Isaiah 41:4 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Who hath wrought and done it? whose work was this but mine? Calling; either,

1. Calling them out of nothing, giving to them breath and being; or,

2. Calling them to his foot, as he said above, Isaiah 41:2, disposing and employing them as he sees fit, sending them upon his errands. The generations from the beginning; all persons and generations of mankind from the beginning of the world to the end of it. The first, and with the last; who was before all things, even from eternity, and shall be unto eternity; whereas the idols, to whom God herein opposeth himself, were but of yesterday, being made by men's hands, and shall within a little time vanish, and be destroyed.

Isaiah 41:4

4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
