Amazing Writings in Scripture

[mikesw]

I have been reading material about God's wrath that brought me into Isaiah and Jeremiah and other prophets. Then it struck me how utterly amazing Isaiah is. In English, it has about 37,000 words (I count as 120 pages). The crazy aspect revolves around the extreme number of events he addresses and many themes repeated let alone the poetic elements. And maybe I'm missing something about some special organization of the book, but it is beyond my imagination how Isaiah could keep in mind the way he would write the whole book in logical order -- or just keep track of ideas.
An aspect of this tracking of ideas may also include the interaction with content of other prophets and earlier scriptures. This is not something I have looked into though. But I do see Daniel developing on points sometimes explicit about Babylon and of the nations following in the pride of Assyria, as found in Isaiah 10:12 which is the basis of the four empires in Daniel.
I would say Revelation is as complex but it largely follows the sequence in the vision shown to him. Isaiah starts with a vision but I have not checked if the whole book is a continuation of the initial vision.

Have others felt the same awe just about the human domain behind writing this, let alone God's wonderful revelation of events surrounding Israel?

My point of the human domain mainly means the daunting task for a man involved in the intricate task of writing Isaiah, especially if people proposed it to be written without the inspiration of God. Maybe people can share of other books of the Bible expressing other awesome intricacies.
