“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.”
The universal invitation—'Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other'—extends salvation's offer to all humanity. The command to 'turn' suggests repentance and reorientation toward God. The promise of salvation to all creation's ends makes redemption universal in scope. The reiteration of monotheism establishes the grounds for universal salvation: there is one God for all people. This verse represents Second Isaiah's most universalist statement.
