Isaiah 44:6
Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. (Isaiah 44:6)
The King of Israel.
Here are set forth some of the most striking attributes of God: He is
 (1) the Lord,
 (2) Israel’s King,
 (3) Israel’s Redeemer,
 (4) Commander of the heavenly hosts,
 (5) the Eternal, the “first” and the “last,” and
 (6) the only true God.
 In vs. 9-20 Isaiah sets God forth in contrast with idols.
