Isaiah 6:1-7 — The repetition of a name or an expression three times is unusual in the Scriptures. Jeremiah 7:1-4 – The temple of the Lord; Jeremiah 22:29 – land; Ezekiel 21:27 – a ruin; and 2 Samuel 18:33 – Absalom my son. Each instance communicates extreme intensity exhibiting deep emotion and earnestness.
Revelation 4:1-ff —
Yahweh’s holiness and other-ness are set forth clearly with the tabernacle and the temple. Their structure with the holy place, the holy of holies, and the cherubim illustrates the holiness and separateness of our God. We are incapable of seeing His face today because of our sinful flesh, but in the end, we will see Him face to face.
God’s holiness powerfully inspires profound awe — Moses turned away, Israel feared greatly, Moses’ face shone, the seraphim covered their faces, Isaiah immediately acknowledged his sinfulness, the cherubim praise Him day and night, and the elders bow down and worship.
1 Corinthians 1:30 — John’s reaction to the throne room vision is different from Isaiah’s. Because of Jesus we have forgiveness, sanctification, and access through him to this holy, holy, holy God.
Matthew 6:9 — Our Father who are in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
1 Peter 1:15 and 16 — Be ye holy for I am holy
Deuteronomy 10:17 — Our God is the God — great, mighty and awesome.
