AND THERE IS NONE ELSE

Isaiah 45:5  

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. THE KING OF KINGS [v. 1-5, 13-14]

Is. 44:28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

Is. 45:1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

Ez. 1:1-2 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

Dan. 1:21 And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.

 

II. THE GOD AND SAVIOUR OF ISRAEL [v. 3-4, 15-17, 25]

 

III. THE ONLY TRUE GOD [v. 5-6, 43:11, 44:6-8, Hosea 13:4]

Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.

 

IV. CHRIST THE CREATOR [v. 7, 9-12, 18, Jn. 1:1-3]

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

 

V. THE AUTHOR OF SALVATION [v. 8, 22, 24, Heb. 5:9, 12:2]

-And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

-Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

 

VI. THE GOD WHO SPEAKS [v. 19-21, 23]
