Isaiah uniquely emphasized God's absolute sovereignty by asserting that His power extends to the origination of both good and evil, considering this comprehensive control as fundamental to His divinity. He used the verbs "creating," "forming," and "making" to highlight that God doesn't merely manage existing forces but determines what comes into being, contrasting this with a limited view of God's providence as simply managing or guiding.

Jeremiah focused on God's commands as the expression of His sovereign authority, stating that nothing occurs unless God has willed or decreed it. His rhetorical question in Lamentations, "Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has commanded it?", underscores that God's command is the ultimate authority behind all events, both positive and negative. He attributed even the actions of enemies to God's command in fulfilling His purposes.

Amos illustrated God's control over disaster with the direct statement that no disaster befalls a city unless the Lord has done it. His rhetorical question reinforces God's active involvement in bringing about calamity, including those caused by human actions, emphasizing that all disaster falls under God's sovereign control as a consequence of sin.

Together, these prophets powerfully portray a God whose sovereignty is absolute and comprehensive, encompassing all aspects of reality, from creation to historical events, and extending to both well-being and calamity. Their messages highlight God's active and ultimate control over all that happens, with Isaiah emphasizing His role as the originator, Jeremiah His commanding authority, and Amos His hand in disaster.
