Jehovah Is Supreme!

Again, Jehovah declares the truth that he alone is the true God.  He asks:  "Who has told anything from the start, that we may know, or from times past, that we may say 'He is right'?  Really there is no one telling.  Really there is no one causing one to hear.  Really there is no one that is hearing any sayings of you men."  (Isaiah  41:26)  No idol god announced the coming of a conqueror to liberate those trusting in it. All such gods are lifeless, silent.  They are not god's at all.

After reporting these stirring prophetic words of Jehovah, Isaiah drives home a vital truth:  "There is one first, saying to Zion:  'Look! Here they are!'  And to Jerusalem I shall give a bringer of good news. And I kept seeing, and there was not a man; and out of these there was also no one that was giving counsel. And I kept asking them, that they might make a reply.  Look! All of them are something nonexistent.  Their works are nothing.  Their molten images are wind and unreality." -Isaiah 41:27-29.

Jehovah is first.  He is supreme!  He is the true God, who announces the deliverance of his people, bringing good news to them.  And only his Witnesses proclaim his greatness to the nations. Scornfully, Jehovah denounces those who trust in idol worship, dismissing their idols as "wind and unreality."  What a powerful reason to cling to the true God!  Jehovah alone is worth of our confident trust.
