Sheshai means: White linen or self-righteousness.
Scripture: Isaiah 14:14
In Isaiah 14:14 we are told, “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.” Sheshai. means white linen or self-righteousness! I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. What is this all about? That is satan’s offer saying, ‘serve me and you get to judge others by your own standard. You set your own standard, so you get to judge everyone else.’ It is Sheshai meaning white linen or self-righteousness. ‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High, nobody gets to correct me. I am above correction. No one judges me. I am self-righteous. I walk my own path and I become the standard for everyone else.’ Self-righteousness insulates against God! Have we ever met anyone who was self-righteous? We can tell because we feel as if we are being judged.
