Perek vav is one confusing Perek. We're not sure if Yeshayahu's mission is just being changed or if the pesukim are out of order. I like to believe that the former is correct. If that would be the case, his mission would be to explain to the Jews that the attacks they are receiving are being sent from God. Yeshayahu here is supposed to be the "Navi on record" and explain to the people what is happening.
I believe this is relevant today in regard to the holocaust. Obviously the holocaust was a horrific event, but instead of using it as a way to hate God, people should take it as a way to view the omnipotence of God. God promised that if the Jews didn't change their ways, there would be a punishment sent by him. I'm sure if people knew this would be the outcome of their sins, they would've changed their ways, but sometimes it's hard to see the reality of something when it is only told to you and not shown.
