The King and I (4 of 4)
Dr. James Merritt
Isaiah 6:1-9
INTRODUCTION
1. I read about a man who was on a television game show called ''The One Million Dollar Question.'' The host said to him, ''Bob, you haven't had a wrong answer all week on the ''The one million dollar'' question. You are one of the best players we've ever seen. Now you've chosen American History as the category for your final question. Are you ready?'' He said, ''I sure am.''

4. Isaiah also dated a great event in his life by a year. He remembers the specific year because he begins by saying, ''In the year that King Uzziah died. . .'' (v.1a) Now you may ask, ''Was that an important year?'' Well, it was if you were King Uzziah! Something happened that year that caused Isaiah the rest of his life to be able to get his diary down, turn to a certain page and date, even to the hour and the minute, and point exactly where he was and what had happened to him. What happened that year that was so incredible for Isaiah?
5. He says in verse 1, ''I saw the Lord sitting on a throne.'' He says again in verse 5, ''For my eyes have seen the ...
