Isaiah 44:5

It is not only the special people of God who benefit from God’s activities. Other nations also will realise that the *Lord is the provider of all good things.

There is only one God

v6 The *Lord is Israel’s King and Rescuer. He is the *Lord of Heaven’s Forces. This is what the *Lord declares: ‘I am the First and the Last. I was there in the beginning. I will be there at the end. Apart from me, no god exists. v7 There is none like me. Let any who would claim to be like me prove it. Let them produce their evidence. Nobody else from ancient times has ever announced what is going to happen in the future. Let them come forward now and make known the future. v8 Do not worry. Do not be afraid. I announced to you long ago what would happen. You are witnesses of what I said. There is no God other than me. There is no other Rock (place of security). That is, there is no other firm foundation (base) for people to trust. If there were, I would certainly know about it.’
