Isaiah was an amazing prophet of God, and he quotes God often as the Creator when relating to His children Israel and to us through Jesus Christ. For Jesus said, "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father", and "I and the Father are one." (John 14:9 and John 10:30).
Isaiah quotes God in Isaiah Chapter 51:7-8, "Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, a people in whose heart is My law; do not fear the reproach of man, neither be dismayed at their revilings. For the moth will eat them like wool. But My righteousness shall be forever, and My salvation to all generations." He goes on to quote God in 51:12-16, "I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you that you are afraid of man who dies, and of the son of man who is made like grass; that you have forgotten the Lord your Maker, who stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; that you fear continually all day long because of the fury of the oppressor, as he makes ready to destroy? But where is the fury of the oppressor? The exile will soon be set free, and will not die in the dungeon, nor will his bread be lacking. For I am the Lord your God, who stirs up the sea and its waves roar (the Lord of hosts is His name). And I have put My words in your mouth, and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, 'You are My people.'"
Let us be comforted by God's the Father's word to His people the offspring of Abraham and through Jesus Christ to us who believe in Him.
