ואחר כך יבוא פעם שניה, ואז חושך חזק יראה וכמה כעס יהיה בעולם, וכמה הרים גדולים יבקעו, שנאמר לגביהם: ההרים ימושו והגבעות תמוטינה. ואז: חסדי מאתך לא ימוש וכו'. ואז ישוב אחורה
because it refers to the waters of Noach, a thing that never was. Moreover, it was not in the Torah at the time of Yeshayahu! Hence, I deemed the reference to the waters of Noach a copy error.However, Yeshayah 54 is a prophecy of Deutero-Yeshayah, and at the time of Deutero-Yeshayah, the Torah did have the story of the waters of Noach. It could even be that the story of Noach was included in the Torah by Deutero-Yeshayah himself. This would be the "first" story of Noach, translated here.
The question is what would be the Perush? The waters of Noach represent the Galut, and the promise is that there will be a remnant, even after the Shoah, after what the Ramchal describes as the first attempt of Gog. This remnant is the State of Israel, and inside of Eretz Yisrael, or if you want, the ark, Gog could not do harm, but outside there was a disaster. Then, Hashem said, this will be to Me the waters of Noach (Yeshayah 54:9). Never again!
Therefore, I withdraw my assessment that the waters of Noach in Yeshaya 54 must be a copy error.
