Isaiah 6
Why Do the Seraphim Cry “Holy, Holy, Holy”?
Isaiah’s throne-room vision raises three important questions: What does holy mean? Why is it repeated three times? And why do the seraphim proclaim God’s holiness rather than His love, power, or another attribute? This guide explores holiness as God’s absolute uniqueness, moral purity, radiant majesty, and worthiness to receive reverence and awe.
