Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD? and [there is] no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; [there is] none beside me.

Commentary on Isaiah 45:21

Theological / Devotional

Tell ye. This challenge is addressed to those who worship idols. Let them, if they can, set forth convincing proof of their divinity (see on chs. 41:22, 23; 43:9; 44:7).

A just God and a Saviour. Justice and mercy are the principles that determine all of God’s dealings with men. Satan charged that these qualities are incompatible, and that God is not merciful to His creatures in the exercise of divine justice, nor was He just in His exercise of mercy. The plan of salvation was designed to prove this charge false, (see on Ps. 85:10).
