year that King Vzziah dyed 2 Chron. 26. 23. The Prophets discovery of the Lord is as followeth I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne as ready to judge Psa. 9. 7 8. But the Lord shall endure for ever he hath prepared his throne for judgement and he shall judge the world in righteousness he shall minister judgemen to the people in uprightness See Dan. 7. 9 10. I beheld till the thrones were cast down and the Ancient of days did sit whose garment was white as snow and the hair of his head like the pure wool his throne was like the very flame and his wheeles as burning fire a fiery stream issued and came forth from before him thousand thousands ministred unto him and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him The judgement was set and the books were opened See that in Rev. 4. 2 3. And immediately I was in the Spirit and behold a throne was set in heaven and one sate on the throne and he that sate was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine two glistering stones And there was a rain-bowe round about the throne in sight like unto an emerald which holds forth the Covenant of Grace See Revel. 6. 16. And they said to the mountains and rocks Fall on us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb And that in Rev. 20. 12. And I saw the dead small and great stand before God and the books were opened and another book was opened which is the book of life and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works At vers. 19. And I saw a great white throne and him that sate on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away and there was found no place for them Or the Throne may be taken thus A Throne denotes Dignity Rule Kingliness Authority Sitting holds forth Rest The words being thus explained the meaning of them is this Isaiah saw the Lord sitting upon the Throne that is ruling reigning triumphing in a peaceable manner over his enemies High and lifted up that is far above all principalities and powers might and dominion and every name that is named not onely in this world but that which is to come Eph. 1. 21. And his train filled the temple That is the skirts of his Robes with which he sate upon the Throne filled the Temple that is the Saints for they are the Temple of the living God 1 Cor. 3. 16 17. Above it that is above the Throne stood the Seraphims What are those Angels appearing as fire Psal. 104. 4. Who maketh his angels spirits his ministers a flaming fire These stood and attended Christ See Dan. 7. 10. Thousand thousands ministred unto him and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before the Ancient of days that sate upon the Throne whose garments were white as snow Each one had six wings with twain he covered his face as not able to endure the brightness of Christ's glory even as Moses did see Exod. 3. 6. Moreover he said I am the God of thy fathers the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob And Moses hid his face for he was afraid to look upon God See that likewise in 1 King 19. 11 12 13. And he said Go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord And behold the Lord passed by and a great and strong winde rent the mountains and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord but the Lord was not in the winde and after the winde an earthquake but the Lord was not in the earthquake and after the earthquake a fire but the Lord was not in the fire and after the fire a still small voice And it was so when Elijah heard it that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entring in of the cave Elijah could not endure the glory of God and therefore puts a mantle before his face And with twain he covered his feet as abashed in apprehension of their own infirmities and imperfections compared with God's incomparable perfection and majestie Job 4. 18. Behold he put no trust in his servants and his angels he charged with folly And with twain he did flie Which speaks their readiness and swiftness to go about God's business Psal. 110. 20. Bless the Lord ye his angels that excel in strength that do his commandments hearkning unto the voice of his word And one cried to another or this cried to this Holy holy holy Their constant employment is praising God See Rev. 4. 8. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about them and they were full of eyes within and they rest not day and night saying Holy holy holy Lord God Almighty which was and is and is to come The whole earth is full of his glory or his glory is the fulness of the whole earth He fills heaven and earth with his glory we can look nowhere but behold glory Psal. 104. 24 25. Lord how manifold are thy works in wisdom hast thou made them all the earth is full of thy riches so is this great and wide sea And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried and the house was filled with smoak that is the posts of the door of the house or temple moved The posts are those upon which the door hangs Their moving was a signe of God's indignation See Amos 9. 1. I saw the Lord standing upon the altar and he said Smite the lintel of the door that the posts may shake and cut them in the head all of them and I will slay the last of them with the sword he that fleeth of them shall not flee away and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered And the house was filled with smoak Another signe of his fierce anger incensed See Psal. 18. 7 8. Then the earth shook and trembled the foundations of the hills moved and were shaken because he was wroth There went up a smoak out of his nostrils and fire out of his mouth devoured coals were kindled by it See Deut. 29. 20. The Lord will not spare him but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousie shall smoak against that man Or by smoak here is meant darkness see Rev. 15. 8. And the temple was filled with smoak from the glory of God from his power and no man was able to enter into the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled In this symbolical Vision Isaiah saw the Lord and the discovery of the Lord had such an efficacie and power upon his spirit that he was forced to cry out that he was undone So that the words are a fruit of that discovery that Isaiah had of Christ And there are in them these things to be considered First Here is what Isaiah said when he saw the Lord Wo is me or Wo belongs to
