Isaiah 45:1-25
I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me.
I bring propsperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things.
Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker, to him who is but a potsherd amng the potsherds on the ground.
I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness: "He will rebuild my city and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward, says the Lord Almighty".
By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity(公義) a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. They will say of me, 'In the Lord alone are righteousness and strength.' (v23)
The Descendants of Isreal will be found righteous and will exult.
Why?
God's love reaches beyond Israel to the world. The New Testament applies verser 23 directly to Christ.
Though we do not know the Lord, when we follow him , the Lord will strengthen us. No one can understand what the Lord's plan and wisdom.
The Lord is creator of everything, how can we argue with Him!
The Descendants of Isreal is the people who believes in Jesus Christ is son of God and obey his commands. They are blessed descendants.
How?
There are integrity, righteousness and strength in the Lord. He is the maker of everything. Obey Him, trust in Him, God is the everlasting God. There is no one except God in heaven, there is nothing lasting for ever in the world.
