A Vision of Jesus' Glory

Commentators overwhelmingly agree that this is a vision of the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ. They point to John 12:41, where the apostle John explicitly states, 'These things Isaiah said when he saw His [Jesus'] glory and spoke of Him.' This vision reveals Christ not as a humble servant, but as the majestic, enthroned King of the universe, providing powerful Old Testament proof of His divinity.
