Besides East Rising Setting Sun West
Isaiah 45
1. God calls Cyrus for his church's sake
5. By his omnipotence he challenges obedience
20. He convinces the idols of vanity by his saving power














so that all may know
This phrase emphasizes the universality of God's revelation. The Hebrew word for "know" is "יָדַע" (yada), which implies an intimate, experiential knowledge rather than mere intellectual assent. This suggests that God's intention is for all people to have a deep, personal understanding of His sovereignty and presence. Historically, this reflects God's desire for Israel to be a light to the nations, demonstrating His power and love to the world.

from the rising to the setting of the sun
This phrase poetically describes the entirety of the earth, from east to west. It signifies the comprehensive scope of God's dominion and the reach of His revelation. In ancient times, this would have been understood as encompassing all known lands, emphasizing that God's authority and presence are not limited to Israel but extend to all creation. This reflects the biblical theme of God's omnipresence and His desire for all nations to recognize His sovereignty.

that there is no one but Me
Here, the exclusivity of God is highlighted. The Hebrew word "אֵין" (ein) means "there is not" or "there is none," underscoring the monotheistic foundation of the faith. In the context of ancient Israel, surrounded by polytheistic cultures, this declaration was a bold affirmation of the uniqueness and supremacy of Yahweh. It serves as a reminder of the first commandment and the call to worship God alone.

I am the LORD
The use of "LORD" in all caps indicates the translation of the divine name "YHWH" (Yahweh), the covenant name of God revealed to Moses. This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. It is a reminder of God's personal relationship with His people and His unchanging character. The declaration "I am" echoes the self-revelation of God in Exodus 3:14, reinforcing His identity as the eternal, self-sufficient One.

and there is no other
This phrase reiterates the exclusivity and singularity of God. It serves as a powerful conclusion to the verse, emphasizing that no other gods or powers can compare to Yahweh. In the historical context, this was a direct challenge to the idols and deities worshiped by surrounding nations. For believers, it is a call to recognize and affirm the unrivaled sovereignty of God in all aspects of life, trusting in His ultimate authority and provision.

Verse 6. - That they may know from the rising of the sun. Here we have the third motive of the Divine action respecting Cyrus. The attention of all the world from the extreme east to the extreme west, would be drawn by the wonderful occurrences. Jehovah's hand in them would be perceived, and his sole Godhead would obtain acknowledgment. An impulse was doubtless given to monotheism by the victories of Cyrus and the favour which he showed the Jews; but it cannot be said to have been very marked. Idolatry and polytheism were to a certain extent discredited; but they maintained their ground nevertheless. It was not till the true "Anointed One" appeared - the antitype of whom Cyrus was the type - that the idols were "utterly abolished."
