7. Who but God can predict future events and declare also the order and time of each (see on Isaiah 44:4 ; Isaiah 44:4- : )? call —"openly proclaim" ( Isaiah 40:6 ) things to come [MAURER]. Or, "call forth" the event; command that it happen ( Isaiah 46:11 ; Isaiah 48:15 ), [BARNES]. set . . . in order —There is no chance or confusion; all events occur in the order best fitted to subserve God's plans. for me —It is FOR GOD that all things exist and take place ( Revelation 4:11 ). But MAURER translates, "Let him set it forth ( Revelation 4:11- : ) to me. " since . . . ancient people —I have given the Jews predictions of the future ever since I appointed them as My people in ancient times; therefore they were qualified to be His witnesses ( Isaiah 44:8 ).
