Yeshayah 45:6 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 45:6

That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the
west
That all the inhabitants of the world, from east to west, which takes in the habitable part of the world, that from north to south not being entirely so; that all within this compass, by hearing what great things God did by Cyrus, and for his people, might know, own, and acknowledge, that there is none besides me: I am the Lord, and there is none else;
or, "besides me there is nothing" ^F12; all creatures are nonentities in comparison of God; and he fills up all places, and everything lives, and moves, and has its being in him; and there is no God, the Lord, the eternal Jehovah, but the one true God, Father, Son, and Spirit.

Yeshayah 45:6 In-Context

4 For the sake of avdi Ya’akov, and Yisroel My Bachir, I have even called thee by thy shem (name); I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known Me.

5 I am Hashem, and there is none other, there is no Elohim besides Me; I equipped thee, though thou hast not known Me;

6 That they may know from the rising of the shemesh, even to the ma’arav (west, setting place of the sun), that there is none apart from Me. I am Hashem, and there is no other [Elohim].

7 I form ohr, and create choshech; I make shalom, and create rah; I Hashem worketh all these things.

8 Cause [the rain] to trickle down, ye Shomayim, from above, and let the blue sky pour down tzedek; let eretz open, and let Yesha (salvation) blossom, and let tzedakah (righteousness) tatzmiach (spring up; Tzemach) together; I Hashem have created it.
