Isaiah’s Seraphim and the Meaning of Their Six Wings

Show by Taylor Tailored
Isaiah gives each seraph six wings and tells us exactly what every pair is doing. He leaves much of the creature itself hidden. Follow the action through the temple to see why a vision often turned into a portrait of an angel becomes a story about a person who fears his own speech makes him unfit to be there.We consider what reverence can explain, why the meaning of the covered feet remains open and how the Hebrew language of burning relates to other biblical passages. Then we trace the ember from altar to lips and follow Isaiah beyond his offer to go. Along the way, comparisons with Moses, Ezekiel and Revelation help identify which details belong to this throne room and which belong to another writer’s vision.
