How can Isaiah 43:10 strengthen your understanding of God's eternal existence? Reading the Verse Together “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me no god was formed, and after Me none will come.” (Isaiah 43:10) Key Phrases That Highlight Eternity • “I am He” – a concise declaration of self-existence, echoing God’s “I AM” in Exodus 3:14. • “Before Me no god was formed” – affirms God’s existence prior to anything or anyone else. • “After Me none will come” – rules out any future rival, underscoring His everlasting sovereignty. Connecting Isaiah 43:10 to the Whole Bible • Psalm 90:2 – “From everlasting to everlasting You are God.” The psalmist agrees: God’s life has no beginning or end. • Isaiah 44:6 – “I am the first and I am the last; there is no God but Me.” A direct parallel that widens the claim. • Revelation 1:8 – “I am the Alpha and the Omega… who was, and is, and is to come, the Almighty.” Isaiah’s truth carries into the New Testament. • John 1:1-3 – the Word (Jesus) “was with God” in the beginning and “all things were made through Him,” tying Christ to the same eternal identity. Personal Takeaways for Today • God is not part of the created order; He precedes it and outlasts it. • Because He always exists, His promises cannot expire or fail (Numbers 23:19). • His uniqueness means every competing “god” is temporary and powerless; faith anchored in Him is utterly secure. • Knowing the eternal God personally (“so that you may know and believe Me”) is the greatest privilege offered to finite people. Living Out the Truth of God’s Eternity • Rest in His unchanging character when circumstances shift. • Worship with confidence, remembering you address the One who has never begun and will never end. • Share testimony as a “witness” to others, pointing them to the sole, everlasting God revealed in Scripture. |
