Here am I send me, send me1

Isaiah 6:6-13
One of the seraphs flew to Isaiah with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched Isiah's mouth and said,'See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."
Isaiah heard the Lords saying,"Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?
Isaiah said, "Here am I. Send me!" He said, "go and tell this people..."
"Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving."
"For how long, O Lord?" Isaiah said.
The Lord answered:"Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left deserted and the fields ruined and ravaged..."
But as the terebinth and oak leave stumps when they are cut down, so the holy seed will be the stump in the land.
The Lord sent Isaiah to a nation deaf and blind to his entreaties; a nation that would be destroyed and taken captive.
Yet there was hope: the germ of a new nation would survive.
Why?
Only the Lord has right to take guilt away and atone our sin.
Isaiah reply to the Lord "Here am I. Send me!" He takes his responsibility when he saw the Lord.
The command of the Lord is "Go and tell this people..., though they be ever hearing, but never understanding." Until the day of God is coming, then they will understand. Even though, the Love keep a stump of oak tree as holy seed for the future in the land.
V9-10 God did not intend to stop people repenting. He sent Isaiah out with the express purpose of saving people from judgment, and the prophet's message is clear. But the people shut their ears and refused to act.
How?
Yes, Lord, Here I am. Send me! I will go and tell this people of your message.This is my desire to preach your word and love to the people for your calling.
