"Come near to Me, listen to this:It appears that at least the translator of this believes that it is Christ speaking. With the use of capitalized pronouns, Me, would have to be God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit. Since God and the Spirit are otherwise referenced, that leaves Jesus as the speaker, though it is not in red letters.
From the first I have not spoken in secret,
From the time it took place, I was there,
And now the Lord GOD has sent Me, and His Spirit."
I can understand why. Jesus did not speak in secret, and did not hide his plans. He was there at the beginning as part of the Godhead. And He was sent, along with the Spirit, so the people by God.
