5. One man’s worship experience... MOSES Paraphrase of Exodus 34

6. "In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: 'Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.' At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. ISAIAH 6:1-8

7. `Woe to me!' I cried. 'I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.' Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, `See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.' Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, `Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' And I said, `Here am I. Send me!'" ISAIAH 6:1-8 continued
