Isaiah had a vision of the Lord , but something that is interesting here, the Seraphim took a “burning coal” from the altar with tongs & touched his lips.
Then Isaiah was clean.
Jesus hadn’t yet paid the price for us.
The Seraphim took the “coal” from the altar with tongs , then used his hand to touch it to Isaiah’s lips. – the “altar fire” is Holy even to the Seraphim.
In the time of great inequity how was correction bought about by the Lord ?
What was reigned down on Sodom & Gomorrah?
Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; — Gen 19:24 KJV

Cleansing the land like Isaiah’s lips.
We are all given a chance to know & believe in Christ Jesus, when there is no more desire for those left to seek the Lord , cleansing of the Land will begin.
