Verse 4, Isaiah watches a fighter jet open the doors at the bottom and release a missile that hits a house and fills it with smoke.
This makes the reality of Gods wrath clear to Isaiah. He sees a battle and knows for fact it is real. He fears that he and his people are sinful and not good enough to escape this destruction.
Verse 6 is interesting, I think a pilot landed near Isaiah. Isaiah was taken into the cockpit. The "live coal" from the altar(dash) of the plane is the communication device pilots use to talk with each other. The pilot puts it to Isaiahs mouth and ears. In this way God shows Isaiah that he is worthy to communicate Gods word, is forgiven of sins and is a chosen prophet of God. Verse 8, Isaiah volunteers to tell people the truth of what he has just seen.
People will read the Bible and not understand its meaning unless they are willing to
"see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed."
It is difficult to grasp the reality of WW3 seen through the eyes and heard from the ears of a man that lived in the 8th-century BC. It is easier for people today who can look at fighter jet photos and listen to the actual news that is leading up to WW3. Isaiah is telling the truth.
Verse 12 "And the LORD have removed men far away"
could mean different things. Perhaps a rapture event or it could be men are captured and taken as "slaves" to foreign soil or it could be that men in distant countries have been killed in battle. Possibly it means people are scattered into distant lands to flee battle areas.
