this started as a reply to nick's post of some hours ago.
i always like your inspirational bites, nick, and this time you took isa 6.
now i'm a bit of a loose cannon, and as such i let others point to my next steps to understanding. it works for me. as i read chapter 6 i saw stuff that made me write this post.
so, here's something i see in isaiah 6.

firstly, yet again it's on this sensitive topic, ourselves.
'this people' of verse 9 is not only those israelites of old.
it is all israelites, of which i'm sure Torah keepers, among others, have joined.
let's look at what this people are to be told (verse 9-10)

- “Go and tell this people,
‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding;
be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’
Make the hearts of this people calloused;
deafen their ears and close their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.” -

so first we hear.
the meaning of hearing is always listening to counsel.
so we're listening to counsel before we're seeing, which is always reading the Word, for only There does one see the Truth.
and this hearing counsel first (what a surprise, we're first listening to 'truths' of men), makes us not understand correctly, and then clouds our sight (the reading is prejudiced by those 'truths') so we can't perceive the Truth.
and our hearts are hardened, not to others, that's not so important, because that heart is the ground in which the Seed must grow.

so, as so many of you have wrested yourselves free from, let's say, the traditions of men streams of thought, i hope you can see what i mean.
anyway, so because otherwise what might happen?
things might occur in the right order, that one sees the Truth without prejudice, listens to It's counsel only, and understands with one's heart, bringing one to turn, healing the heart so the Law can be written in it.

this understanding entails union. judah and ephraim coming together again at last. it is the Law and the Prophets, it is moses and elijah.
it is only when we see only the Truth (aka the Law), cleansed from 'truths' of men, and follow its counsel only (as the Prophets had to do), that we bring the two sides of our own kingdom back to unity.
until such time the truths we perceive and the counsels we follow continually are at war. let's say we tend to mix and match.

how long before we turn? verse 11-13

- Then I asked:
“How long, O Lord?”
And He replied:
“Until the cities lie ruined
and without inhabitant,
until the houses are left unoccupied
and the land is desolate and ravaged,
12until the LORD has driven men far away
and the land is utterly forsaken.
13And though a tenth remains in the land,
it will be burned again.
As the terebinth and oak leave stumps when felled,
so the holy seed will be a stump in the land.” -

until the citadels built up of myriad 'truths' are torn down and no 'truth' inhabits them anymore.
until the houses (our house is our temple!) we built from the bricks of counsels of 'truths' we follow are left behind.
until the heart is calloused, desolate and ravaged.
until all these 'truths' emanating from 'men' are driven far away,
and the heart is utterly forsaken, in despair.
so that everything is cleansed, the ground barren, except for that Holy Seed, the only thing left in the land.
now conditions have been met for it to sprout, the turning can take place, judah willl only listen to the Truth, ephraim will only follow its counsel, and the kingdom can unite, rocks and thorns are not interfering. the Seed, having died, sprouts to Life.

this is that new heart in which the Law will be written. one will not stray from it anymore.
this is beyond the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
now, for those who think they've 'done' their bit, their preparations are complete, and any delay in this new heart coming to being, where the flesh conforms to the spirit, is only part of 'waiting', which we are told to do, allow me to point out that what exactly is happening in this 'waiting' period is the destruction of 'truths' of men and inappropriate 'counsels' and the laying desolate of the land, so that it can be BURNED yet one last time!
our Father is not interested in delays.

hehe, a nice moment to stop
