Isaías 6:7-13

7 y tocando con él sobre mi boca, dijo: He aquí que esto tocó tus labios, y quitará tu culpa, y tu pecado será limpiado.

8 Después oí la voz del Señor, que decía: ¿A quién enviaré, y quién irá por nosotros? Entonces respondí yo : Heme aquí, envíame a mí.

9 Entonces dijo: Anda, y di a este pueblo: Oíd bien, y no entendáis; ved por cierto, mas no comprendáis.

10 Engruesa el corazón de este pueblo, y agrava sus oídos, y ciega sus ojos; para que no vea con sus ojos, ni oiga con sus oídos, ni su corazón entienda; ni se convierta, y haya para él sanidad.

11 Y yo dije: ¿Hasta cuándo, Señor? Y respondió él: Hasta que las ciudades estén asoladas, y sin morador, ni hombre en las casas, y la tierra sea tornada en desierto;

12 hasta que el SEÑOR quite lejos los hombres, y haya gran soledad en la tierra.

13 Y quedará en ella la décima parte , y volverá; y será asolada, como el olmo y como el alcornoque, de los cuales en la tala queda el tronco con vida ; su tronco, simiente santa.

Isaías 6:7-13 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 6

This chapter contains a vision of the glory and majesty of Christ, the mission and commission of the prophet, and the destruction of the Jews. In the vision may be observed the time of it, and the object seen; who is described by the throne on which he sat, Isa 6:1 and by his ministers about him; and these, by their name, by their situation, by their wings and the use of them, and by their employment, Isa 6:2,3 and by the effects their crying to one another had upon the place where they were, Isa 6:4 and next follows the effect the whole vision had on the prophet, which threw him into great distress of mind; and the relief he had by one of the seraphim, and the manner of it, Isa 6:6,7 upon which a question being put, concerning sending some person, the prophet makes answer, expressing his readiness to go, Isa 6:8 when a commission is given him, and the message he is sent with is declared, Isa 6:9,10 whereupon he asks how long it would be the case of the Jews mentioned in the message he was sent with; and he is told it would continue until the utter destruction of them, Isa 6:11,12 and yet, for the comfort of him and other saints, it is intimated that there would be a remnant among them, according to the election of grace, Isa 6:13.
