Altar Angel Bearded Biblical Burning Coal Episode Faith Hebrew Isaiah Kneel Kneeling Pliers Vocation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'The Vocation of Isaiah,' depicts an episode from the Old Testament book of Isaiah, which is believed to have been written in the 8th century BC. The image captures the moment when the prophet Isaiah receives his divine call from God. Isaiah is depicted as a bearded man of the ancient age, dressed in simple robes, and kneeling in front of an altar. An angel, with outstretched wings, hovers above him, holding a pair of red-hot coals in his hand. The prophet is shown reaching out to touch the burning coals with a pair of pliers, symbolizing his willingness to accept God's call, despite the potential danger. The scene is set in an open-air building, with columns and other architectural details suggesting an ancient temple or place of worship. The atmosphere is one of reverence and awe, as Isaiah's faith in God is tested and strengthened. This engraving is a beautiful example of the art of the 8th century BC, and offers a glimpse into the biblical world of antiquity. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of faith and obedience, and the courage required to follow God's will, even in the face of uncertainty and danger.
