ISAIAH 45:1-10;23-24 "This is what the LORD SAYS TO HIS ANOINTED, to Cyrus, WHOSE RIGHT HAND I TAKE HOLD OF TO SUBDUE NATIONS BEFORE HIM AND TO STRIP KINGS OF THEIR ARMOR, TO OPEN DOORS BEFORE HIM SO THAT GATES WILL NOT BE SHUT: I WILL GO BEFORE YOU AND WILL LEVEL THE MOUNTAINS; I WILL BREAK DOWN GATES OF BRONZE AND CUT THROUGH BARS OF IRON. I WILL GIVE YOU THE TREASURES OF DARKNESS, RICHES STORED IN SECRET PLACES, SO THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, WHO SUMMONS YOU BY NAME. For the sake of Jacob my servant, of Israel my chosen, I SUMMON YOU BY NAME AND BESTOW ON YOU A TITLE OF HONOR, THOUGH YOU DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ME. I AM THE LORD, AND THERE IS NO OTHER; APART FROM ME THERE IS NO GOD. I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU, THOUGH YOU HAVE NOT ACKNOWLDEGED ME. So that from the rising of the sun to the placed of its setting men may know THERE IS NONE BESIDES ME. I AM THE LORD, AND THERE IS NO OTHER; I FORM THE LIGHT AND CREATE DARKNESS, I BRING PROSPERITY AND CREATE DISASTER; I, THE LORD, DO ALL THESE THINGS. "YOU HEAVENS ABOVE, RAIN DOWN RIGHTEOUSNESS; LET THE CLOUDS SHOWER IT DOWN. LET THE EARTH OPEN WIDE, LET SALVATION SPRING UP, LET RIGHTEOUSNESS GROW WITH IT; I, THE LORD, HAVE CREATED IT. "WOE TO HIM WHO QUARRELS WITH HIS MAKER, TO HIM WHO IS BUT A POTSHERD AMONG THE POTSHERDS ON THE GROUND. DOES THE CLAY SAY TO THE POTTER, "WHAT ARE YOU MAKING? DOES YOUR WORK SAY, HE HAS NO HANDS? ...... BEFORE ME EVERY KNEE WILL BOW; BY ME EVERY TONGUE WILL SWEAR. THEY WILL SAY OF ME, IN THE LORD ALONE ARE RIGHTOUSNESS AND STRENGTH. ALL WHO HAVE RAGED AGAINST HIM WILL COME TO HIM AND BE PUT TO SHAME." ~AMEN~ THE LORD IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY & FOR ETERNITY....
