in 1894, and has become a standard
concert piece.

sung. namely, Bridal Chorus" from

THE CALL TO DIVINE SERVICE
Isaiah 6-May IA

isaiah 6-May III
'eTben said I, here am L; send me-"
Let us study today Isaiah's vision
The temple at Jerusalem, otherwise
called the House of Jehovah. was the
scene OF the vision But instead Of
the holy and most holy, the mercy
seat, altar, table of shew-bread and
the golden candlestickI everything
was changed glorious Throne was
there. and upon the Throne the
Lord.
On either side of Him, as repre-
senting the Divine attributes, stood
the four seraphim, while the entire
temple was filled with His train of
followers. The temple was full Of
glory-light and two of the seraphim
cried, Holy, holy. holy is jehovah
of Hosts" The two on the other side
replied. Let the whole earth be full
of His glory" Following this response
the door-posts were shaken and an
obscuring haze filed the temple,
dimming the glory.
Let the Whole Earth Re Full of the
Lords Glory.
The signification of this vision VIC
draw from the words OF Jesus. He re-
fers us directly to this vision. (John
bad In fulfillment of the Divine
promise Jesus appeared at His first
advent and offered Himself TO Israel
as their great King Of Glory, the
great Mediator of the New Covanent,
promised them by Jehovah. Ger. 81:

God knew that Jesus would be re-
jected; nevertheless the offer was
made. Had He been received and had
He then taken TO Himself His Mes
sianic glory and power It would have
meant that a sufficient number of
the Jewish nation had received Him
with their whole heart. so as to con
stitute the complete number OF the
Bride class, to be associates In the
spiritual Kingdom.
In that event there would have been
no offer made TO the Gentiles of JOINT
heirship with Messiah in His glorious
Kingdom-Israel would have gotten
the entire blessing. The Kingdom
would have been established forth.
