Today: [Isaiah 45] God Knows the End from the Beginning. In this chapter Isaiah predicts events over a 100 years in advance, even naming Cyrus by name who has yet to come on the scene of world events. Scholars take this as proof that Isaiah could not have written these things as supposed. The suggestion is that a later writer penned these words after the things “predicted” had already taken place. This is a conclusion even “Christian” scholarship maintains because they absolutely reject the idea of prophetic foreknowledge or divine intervention of the hand of God in world events. Nonetheless the declaration here in our chapter is given by God that if asked He will reveal to us things to come that we might align ourselves with His will and pray that His will would be done “as in earth – so in heaven”.
