The LORD, “the first and the last,” pours out His Spirit on Jacob’s offspring and ridicules the absurdity of idolatry, describing a man who uses half a log for firewood and carves the other half into a god he then worships. He alone forms all things and forgives, and He names, long in advance, Cyrus as His shepherd who will say of Jerusalem, “She shall be built.”
Isaiah study chapter
Isaiah 44
comfortThe folly of idol-making, and the LORD, the first and the last, who names Cyrus.
