Read Isa. 6:9-13
Isaiah had an "open heaven" experience to cleanse him in preparation of the word he was going to have to give. Also to encourage him because the word he was to give would not fall on hearing ears, seeing eyes, or soft hearts but would, instead, make them hear less, see less, and harden their hearts. God promises that he will always tell his prophets what he is about to do and they must warn the people. So, that is what Isaiah is to do. If they did understand what Isaiah said they would repent and be healed. This devastation was to continue until the cities were torn down and the land left totally desolate. Every man will have to leave when this happens, but like God always does, a tenth will come back and all the trees will be gone. God's holy seed, his fruit, will sustain them. In other words, when these people come back, the remnant, they will find total devastation with no plants to harvest. They will turn to the Lord who will sustain them by the power of his word. I don't know exactly what that looked like but I have never seen manna on the ground every morning either. So before Jesus comes back again God will send prophets to warn us and help us to get prepared. Then he will supernaturally sustain us till he comes.
Lord I pray that you will raise up prophets who know your voice and have eyes to see what you are doing. Make us willing to hear their message.
