The Importance of Prophecy

In Isaiah 7 and 8, a prophet's wife gives birth to a son. The baby is called Maharshalal Hoshbaz; his name means "speed to the spoil" And before he reaches the age of reason, Ephraim will be destroyed by an Assyrian king. In chapter 9, Esmodius gets chased away by this incense and what happens? God sends Azerias in disguise to help him fight off the demon who had already ranted against him.
