Bible Answer: Greetings Nilmani78, Isaiah 41:4 "Who has performed and done this, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he." Here is a bit of commentary on this verse.. "Isa 41:4 - Who — else but God? calling ... generations from ... beginning — The origin and position of all nations are from God (Deu_32:8; Act_17:26); what is true of Cyrus and his conquests is true of all the movements of history from the first; all are from God. with the last — that is, the last (Isa_44:6; Isa_48:12)." (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary) "Isa 41:4 - Calling - Them out of nothing, giving them breath and being: disposing and employing them as he sees fit. From the beginning - All persons and generations of mankind from the beginning of the world. I - Who was before all things even from eternity, and shall be unto eternity." (John Wesley's Explanatory Notes) Blessings to you, Makarios |
