Isaías 45:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 45:5

I am the Lord, and there is none else
Whom thou, O Cyrus, for the words are directed to him, ought to own, serve, and worship: there is no God besides me;
in heaven or earth, in any of the countries conquered by thee, and thou rulest over; for though there were gods and lords many, so called, these were only nominal fictitious deities; not gods by nature, as he was; of which the following, as well as what is before said, is a proof: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me;
the Lord girded him with a royal girdle, a symbol of kingly power; he made him king over many nations; he girded him with strength, courage, and valour for war; and made him so expeditious, successful, and victorious, as he was, though a Heathen prince, and ignorant of him, in order to answer some valuable ends of his own glory, and the good of his people, and particularly for what follows.

Isaías 45:5 In-Context

3 Te daré los tesoros ocultos, y las riquezas de los lugares secretos, para que sepas que soy yo, el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, el que te llama por tu nombre.

4 Por amor a mi siervo Jacob y a Israel mi escogido, te he llamado por tu nombre; te he honrado, aunque no me conocías.

5 Yo soy el SEÑOR, y no hay ningún otro; fuera de mí no hay Dios. Yo te ceñiré, aunque no me has conocido,

6 para que se sepa que desde el nacimiento del sol hasta donde se pone, no hay ninguno fuera de mí. Yo soy el SEÑOR, y no hay otro;

7 el que forma la luz y crea las tinieblas, el que causa bienestar y crea calamidades, yo soy el SEÑOR, el que hace todo esto.
