'Turn to Me and Be Saved, All the Ends of the Earth' — Universal Invitation (Isaiah 45:22)

Calvinist Claim: Isaiah 45:22 is a general call — God commands all to repent, but only the elect are given the ability to do so. The invitation is sincere but effectual only for the chosen.

A "sincere" invitation that the inviter has secretly ensured most recipients cannot accept is not sincere. If God issues a universal command to turn while having decreed that most cannot and will not turn, the command is performative, not genuine.
The text gives no indication of a hidden restriction. "All the ends of the earth" means all the ends of the earth. The burden of proof is on those who wish to limit the scope.
The imperative "Turn!" presupposes the possibility of turning. God does not mock His creatures by commanding what He has made categorically impossible.
Isaiah's broader context supports universal provision: Isaiah 55:1 — "Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters." Isaiah 54:13 — "All your sons will be taught of the LORD." The prophetic invitation is genuinely universal.

Isaiah 45:22 places the imperative on the hearer: "Turn to Me." The grammar makes the hearer the agent of turning, not a passive recipient of irresistible turning.
If regeneration precedes faith, then the command to turn is unnecessary — the regenerated person has already been turned. But the text commands turning as something the hearer must do.
The Provisionist view accounts for both God's initiative and human responsibility: God provides universal revelation (Rom 1:19-20), universal drawing (John 12:32), and universal invitation (Isa 45:22). The human is responsible to respond — and the response is genuine, not coerced.
