4. Who--else but God?
calling . . . generations from . . . beginning--The origin and position
of all nations are from God
(De 32:8;
Ac 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; 48:12).
