This vision is meant to break down our warm and fuzzy preconceptions of God, but it also shows us the grace of God. Isaiah’s sin is atoned for, and He is sent on a mission with a message. It is important for us to see “Isaiah’s Vision” (Isaiah 6:1-13).

The prophet Isaiah was sent with a message of warning and condemnation to Judah. Unless Judah repented, she would experience the judgment of the Lord.
