“How could his train fill the temple?”

Isaiah 6:1, “In the year King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.” Modern English Version

“Flowing train (a badge of dignity in the East) . . .” Critical and Explanatory Commentary, Vol. I

At Jesus’ transfiguration, his garments became as white as the light, (see Matthew 17:2). God covered himself with light as a garment, (see Psalms 104:12). God’s “robe” is light, and that light filled the temple.

Isaiah described God’s garments to the best of his ability. But it was more than just light. It reflected:

1. Dignity.
2. Honor and Majesty, Psalms 104:12.
3. Hidden Power, Habakkuk 3:4.
4. Majesty and Strength, Psalms 93:1.
5. Splendor and greatness of Strength, Isaiah 63:1.
