Isaiah
is interesting, because each and every time you read him you learn something
new or notice something you hadn’t before. This time through, it dawned on me why the
angel placed the live coal from the altar on his lips. The altar was a sacrificial one, and the ember
was a remnant of the sacrifice of the altar. It was a symbol of Christ. Christ, having been sacrificed on the altar,
thus was empowered to purge sin. Even
back then, Christ’s role was know (if only through the glass darkly, and
through symbolism).
