Ayi sigh ayi

Reading Isaiah is drifty.

I am getting lost. The sentences don't mean much.
It seems like it's trying to predict something. I can't tell if it's trying to prophecy an event or if the event has already occured.

It makes vague comparisons and you don't know what it's being figurative or factual.

So far from my reading and limited knowledge, I understand that Israel is stuffed cos it did some bad things. I wonder if the reader at that time knew that they were stuffed. If they actually listened to Isaiah's words, they would be shaking in their boots.

Every now and again, I can pick up references to Jesus the Christ. But these references seem to be voiced among a whole bunch of other incoherent and non-relating topics and events.

It would certainly help if I knew the History behind this book.
