Isaiah 45-50

I am the LORD, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me, that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the LORD, and there is no other. I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the LORD, who does all these things.

-- Isaiah 45:5-7

• God is the one and only creator. He will be there to guide us. He has made everything so that we may discover, find and know him.
• Again, compares us as the clay and God as the potter. (V9)
• A general chapter on God being righteous and will save Israel.

"Listen to me, you stubborn of heart, you who are far from righteousness: I bring near my righteousness; it is not far off, and my salvation will not delay; I will put salvation in Zion, for Israel my glory." (46:12-13)

• Prophecy that no one will escape God's wrath and Judgment? (47:1-3)
• Knowledge will not get you saved. (v10)
• Foretells that those that have magical powers will end up being powerless (v11-15)

• God's assurance that he has not forgotten us. (49:15) A mother who gives birth to a child would not forget to nurture, but even if they ever happen to, God wouldn't forget us in any event!
• We are engraved into the palm of God's hands. (v16)
