<TITLE>10. Par 75-82</TITLE>L-75   Then we find at the... in the temple, when he was in prayer. Being a prophet, his make-up was to see visions. He was born that way, of course, being a prophet. And he needed a touch from God. And God had ordained him to--to be a prophet. And the vision at the temple, he saw a real King, in the vision. He seen God lifted up, high above all the Heavens, and His great trail filled the earth and the heavens and the skies. He saw a real Example. In other words, God said, "Look up this a way, I am your Example."

L-76 And if we could only do that, in our own ministry! I'm addressing the ministers, and businessmen, teen-age. Ministers, if we could only do that! I would like to be a Billy Graham. I wish I had the education and the know-how, to--to put the thing together as Billy Graham has. But I cannot be Billy Graham, but Billy Graham can't be me, either. See? We, each one, have our place in Christ. And to try to impersonate Billy Graham would be only the same thing that Uzziah did, it'd only result in the same way of a disaster. Just be what you are, what God made you to be.

L-77   Now, Isaiah was a prophet, so he goes down to the temple and he saw the real Example, God. Note the Heavenly Seraphims, as They flew through the temple. Now, a Seraphim is a--is a mighty word. There, it's not an Angel. But It's a... What It is, It's a sacrifice Burner. It's, He has something to do with the atonement, because He offers the sacrifice, to make a way for the repented sinner, to the Throne of Mercy. What a position, higher than an Angel, greater than an Angel! For, the Angels stand back. But the Seraphim goes forward with the offering, right in the Presence of God; a Burner of the... the--the Offerer of the prayer that's been made, the Burner of the sacrifice. And here They was, going through the temple, crying, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty." Think of it, in the temple, before this young prophet!

L-78 His heart was broke. His king had tried to fill his place, that tried to take a minister's place, and had been totally defeated by God, and striken in leprosy; and--and his example that he had looked upon, man.

L-79   Don't never trust in some man. I don't care who he is. If he's a holy man, if he's a good... There is not such a thing. Let me correct that. There is no holy man. There is no holy church. There is not such a thing. It's a Holy God, not a holy man. It's the Holy Ghost. Peter one time referred, "the holy mount," on Mount Transfiguration. It wasn't the mountain that was holy; it was the Holy God that met them on this mountain. It's not the holy Church; it's the Holy God in that Church. Not the holy man, but the Holy Spirit working in that man. The man will fail. He's a failure to begin with, anybody. The very greatest of man fall. Don't never put your confidence and your... to make some man your example. Look to God. Christ is your Example.

L-80   And we find that he had taken his mind now from Uzziah, the king that he loved so well. And he looked up and he saw what he must understand, to be a prophet; that God, and God alone, rules in the lives of men and in His Church. And we noticed him now, what happened.

L-81 We find these Seraphims, They had six wings; two over their face, and two over Their feet, and two They were flying with; going through the temple, crying, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty. Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty." They cried day and night, because They're in the Presence of God.

L-82 See what God was saying, Isaiah to see? The holiness, the purity of God, and the reverence that we should do in His Presence.
