We are continuing our series of messages about the sovereignty and greatness of Jehovah God on behalf of His People Israel. In Chapters 44 and 45 of Isaiah, Jehovah God says at least eleven times that "He Is God And There Are No Other Gods Besides Him." Every message in God's Book is vitally important but when He says something more than once we should pay attention! Our message this week will illustrate these proclamations by the God of Israel and of all peoples.
Let us start with Isaiah 44:6,8 saying, "This is what The Lord says - Israel's King and Redeemer, The Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from Me there is no God . . . Is there any God besides Me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one." Jehovah God is clearly professing that He is the one and only true God. Hallelujah!
Isaiah 45 continues these Godly exhortations with God saying twice in verses 5 and 6, "I am The Lord, there is no other God." Then in Isaiah 45:11 God addresses those who question whether He is The God of Israel, "This is what The Lord says - The Holy One Of Israel and its Maker; concerning things to come, do you question Me about My children, or give Me orders about the work of My hands?" Jehovah God is stating that He Is The Creator Of Israel!
In closing, Isaiah 45:22 declares, "Turn to Me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other." God is still declaring that He is God and there is no other. As a result, verse 23 then says, "Before Me every knee will bow; by Me every tongue will swear." This has a direct correlation with Philippians 2:9-11 which says:
Therefore God Exalted Him To The Highest Place
And Gave Him The Name That Is Above Every Name,
That At The Name Of Jesus Every Knee Should Bow,
In Heaven And On Earth And Under The Earth,
And Every Tongue Confess That Jesus Christ Is Lord,
To The Glory Of God The Father.
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Every Day,
Frank
