This is what the Lord says-Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies:
“I am the first and the last; there is no other God. Who is like Me? Let him step forward and prove to you his power. Let him do as I have done since ancient times when I established a people and explained its future. Do not tremble; do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim to you My purposes for you long ago? You are my witnesses-is there any other God No! There is not other Rock-not one!” (vv. 6-8, NLT)
