"Holy, Holy, Holy Is Jehovah"

 Draw Close to God

IF You had to choose a single word to describe Jehovah God-his essence, or nature-what would you select?  In the eight century B.C.E. , the prophet Isaiah was given a vision in which heard spirit creatures extolling Jehovah, using a word that describes a key aspect of  His very essence -holiness.  What Isaiah saw and heard should fill us with awe and draw us closer to Jehovah.  As we consider the words at (Isaiah 6:1-3, imagine yourself there .

What does Isaiah see? "I . . . got to see Joseph, sitting on a throne and lofty and lifted up," reports Isaiah, (verse 1) Isaiah is not actually viewing the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.  Physical eyes cannot peer into the spirit realm. The Bible plainly states: "No man has seen God at any time. (John 1:18) What Isaiah sees is a vision.  Still, the vision is especially vivid-so real that Isaiah is awestruck, reacting as if he were seeing Jehovah himself.
