The sovereignty of God rests within and belief is not enough, only action is the ticket. I may be taxing the meaning of belief but in the modern usage it is taxed anyway.
it'd be interesting to see what cultures were like during the reign of cyrus. I wonder if they liked tacos
Action based upon and preceded by belief, DB?
Or the book was written a few hundred years after Isaiah like the gospels were written 3 hundred years after JC.Experiance resonant in the memory.
It is a personal journey (the narrow path).
Merry Christmas, Motar.In the context of ancient Israel and idolatry, the following prediction is made:
"By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear." (Isaiah 45:23 NIV)
To whom does "every knee; every tongue" apply?

Merry Christmas, Motar.
The Every Knee and Every Tongue applies to every person that every lived, the living and those who will live. There will be no more questions about the Living God. Athiests, Lutherans, Hindus, Agnostics, Catholics, Christians - all segments, sects, religions will know Jesus was not a lunatic. They will know he was not a liar. They will know he is LORD and every tongue will confess this TRUTH.
I imagine it shall be a very fine day indeed.
How rude I am!
Merry Christmas to All.
I know what you are referring to but that can present some difficulties as language usage has changed over the centuries. Explanatory notes can give readers proper context so that they may learn the Bible more readily. Just as an example Jesus said, suffer me the little children". Some people believe today that he meant that you must suffer and be submissive like children in order to achieve salvation. But, in fact, "suffer me" in past centuries meant "bring to me". Nothing more. Most modern readers would not know this just by reading RLB.
Merry Christmas, cj.
A revealing day which all will experience together:
"And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken." (Isaiah 40:5 NIV)
You're waiting for a day that started at conception, since then you have been bathed in revelation without end. It's not too late to catch the bus.
A progressive unveiling of the glory of the Lord has been taking place since the creation of the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1) and will culminate with the restoration of Eden (Revelation 22), DB. The eye of faith can witness the whole of it right now in creation, in the recorded revelation, in Israel, in the Lord Jesus Christ and in the people of God.
