It was concerning the future fulfillment of this prophecy that Isaiah had heard the shining seraphim singing before the throne, "The whole earth is full of His glory." Isaiah 6:3. The prophet, confident of the certainty of these words, himself afterward boldly declared of those who were bowing down to the images of wood and stone, "They shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God." Isaiah 35:2.

Det var den fremtidige opfyldelse af denne profeti, Esajas havde hørt den skinnende seraf synge om foran tronen: "Al jorden er fuld af hans herlighed!" Es. 6,3. I tillid til disse ords pålidelighed fremsatte profeten senere den dristige udtalelse, at de, som bøjede sig for billeder af træ og sten, skulle skue "Herrens herlighed", "vor Guds højhed". Es. 35,2.
