2 Esdras 9:4

4 then you will understand that it was about these things that the Most High spoke from former days, from the beginning.

2 Esdras 9:4 In-Context

2 then you will understand that the time has come in which the Most High will begin to visit the world that he made.

3 When the movement of places, tumult of peoples, plotting of nations, inconstancy of leaders, and confusion of princes appear in the world,

4 then you will understand that it was about these things that the Most High spoke from former days, from the beginning.

5 Just as with everything that has happened in the world, the beginning is known from the end, and the end comes to be seen,

6 so also are the times of the Most High. The beginnings are manifest in prodigies and mighty works, and the end is evident in deeds and in signs.
