2 Esdras 5:44
43. So I answered and said, Couldest thou not make those that have been made, and be now, and that are for to come, at once; that thou mightest shew thy judgment the sooner?44. Then answered he me, and said, The creature may not haste above the maker; neither may the world hold them at once that shall be created therein.45. And I said, As thou hast said unto thy servant, that thou, which givest life to all, hast given life at once to the creature that thou hast created, and the creature bare it: even so it might now also bear them that now be present at once.
