Isaiah 43:11-12
I, even I, am the Lord,
And besides Me there is no savior.
I have declared and saved,
I have proclaimed,
And there was no foreign god among you;
Therefore you are My witnesses,”
Says the Lord, “that I am God.

Application: 

In Isaiah 43:8–13 The Lord returned to a theme we see repeatedly in Isaiah—God’s ability to know the future because he is the one true God. His call for witnesses evokes the imagery of a courtroom (43:9–10).*

He called on the nations to testify about the ability of their gods to declare former things (43:9). Could their idols predict future events? Of course not. But Israel, his servant, was also called to testify; his people were also to function as witnesses (43:10, 12). They could truly say that the Lord—and not some foreign god—had alone … saved (43:12).*

That’s because no god was formed before me, and there will be none after me (43:10). Israel knew this, and their very existence proved God’s declaration. God is the only Savior—for Israel and for the world: Besides [him], there is no Savior (43:11). To look anywhere else for salvation is to look in vain.*

The existence and perseverance of Israel is enough to prove that God exists and that He is the only true God. This tiny nation should have been wiped from the map a long time ago if it were not for God keeping an eye on it (Psalm 121:4), as the apple of His eye (Deuteronomy 32:10).^
