Thomas Aquinas, on Isa 45:21

“Tell ye, and come, and consult together: who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time? Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me.”

“He enjoins the declaration of his praise: tell, in which he enjoins the office, consult together, how you ought to convert others: declare his glory among the Gentiles (Ps 96:3); who has declared, in which he teaches them the proof of his divinity for converting others, namely from his foreknowledge of future things. And he sets out the reasoning and the conclusion, where it says, have not I, therefore, etc.; he declares the things that are past, and the things that are to come (Sir 42:19).”
