king Uzziah died
Lord sitting upon a throne
Isa 6:2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
the seraphims
Heb. Burners. The word occurs only here. Cf. Scofield Ezekiel 1:5, note. The Seraphim are, in many respects, in contrast with the Cherubim, though both are expressive of the divine holiness, which demands that the sinner shall have access to divine presence only through a sacrifice which really vindicates the righteousness of God. (Scofield Rom 3:24-26, notes), and that the saint shall be cleansed before serving. Gen 3:22-24 illustrates the first; Isa 6:1-8 the second. The Cherubim may be said to have to do with the altar, the Seraphim with the laver. See Scofield Psalm 51:7, note; John 13:10, note. The Seraphim appear to be actual angelic beings.
