Study note
Setting — God speaks to a human figure He is arming for conflict, declaring His exclusive authority as the moment of cosmic recognition approaches.
The words — מִ/מִּזְרַח־ (mi./miz.rach-) = from/ [the] rising of [H4217] and שֶׁ֙מֶשׁ֙ (she.mesh) = [the] sun [H8121] establish the geographical boundaries of the declaration.
The thread — The text repeats the universal scope of divine recognition in Isaiah 37:20 and Malachi 1:11, while echoing the immediate claim of exclusive deity in Isaiah 45:5.
Why it lands — The text demands acknowledgment of a single sovereign agent across all directions, leaving no room for competing powers or alternative explanations.

The Hebrew words
King James Version
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.
