Jehovah God brought
the Israelites into an esclusive covenant relationship with him, in
the third month after their leaving Egypt. (Ex. 19:5, 6) He dealt
with them as a nation and give them a theocratic government founded
on the Law covenant, their national constitution. (Isa 33:22) The
Israelites, represent Jehovah as their Sovereign Lord. After becoming
settled in the Promissed Land however, they worship other gods.
Therefore, through the prophet Isaia, Jehovah issued a challenge. Is
there a god among the gods of the nations that can do the things
Jehovah does, so as to predict things in advance accurately? He also
ask these gods to furnish their witnesses and the people of the
nations to ''hear and say, 'it is the truth!' (Isa. 43:9) Jehovah
made clear to Israel their responsibility in settling the question
WHO IS THE TRUE
GOD?
Jehovah said: ''You
are my witnesses, ... even my servant whom I have chosen, in order
that you may know and have faith in me, and that you may understand
that I am the same One. Before me there was no God formed, and after
me there continued to be none. I—I am Jehovah, and besides me there
is no savior....So you are my witnesses,...and I am God.''—Isa.43:10-12.—From Proclaimers of God's Kingdom-edited by the
