45:1

Module 2: The Messianic Restoration and the Consolation of Yashar'el

Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 to his anointed, to Koresh, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut.
45:2
I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron.
45:3
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, which call thee by thy name, am the Elohim of Yashar'el.
45:4
For Ya'aqob my servant's sake, and Yashar'el mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
45:5

The Singularity of the Sovereign and the Rebuttal of Dualism

I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and there is none else, there is no Elohim beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me.
45:6
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and there is none else.
45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace (Shalom), and create evil: I 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 do all these things.
45:8

The Rain of Righteousness

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation (Yeshuah), and let righteousness spring up together; I 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 have created it.
45:9

The Rebuttal of the Clay

Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
45:10
Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
45:11
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, the Qodesh One of Yashar'el, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
45:12
I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
45:13
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts.
45:14

The Submission of the Nations

Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, The labour of Mitzrayim, and merchandise of Kush and of the Sabiyiym, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely Elohim is in thee; and there is none else, there is no Elohim.
45:15
Verily thou art a El that hidest thyself, O Elohim of Yashar'el, the Saviour.
45:16
They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
45:17
But Yashar'el shall be saved in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
45:18

The Architect of Creation

For thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 that created the heavens; Elohim himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain (Tohu), he formed it to be inhabited: I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄; and there is none else.
45:19
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Ya'aqob, Seek ye me in vain: I 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
45:20

The Call to the Ends of the Earth

Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a el that cannot save.
45:21
Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄? and there is no Elohim else beside me; a just El and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
45:22
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am Elohim, and there is none else.
45:23
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
45:24
Surely, shall one say, in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
45:25
In 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall all the seed of Yashar'el be justified, and shall glory.
