Unclean Lips

Kinda cool - an insight into what Isaiah meant when he said the following:
Especially concerning the fact that he was seeing the “King” with his eyes, something the Deuteronomist editors of the scriptures and the Law said was impossible to do and live. You were supposed to be able to hear the voice of God but not see God - There shall no man see me and live (Exodus 33:20).
He had just had an ascension experience where he saw and spoke with God and saw heaven. Why was his first concern about his lips? I guess this was a way of describing *false teaching*. He had taught falsely, out of ignorance, and these false teachings were integrated among his society. I would think they would have had to do with the nature of God and heaven because his ascension experience immediately made him recognize the disparity...Woe is me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
