== Summary ==

==Details and/or Comments==

*Context:

:Verse 3: the whole earth is full of God's glory.

:Verses 1-8 - Isaiah sees God (= Jesus Christ, John 12:41); God calls him to prophecy to the nation.

*Looking from the ''God's sovereignty'' perspective, Jesus would later use v. 9-10 to show that the people "couldn't" repent. He also acknowledged the ''human responsibility'' perspective, reminding them that they had an obligation to respond to the good news, even though they did not want to do it. ''Both'' perspectives can be seen in many New Testament passages. See: [[Sovereignty and Responsibility]]

==Scripture==

Isaiah 6:9-13 – ecological destruction as judgment against an unrepentant nation.

|Isa 6:9 He said, "Go, and tell this people, 'You hear indeed, but don't understand; and you see indeed, but don't perceive.'

Isa 6:10 Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed."
| He would proclaim the message.

The people, refusing to repent, would become more calloused to it, until they ''could not'' repent.

*[[Two Types of Seeing and Hearing]]

*[[Consequences]] - You cannot ignore God forever and get away with it. Eventually you will ''lose'' the ability to repent.

| Isa 6:11 Then I said, "Lord, how long?" He answered, "Until cities are waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land becomes utterly waste,

Isa 6:12 And Yahweh has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.

Isa 6:13 If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains when they are felled; so the holy seed is its stock."
| How long was Isaiah to proclaim the message? Until the cities and land had experienced utter devastation (because of the people's refusal to repent). The people will be taken into captivity and the land will be destroyed.

*[[Ecological Judgments]] - This is just ''part'' of the judgment. (Other passages describe events ''before'' their captivity, such as famine and drought; as well as events ''after'' their captivity, such as the land becoming a wasteland.)

The end of v. 13 is difficult to translate. But it can be easily seen that there won't be very many people left.
