I don't mean to sound argumentative or unpleasant, but your lines below
demonstrate your complete unfamiliarity with the history of ancient
Israel. Nor have you read the Hebrew Bible very closely or you would
have noticed, among others, this little passage:
Gen 31:30, 35:2, and Ex 12:12, where God himself recognizes "other
gods". There was nothing even remotely similar to monotheism in Israel
(henotheism too is a bad term) until well after deutero-isaiah's time.
Please read more carefully.
