2 Esdras 9:5
4. Then shalt thou well understand, that the most High spake of those things from the days that were before thee, even from the beginning.5. For like as all that is made in the world hath a beginning and an end, and the end is manifest:6. Even so the times also of the Highest have plain beginnings in wonder and powerful works, and endings in effects and signs.
