Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 6:1

"In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple." — Isaiah 6:1 (ASV)

In the year that King Uzziah died

You remember him, that leprous king, that king who had thrust himself into the priests' office, and was stricken with leprosy, and shut up in a separate house during the rest of his life. In the year that he died Isaiah saw a greater King, whom no defilement can ever touch, a King that reigns and lives forever, though Uzziah dies.

I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

Whenever you read in the Old Testament that any man saw the Lord, understand that it refers to the Second Person of the Divine Trinity, the Lord Jesus Christ. He makes himself, as we have said, visible to men, and God in him.
