4. IT was represented in Prophetical Visions. So the Apostle affirms that the Vision which Isaiah had of him, was when he saw his Glory, John. 12. 41. And it was a blessed Representation thereof. For his Divine Person being exalted on a Throne of Glory, his Train filled the Temple. The whole Train of his Glorious Grace filled the Temple of his body. This is the true Tabernacle which God pitched, and not man. The Temple which was destroyed and which he raised again in three days, wherein dwelt the fullness of the Godhead. Col. 1. 9. This Glory was now presented unto the view of Isaiah, Chap. 6. 1, 2, 3. which filled him with Dread and Astonishment. But from thence he was relieved, by an act of the Ministry of that Glorious one, taking away his Iniquity by a coal from the Altar, which typified the purifying efficacy of his Sacrifice. This was food for the Souls of Believers, in these and on the like occasions, did the whole Church lift up their voice in that Holy Cry, Make hast our Beloved, and be thou like to a Roe, or to a young Hart on the Mountain of Spices.
