Isaiah 43-44: There is No Other

There is one common theme runnng through all of these chapters.  God repeatedly proclaims. "I am the LORD, and there is none else."

"You are my witnesses," declares the LORD,
"and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.
I, even I, am the LORD,
and apart from me there is no savior.
I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "that I am God - Is 43:10-12 NIV

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. - Is. 44:6

I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me.
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. - Is. 45:5-6

For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. - Is 45:18 NIV

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. - Is. 45:22 NIV
 
No one and no one else.  No gods of clay, stone, wood, gold or silver.  No kings, princes, emperors, potentates, presidents.  There is no other creator, savior, redeemer.  There is no other God.  Enough said!
