4 then you will know that it was of these that the Most High spoke from the days that were of old, from the beginning.

2 Esdras 9:4 In-Context

2 then you will know that it is the very time when the Most High is about to visit the world that he has made.

3 So when there shall appear in the world earthquakes, tumult of peoples, intrigues of nations, wavering of leaders, confusion of princes,

4 then you will know that it was of these that the Most High spoke from the days that were of old, from the beginning.

5 For just as with everything that has occurred in the world, the beginning is evident, and the end manifest;

6 so also are the times of the Most High: the beginnings are manifest in wonders and mighty works, and the end in penalties and in signs.
