Commentary on Isaiah 6:2

Theological / Devotional

The seraphims. Heb. seraphim, literally, “burning [ones],” or “shining [ones].”

Six wings. Compare Rev. 4:8, where the living creatures that John saw about the throne also have six wings. The living creatures seen by Ezekiel, however, are represented as having four wings (Eze. 1:6). Isaiah sees the angels with two wings covering the face, in an attitude of homage and reverence before God, two wings covering the feet, and two used for flight. Ezekiel sees the living creatures with two wings covering the body and two wings stretched upward (Eze. 1:11).
