Isaiah 45:14

Yahweh affirmed (cf. Isaiah 45:1) that because of what He would do in redeeming Israel from Babylonian captivity, Gentiles from the ends of the earth would submit to Israel, having learned of Israel’s great God (cf. Isaiah 43:3). The Sabeans probably lived in Upper Egypt between Egypt and Sudan. [Note: See Young, 3:207.] Perhaps one evidence of this happening was the Ethiopian eunuch’s reverence for Yahweh (cf. Acts 8:26-40). No matter how remote, wealthy, or regal they may be, Gentiles will voluntarily acknowledge Yahweh’s deity (cf. 1 Corinthians 14:24-25). One writer argued for the historic evangelical doctrine of exclusivism in salvation, and used it to argue against religious inclusivism (pluralism). He commented on many verses in Isaiah that support this belief. [Note: Wayne G. Strickland, "Isaiah, Jonah, and Religious Pluralism," Bibliotheca Sacra 153:609 (January-March 1996):31-32.]
