"And they were calling to one another: Holy, holy,

holy is the Lord Almighty! The whole earth is full

of His glory." Isaiah 6:3

The more holy any are, the more deeply are they

affected and captivated with the holiness of God.

The holy seraphim, by trebling the acclamation of

His holiness, "Holy, holy, holy," denote not only

the superlative eminency, glory, and excellency

of God's holiness--but also they reveal how greatly,

how abundantly they are affected and captivated

with the holiness of God. To the holy angels, the

holiness of God is the sparkling diamond

in the ring of glory!
