A humble glory: holy, high and lifted up
( passages from and around Isaiah 6, 53, 57 )

Part 1: The year King Uzziah died (Isaiah 6)
Gloriously seated
A vision of the Lord enthroned high and lifted up filling His temple with his train
His glorious train fills the temple indeed the whole earth is filed with his glory
I saw, I spoke
Angels speak of it but don't dare to look
I, though though dean of all prophets, had a mouth too impure to carry his words
I have met my end
My heart shook, the door post of entry to the King shook
A prophet's mouth pronounces doom on himself
A prophet's mouth cleansed but by painful and burning coals
A hardness starts
A stump left

Part 2: The year the King of Kings died (Isaiah 52-53 )
Unseated with a glory hidden
A vision of the Lord now as servant, high and lifted up not on a throne but
His glory Men can't see
The worth of this person obscured more than all others
Not a problem of one prophet's mouth, but King's mouths are shut
Not a cleansing of one prophets mouth but nations sprinkled and cleansed
A hardness melts A reed out of dry ground grows
Rejected, suffered, died, overcoming death,
he took the pain of the burning coals from the alter,
he paid the price of the burning coals from the alter,
not just for Isaiah tongue, but every tongue. Paid in full.
not just for the cleansing of a prophets mouth, but for the cleansing of nations.
He was bowed down under their load but He was raised
His soul an offering for sin Doorposts of the church of the firstborn ones now painted with the blood of the lamb.The strong conquered. Spoils taken
All men shall see the salvation of God

Part 3: The King of Kings living no more to die (Isaiah 57)
Gloriously dwelling
A vision of the Lord, high and lifted up, who lives forever, the holy one.
The Lord is high and lifted up and dwells with the lowly and contrite
filling and touches everything and everyone in His temple
With humble glory the high dwelling with the low
With humble glory the holy breathing hope to the heart broken
Their ways have met They were crushed, but so was He, now together with healing, leading, restoring
In humbling, they were healed. In crushing they were cured.
You were told to write reminders upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates
but behind those doors posts, hidden idols of the heart
And if God's holiness would shake the door posts of his temple so will your idols of the heart be shaken
But now, out of the mouth will comes that which fills the heart
Lips once impure flow with praise to the one always pure
Praise created in Mouths shut no longer fit for the King's use
" by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name." Heb (13:15)
Reflecting on and becoming a reflection of the one that angels don't dare to gaze
Peace, peace, double strength and real, for those near and far "he came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. (Eph 2:17)
Blessed is the peacemaker for He shall be called the Son of God,

Be reminded “Only in the LORD, it shall be said of me, are righteousness and strength
