Paul Washer in 1 of his sermons explained why the seraphs covered their feet (Isaiah 6:2). Can anyone remember what sermon it was and where I can find the sermon. Thanks.
Or can anyone explain why they covered their feet in the presence of God.
Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying
The closest I can come to an answer for your last question is the sign of respect for the Heavens. Many people in the East wore robes down to their feet, and the Hebrew (through my research) says that it could also stand to mean "lower extremeties." I do not know Hebrew, though my mentor does.
As far as the sermon, I have heard many of Paul Washer's sermons and cannot recall one about the Seraphs (not saying you are wrong at all). Any online research about that will just yield results attacking him or heralding him, I doubt much will be found about specific sermons.
Who is Paul Washer? Is he a recommended Bible teacher?
I believe most on this site would recommend him. A little more harsh in his words and teaching, but it is the Gospel and I love to hear God speak through him. A great man of God. I listen to his sermons on Biblical manhood, womanhood, and marriage the most.

The R.C. Sproul teaching he quotes comes from Sproul's book "The Holiness of God."
The Washer quote is as follows:
"I have always asked myself: Why on earth did they cover their feet? I mean, what does feet have to do with holiness? What does it mean? I never could figure that out honestly until one day I was listening to R C Sproul. And I think he hit upon the thing. He said, “Feet are always associated with clay and clay with the creature, the dust of the earth. And these majestic beings, even in the presence of God were bowing their heads and covering their feet acknowledging that they were a creature and they were not God. And the place that they held was a place not of rights. It was not their right to be there, but their privilege, graciously given to them by God himself.”
Thank you giggles and dvndsn for your help.
Giggles, yes, that's what I was looking for.
IssacharSon, I would highly recommend Paul Washer. His theology is very sound and he's really a man of God. In these times of deception, I do think knowing and undertanding the word of God is very important.
