- The books of Kings show a pattern: earthly kings fail while God remains the true and better king.
- This contrast frames national decline as proof of God's sovereignty and goodness.

- Isaiah's vision in the year Uzziah died links prophetic judgment to divine holiness.
- The vision shows God's justice and mercy operating together as he commissions Isaiah.
