God's Unrivaled Sovereignty
Commentators agree this verse is one of the Bible's most powerful declarations of God's exclusive sovereignty. The emphatic phrase 'I, even I, am he' serves to eliminate any rivals. His authority is absolute, extending over the ultimate polarities of life and death, wounding and healing. This establishes that He alone is God, and there are no other powers to whom we should look or fear.
