moreover, Isaiah wrote down the events that occurred during Hezekiah's reign, and the goodness of Hezekiah, and Isaiah wrote of his own apparel and barefoot state, according to the will of the Lord God. During the reign of Hezekiah's great-great-grandson King Jehoiakim (Eliakim), the 17th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. During the reign of Jehoiakim's son King Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the Babylonians took more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin and his mother Nehushta, to Babylon. During the reign of Jehoiakim's brother King Zedekiah (Mattaniah), the 19th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Over 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah, the birth tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Jacob's 3rd born son Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. By the seaside, Jesus spoke of Isaiah (Esaias) and his message. When a group of scribes and Pharisees asked Jesus a question, Jesus answered, mentioning Isaiah and Isaiah's prophecy. In a synagogue in Nazareth, Galilee, Jesus read from the scroll written by Isaiah.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Isaiah, Jeremiah 39:1-18, 52:1-34, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Reference Scriptures:
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whiter he goeth. While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them. But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. These things said Esaias when he saw his glory, and spake of him.-John 12:35-41
