“And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.”
The challenge 'Who is like me? Let them proclaim it, let them declare and set it before me. Who has announced from of old the things to come? Let them tell us what is yet to be'—reiterates the criterion of predictive knowledge. The demand that rivals prove themselves through prophecy establishes what distinguishes the true God from all others. The divine confidence that none can match this test underscores God's unique status. This verse uses prophecy as evidence of divinity while validating Second Isaiah itself.
