Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;
I am the LORD your God who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 48:17 Go To Isaiah 48
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
He says, “I AM your God.” This “I AM” means “I am the beginning.” He explained all this to the all-wise Moses saying “I am the one who is.” For he as Lord is truly the God of everything. Those things that are brought into being by him are said to be “beings” also and to share in the source of being.… Again he works in them a steadfast thinking and a well-established mind that they can see God to be truly existing in nature. To these he reveals his glory so that they are not carried away by deceitful voices.
