In the year that King Uzziah died (about 740 BC?) the prophet Isaiah had a vision of the holiness of God in which he heard God's call on his life: "I saw the Lord seated on his throne high and exalted... and the accompanying angels cried Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty... and the temple was filled with smoke... and Isaiah cried out Woe to me... I am a man of unclean lips... but then one of the seraphs touched his lips with an altar coal and purified him... then God asked whom shall I send?... and Isaiah replied Here I am, send me!" God then warns that the people will not heed but that Isaiah should continue prophesying until the houses are deserted and nearly everyone has gone away".
