Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 6:1

IN the year that king Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne , high and lifted up , and his train filled the temple .

In a Vision or Ecstasie.

Either, 1. God the Son, who frequently appeared to the Patriarchs and Prophets, and that sometimes in the form of a Man: Or rather, 2. the Divine Majesty as he subsisteth in Three Persons, as may be gathered both from the Plural Number [illegible: 1+ letters]s, used of this Lord, v. 8. and by comparing other Scriptures; for God the Father is described as sitting upon a Throne, Dan. 7. 9, 13. and elsewhere; and the Glory of God here manifested▪ is said to be Christ's Glory, Iob. 12. 41. and the Words of the Lord here following, are said to be spoken by the Holy Ghost, Act. 28. 25.

In the posture of a Judge, to hear Causes, and give Sentence.

Towards the Roof of the Temple.

Or, as the Word properly signifies, and is here rendred by divers, the skirts or borders of him, or of it, to wit, his Royal and Judicial Robe; for he is represented as a Judge.

His glorious Robes reached down to the bottom of the Temple, and were spread abroad in the Temple, which was an Evidence of a more than ordinary Majesty. The Temple may be here taken either, 1. largely, and so it includes the Courts as well as the House, as that Word is oft used; or, 2. strictly, for the House it self, or for that part of the Temple in which this Vision was exhibited, which may seem to have been the Porch, for that was much higher than the other Parts.
