The LORD, Yahweh, is the covenant name of God, emphasizing His relationship with Israel. The phrase "spoke to me" underscores the personal nature of prophetic revelation, where God directly communicates His will and message to His chosen prophets. This further communication suggests an ongoing dialogue, highlighting the importance of the message that follows. In the context of Isaiah, this is part of a series of prophecies concerning the political and spiritual state of Judah and its neighbors. The use of "further" implies that this is an addition to previous revelations, which in the context of <a href="/isaiah/7.htm">Isaiah 7 and 8</a>, includes the prophecy of Immanuel and the impending Assyrian threat.
