• Verses 21-25 furnish a remarkable forecast of the Gospel, as it is unfolded in Romans 3. (“Isaiah 45:14-49:4” by F.B. Hole)
• The exclusive claim of Jehovah is emphasized again and again. Beside Him there is “none else”. The faith of Christ, and the Gospel which proclaims it, have today just this exclusive claim, as witnessed in such scriptures as John 6:68;14:6; Acts 4:12; Galatians 1:8-9. There are today men who would go to the Buddhist or Confucian acknowledging their religions as ways to God and only claiming that “Christianity” offers them a rather superior way. In so doing they bring themselves near to, if not actually under, the apostolic curse of Galatians 1:8, while they avoid the reproach that the Gospel brings. It is this exclusive claim, inherent in the Gospel, which provokes the opposition. (“Isaiah 45:14-49:4” by F.B. Hole)

Declare and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath caused this to be heard from ancient time? who hath declared it long ago? Is it not I, Jehovah? And there is no God else beside me; a just *God and a Saviour, there is none besides me.
