<TITLE>05. Par 29-34</TITLE>L-29 I would like to read tonight a portion of Scripture found in the Book of Isaiah. Tomorrow, be sure if you have a paper, I want you to... I'm going to have a chart up here or a blackboard to kinda draw out the lesson. And I want you to get it if you possibly can, because you can study it after you get home.

L-30 Isaiah the 6th chapter, I wish to read a few verses out of this chapter to draw the context to--for tonight.
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord setting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Above, it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD God of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
And the post of the temple moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tong from off the altar:
And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this has touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin is purged.
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

L-31 This is quite a--a undertaking when we think of the--what it's going to mean as we study this vision of Isaiah. It's... I've always liked Isaiah. He was one of the major prophets. Isaiah wrote the complete Bible. There is sixty-six Books in the Bible, and Isaiah wrote sixty-six chapters. He begins with the beginning of creation; in the middle of the Book he brings forth the New Testament and John the Baptist; and at the 56th and 60th chapter he ends up in the great millennium: Genesis through the New Testament into Revelation. Great man was this Isaiah, finally died as a martyr under capital punishment.

L-32 Every spirit-filled man of the Bible died or was persecuted under the federal government. Every one of them that you can think of: Moses, the Hebrew children, and Daniel, and Isaiah. Isaiah was sawed to pieces with a saw. And on down, John the Baptist, every one of the apostles, Jesus Himself, all died under capital punishment or punishment from the federal government. And according the way things are heaping up, there's going to be more testimonies added to theirs one of these days. See? And if there ever was a time that we must stick together, it's now.
I guess you hear of the meeting going on in Rome, and we're having--they're having a great time over there. And they're going to start a revival. It'll be a worldwide revival, surely.

L-34 Back to this subject (We'll get that in the Seven Seals.) to this subject of being influenced.
King Uzziah was a shepherd boy. He was raised... And he loved the outdoors. And he reigned during the time of Isaiah's prophecy. Isaiah had learning from--from one of the other major prophets. And I believe it was Zechariah, that Isaiah had understanding through him, who was a prophet as Isaiah come on the scene. And Isaiah was called, and he was a--a prophet. Prophets are not just made of men; prophets are born prophets.
Now, there is a gift of prophecy that comes into the church, that people give a prophecy. Many member of the Body of Christ could do that, that's under inspiration. But a prophet is set in the Church by God, predestinated to the gift of--of prophet--or the gift to be a prophet, not a prophesier.
