Yeshayahu (Isaiah) — Perek 45

The divine mission of Coresh to subdue nations, the sovereignty of the Creator of light and darkness, and the universal submission to Hashem.

Hashem anoints King Coresh, opening bronze doors and hidden treasures before him so that all humanity may know there is no God beside the Creator of light, darkness, peace, and adversity. The clay is warned not to argue with the Potter who formed it. Hashem confirms that He created the earth not to be a void, but to be inhabited, inviting the ends of the earth to turn to Him, for every knee will bend and every tongue swear to Him alone.

• King Coresh anointed and commissioned by Hashem to subdue nations
• Hashem the sole Creator forming light, creating darkness, and making peace
• The clay rebuked for challenging the Potter's design
• The earth created with purpose to be inhabited, not as a wasteland
• Universal proclamation: every knee will bow and every tongue swear to Hashem
