Look at ME!

[Isa. 45:22] Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
This simple but powerful statement shows the plan of salvation. It shows the simplicity of salvation: all we must do is look. "One can read may books on theology which expound all kinds of things in an attempt to show how man can reach G-d, but these theories are far from the truth. The Holy Spirit needs exactly four letters, two of them the same, to tell us what to do: l-o-o-k. That is all. It is the simplest, basic thing any person can do, yet the most difficult to do in daily living.
It shows the focus of salvation: we must look to G-d, and never to ourselves or to anything else of man. "Look unto ME, is His Word, which means looking away from the church because that will save nobody; away from the preacher because he can disappoint and disillusion you; away from all outward form and ceremony. You must look off from all this to the throne and there, in your heart, see the risen, reigning L-rd Y’Shua HaMashiach."
It shows the love behind salvation: G-d pleads with man, "Look to Me.”
It shows the assurance of salvation: and be saved.
It shows the extent of G-d's saving love: all you ends of the earth!
Look to Me: In Numbers 21, the people of Israel were stricken by deadly snake bites, and Moses lifted up the image of a bronze serpent, raised on a pole, and the people who looked to it lived. The people were saved not by doing anything, but by simply looking to the bronze serpent. They had to trust that something as seemingly foolish as looking at such a thing would be sufficient to save them, and surely, some perished because they thought it too foolish to do such a thing!
So it says here in Isaiah: Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! We might be willing to do a hundred things to earn our salvation, but G-d commands us to only trust in Him - to look to Him!
For I am G-d, and there is no other: This is why we must look to the L-RD, and to the
L-RD alone only He is G-d. Institutions are not G-d. The Church is not G-d. Pastors are not G-d. Brothers and sisters in Messiah are not G-d. We don't look to them; we look to the L-RD, for He alone is G-d.
[23] I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
When G-d confirms an oath, who does He swear by? He swears by Himself. There is no one greater, so He swears by His own holy name and character. Heb. 6:13.
The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath. He shall say, "Surely in the L-RD
I have righteousness and strength. To Him men shall come, and all shall be ashamed who are incensed against Him. In the L-RD all the descendants of Israel shall be justified, and shall glory.”
That to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath: The L-RD here declares there will come a day when every knee shall bow to Him, and every tongue will swear by His greatness. Paul obviously quoted this passage in Philippians 2:10-11.
[25] In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
One day the Israelites will be our priest and teachers of all things that concern G-d, just as He original meant it to be!
