As a prophet of God, Isaiah was able to share God’s words with others.  Some of the prophecies foretold of God’s wrath that was to come.  “The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.”  (Isa 19:1)  There is no person today who can prophesy, but each of us can know and share words from God.  By His providence, the inspired Word has been preserved for our benefit.  “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” (2Timothy 3:16)  We can also know that God’s wrath still exists today for those who do not heed these instructions.  “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;” (Rom 1:18)
