From his analysis we may understand that Isaiahs vision concerns Judah andJerusalem in particular, but also involves all nations, moving temporally between the days of Uzziah (1:1) and the latter days (2:1). The book moves to a transformed Jerusalem/Zion (65:17-18), the centre of a new cosmos (cf. 2:1-4), which involves the judgement of her rebels (cf. 1:27-28). It is this emphasis on Zion that gives the book its theological cohesion.
