What is happening with the coal?

During Yeshayahu's prophecy it talks about an angel putting a coal to his lips. There are two possible ways to explain what is happening with it. One explanation is that Yishayahu need to be purified before he went on his mission, and after he is able to volunteer to be a Navi. The other explanation is that it is a mashal for what will happen to the Jews, and that he is volunteering for a new mission because he is already a Navi.
I think that the coal represented the second explanation because we already knew he was a navi and if he already was why would he need to be purified.
