Isaiah 45:18-19

18, 19. In substance, God repeats the great things he has done to encourage the true Israel, and all who become such, to trust him and forget forever the absurd idol system they countenanced.

I am the Lord… there is none else Still rings, as it were, the never-ending refrain. From this oft-recurring idea there branch two others. (1) Prophecy coming from God is a thing of light true knowledge; no black art, no voice from the secret, dark place, so necessary to idol prophets. (2) God’s love, shown in creating all things and ruling all affairs, attests itself also toward all his true people. Obeying God’s order to seek unto him, Israel has not to seek in vain, nor long to seek, as do idolaters. God is a real Being, not nonentity, like base, dumb idols.
