Isaiah enters the presence of King Yahweh, who is surrounded by burning ones.
One burning one takes a coal and touches Isaiah’s lips. Toby Sumpter points out that this lights Isaiah on fire. He becomes a burning one.
He becomes a fire-breather, whose words destroy and purge Judah.
He is the fire from the King of heaven poured out on a Jerusalem that has become Sodom and a Judah that has become a Gomorrah. Even the tithe that’s left, the 10% righteous in this Sodom, will escape only so as through fire (Isaiah 6:13).
