Isaiah continues to encourage the future exiles of Judah so that they will hold fast to their faith in the Lord even in the midst of dire circumstances. Then the Lord presents His case for His greatness as if He were in court in order to build up that faith. The first testimony is provided by a future deliverer. He will send some 150 years later. He will testify to the Lord’s greatness as well as His omniscience. The second witness is that of the gods of the pagans themselves. These are the works of human minds and hands. The gods of all religions are fabrications. They are imaginary, fake, fraudulent and so utterly useless.
For these reasons, we who worship the one true God, Yahweh, have nothing to fear from other religions or nations. We have nothing to fear from pagan gods or even Satan and his demonic hordes and the billions of humans he holds enslaved. The Lord God is Almighty. We who worship Him worship the only God who exists, and thus is the only God who can bring real peace and comfort.
In our world there are billions of people who seek this same comfort in other religions, in material goods, in relationships and in the pleasures of the flesh. How any one can maintain that all religions are equal is ridiculous since God Himself tells us that it is He who lives and it is He we should worship and adore. Though it may seem for a time that those who oppose Yahweh have the upper hand, this does not reflect reality. He will surely vindicate His loved ones and enforce true justice on all the earth.
