Danger in Speculative Knowledge
301
And my just claim is passed over by my God’?
Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
There is no searching of His understanding.”
Isaiah 40:12-28.
Learning of God’s Greatness
From the representations given by the Holy Spirit to His
prophets, let us learn the greatness of our God. The prophet Isaiah
writes:
“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on
a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the
temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two
he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he
flew. And one cried to another and said: ‘Holy, holy, holy, is the
Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!’ And the posts
of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the
house was filled with smoke.
“Then I said, ‘Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man
of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;
for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.’
“Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a
live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he
touched my mouth with it, and said: ‘Behold, this has touched your
lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.’”
Isaiah 6:1-7
.
“There is none like You, O Lord
(You are great, and Your name is great in might),
[250]
Who would not fear You, O King of the nations?”
“O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
