Isaiah :- 45: 21-25
Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them
take counsel together: who hath declared this
from ancient time? who hath told it from that
time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God
else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there
is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye
saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God,
and there is none else. 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. Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come;
and all that are incensed against him shall be
ashamed. In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel
be justified, and shall glory.
John 1: 1-2 says,
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. He was with
God in the beginning.
God says, Every Knee shall bow.
But Unfortunately right from the beginning of time
when God created Earth, No knee ever bowed before the Lord. There was no Unity but only chaos among the people. The Bible repeatedly says
that people will reject God, despise Jesus, and
will rebel and remain sinful. Not everyone goes to
Heaven. But when the Bible says that “Every knee
will bow and every tongue confess,” it refers to the
judgment when everyone, regardless of where
they are going, will recognize that Jesus is indeed
Lord of all.
The phrase “every knee shall bow”
comes from the book of Isaiah. In (chapters 40–
66) of the book of Isaiah, God prophesies through
Isaiah the coming comfort to His people, Israel,
