It was mentioned as a lighthearted resource for understanding Isaiah, emphasizing the importance of God's presence over historical details.
I really doubt that the Lord wants us to study Isaiah so that we will know about Pekah or Damascus or the son of Amalia. At the final judgment, I don't think we will be quizzed on the geopolitical situation in the Middle East. For me, the greatest lesson in this chapter is the promise of Emmanuel, the assurance that God is with us.
