Read Isaiah 45
Think About It:
What a powerful chapter!
Isaiah prophesied about Cyrus, calling him by name 150 years before he became king of Persia. Cyrus was a type (picture) of Christ…anointed as seen in verse 1 & Acts 10:38; a shepherd as seen in Isaiah 44:28 & John 10:11; pleasure of God accomplished by their life, subdue nations, doors open before them, the hidden riches of secret places. What was God’s purpose in anointing Cyrus to have such sweeping victory? (verses 4-6) There’s no God like the LORD!
Family Time:
- Look for and count how many times it says in this chapter, “there is no other God besides Me.”
- What is a potsherd?
- Should we quarrel with our Maker?
