No other god

In Isaiah 44:6-8, God is emphatic that he alone is the sovereign, living God. He further emphasizes this truth by his titles. He is the “Lord, the King of Israel” (Isa. 44:6a). He is the “Redeemer” and the “Lord of hosts” (Isa. 44:6b). He is the “first” and the “last” (44:6c). There is no one like him and no one even compares to him (Isa. 44:7, 8b). That is why those who follow him will “fear not, nor be afraid” (Isa. 44:8a).
