ISAIAH—NOTE ON Isaiah 6:3 Holy, holy, holy. Holiness implies absolute moral purity and absolute uniqueness. Repeating the term three times emphasizes these qualities (compare Revelation 4:8). Glory is a technical term for God’s self-displayed presence with his people, which took various forms. God’s glory was seen in the cloud in the wilderness (Exodus 16:7, Exodus 16:10), and it filled the tabernacle (Exodus 40:34) and then the temple (1 Kings 8:11), where the worshipers could see it (Exodus 29:43; Psalms 26:8; Psalms 63:2). This glory was also present in Jesus (John 1:14).
