In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew. One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!”

Echo4
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Isaiah's vision of the LORD high and lifted up, his glory filling the earth, lies behind the 'Lord of glory' title (v.8) as a theophanic background; rulers who 'did not know' the glory recall Isaiah's commission to a people who see but do not perceive. The connection is thematic and contested against the more verbally exact Psalm 24.
Low confidenceThe temple vision where the whole earth is full of the LORD's glory underlies the language of divine 'fullness' now resident bodily in Christ; the fullness/glory motif coheres with Colossians 1:19 and the indwelling theme. Contested and diffuse.
Low confidence'The whole earth is full of his glory,' with the temple filled by the LORD's train, reinforces the fullness/glory imagery of 1:23. Availability and thematic coherence (glory filling the sanctuary) support a faint echo; volume is low alongside 1 Kings 8 and Jeremiah 23, so contested.
Low confidenceThe throne-vision with surrounding heavenly beings prostrate/crying praise underlies the angels, elders, and four living creatures falling before the throne; the living creatures themselves derive from Isa 6 seraphim and Ezek 1/10. Faint here because the throne-room cast is established earlier (Rev 4) rather than newly drawn from Isaiah in this verse.
