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

Who - else but God?

Wrought and done (it), calling the generations from the beginning? The origin and position of all nations are from God (Deuteronomy 32:8; Acts 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.

I the Lord, the first, and with the last - i:e., the Last (Isaiah 44:6; Isaiah 48:12).
