In secret — l have openly revealed my mind to you. The beginning — Either from the first time that I began to prophecy until this time: or from the beginning of my taking you to be my people, and of revealing my mind unto you. From the time — From the time that I first spoke of it, I am or was there, to effect what I had foretold. The Lord — God by his Spirit. Me — The prophet Isaiah; who was a type of Christ, and so this may have a respect to him also.
