Lo, yet am I
weary in my mind, and very weak in my spirit; and little strength is
there in me, for
the great fear
wherewith I was
afflicted this night.
Therefore will I now
beseech the Highest, that he will comfort me unto
the end.
And I said, Lord that bearest rule, if I have found grace before thy sight, and if I am justified with thee before many others, and if my prayer indeed be come up before thy face;
Comfort me
then, and
shew me thy servant
the interpretation and plain difference of this fearful vision, that thou mayest perfectly comfort my soul.
For thou hast judged me worthy to
shew me
the last times.
And he said unto me, This is the interpretation of the vision:
The eagle, whom thou sawest come up from the sea, is the kingdom which was seen in the vision of thy brother Daniel.
But it was not
expounded unto him,
therefore now I declare it unto
thee.
Behold, the days will come, that there shall rise up a kingdom upon earth, and it shall be feared above all the kingdoms that were before it.
In the same shall twelve kings reign, one after another:
Whereof the second shall begin to reign, and shall have more time than any of
the twelve.
And this do
the twelve wings
signify, which thou sawest.
As for the voice which thou heardest speak, and that thou sawest not to go out from the heads but from the midst of the body thereof, this is the interpretation:
That after
the time of that kingdom
there shall arise great strivings, and it shall stand in
peril of failing: nevertheless it shall not
then fall, but shall be restored again to his beginning.
And whereas thou sawest the eight small under feathers sticking to her wings, this is the interpretation:
That in him there shall arise eight kings, whose times shall be but small, and their years swift.
And two of them shall perish, the middle time approaching: four shall be kept until their end begin to approach: but two shall be kept unto the end.
And whereas thou sawest three heads resting, this is the interpretation:
In his last days shall the most High raise up three kingdoms, and renew many things therein, and they shall have the dominion of the earth,
And of those that dwell therein, with much oppression, above all those that were before them: therefore are they called the heads of the eagle.
For
these are
they that shall
accomplish his wickedness, and that shall finish his last end.
And whereas thou sawest that the great head appeared no more, it signifieth that one of them shall die upon his bed, and yet with pain.
For the two that remain shall be slain with the sword.
For
the sword of
the one shall
devour the other: but at
the last shall he fall through
the sword himself.
And whereas thou sawest two feathers under the wings passing over the head that is on the right side;
It signifieth that these are they, whom the Highest hath kept unto their end: this is the small kingdom and full of trouble, as thou sawest.
And
the lion, whom thou sawest rising up out of
the wood, and
roaring, and speaking to
the eagle, and
rebuking her for her unrighteousness with all
the words which thou hast heard;
This is
the anointed, which
the Highest hath kept for
them and for
their wickedness unto
the end: he shall reprove
them, and shall
upbraid them with
their cruelty.
For he shall set
them before him alive in judgment, and shall
rebuke them, and correct
them.
For
the rest of my people shall he deliver with mercy, those that have been pressed upon my borders, and he shall make
them joyful until
the coming of
the day of judgment,
whereof I have spoken unto
thee from
the beginning.
This is the dream that thou sawest, and these are the interpretations.
Thou only hast been meet to know this secret of the Highest.
Therefore write all these things that thou hast seen in a book, and hide them:
And teach
them to
the wise of
the people, whose hearts thou knowest may
comprehend and keep
these secrets.
But wait thou here
thyself yet seven days more, that it may be shewed
thee,
whatsoever it pleaseth
the Highest to declare unto
thee. And with that he went his way.
And it came to pass, when all the people saw that the seven days were past, and I not come again into the city, they gathered them all together, from the least unto the greatest, and came unto me, and said,
What have we
offended thee? and what evil have we done against
thee, that thou forsakest us, and sittest here in this place?
Are not the evils which are come to us sufficient?
If thou shalt
forsake us, how much better had it been for us, if we also had been burned in
the midst of
Sion?
For we are not better than
they that died
there. And
they wept with a loud voice.
Then answered I
them, and said,
As for me, I have not
forsaken you, neither am I departed from you: but am come into this place, to pray for
the desolation of
Sion, and that I might seek mercy for
the low estate of your sanctuary.
And now go your way home every man, and after these days will I come unto you.
So the people went their way into the city, like as I commanded them:
But I remained still in the field seven days, as the angel commanded me; and did eat only in those days of the flowers of the field, and had my meat of the herbs

And I
beheld, and, lo, that man waxed strong with
the thousands of heaven: and when he turned his countenance to look, all
the things
trembled that were seen under him.
And
whensoever the voice went out of his mouth, all
they burned that heard his voice, like as
the earth faileth when it feeleth
the fire.
And after this I
beheld, and, lo,
there was gathered together a multitude of men, out of number, from
the four winds of
the heaven, to
subdue the man that came out of
the sea
But I would have seen
the region or place
whereout the hill was
graven, and I could not.
And after this I
beheld, and, lo, all
they which were gathered together to
subdue him were
sore afraid, and yet
durst fight.
And, lo, as he saw the violence of the multitude that came, he neither lifted up his hand, nor held sword, nor any instrument of war:
And
they were all mixed together;
the blast of fire,
the flaming breath, and
the great
tempest; and fell with violence upon
the multitude which was prepared to fight, and burned
them up every one, so that upon a sudden of an innumerable multitude nothing was to be perceived, but only dust and smell of smoke: when I saw this I was afraid.
Afterward saw I the same man come down from the mountain, and call unto him another peaceable Multitude.
And
there came much people unto him,
whereof some were
glad, some were
sorry, and some of
them were bound, and other some brought of
them that were offered:
then was I sick through great fear, and I
awaked, and said,
Thou hast shewed thy servant these wonders from the beginning, and hast counted me worthy that thou shouldest receive my prayer:
Shew me now yet
the interpretation of this dream.
For as I conceive in mine understanding,
woe unto
them that shall be left in those days and much more
woe unto
them that are not left behind!
For
they that were not left were in
heaviness.
Now understand I the things that are laid up in the latter days, which shall happen unto them, and to those that are left behind.
Therefore are
they come into great perils and many
necessities, like as
these dreams declare.
Yet is it easier for him that is in danger to come into these things, than to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and not to see the things that happen in the last days. And he answered unto me, and said,
The interpretation of
the vision shall I
shew thee, and I will open unto
thee the thing that thou hast required.
Whereas thou hast spoken of them that are left behind, this is the interpretation:
He that shall
endure the peril in that time hath kept himself:
they that be fallen into danger are such as have works, and faith toward
the Almighty.
Know this therefore, that they which be left behind are more blessed than they that be dead.
This is the meaning of the vision: Whereas thou sawest a man coming up from the midst of the sea:
The same is he whom God the Highest hath kept a great season, which by his own self shall deliver his creature: and he shall order them that are left behind.
And whereas thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came as a blast of wind, and fire, and storm;
And that he held neither sword, nor any instrument of war, but that
the rushing in of him destroyed
the whole multitude that came to
subdue him; this is
the interpretation:
Behold, the days come, when the most High will begin to deliver them that are upon the earth.
And he shall come to
the astonishment of
them that dwell on
the earth.
And the time shall be when these things shall come to pass, and the signs shall happen which I shewed thee before, and then shall my Son be declared, whom thou sawest as a man ascending.
And when all the people hear his voice, every man shall in their own land leave the battle they have one against another.

the top of
the mount
Sion.

Sion shall come, and shall be shewed to all men, being prepared and builded, like as thou sawest
the hill
graven without hands.
And this my Son shall
rebuke the wicked inventions of those nations, which for
their wicked life are fallen into
the tempest;
And shall lay before
them their evil thoughts, and
the torments
wherewith they shall begin to be
tormented, which are like unto a flame: and he shall destroy
them without labour by
the law which is like unto me.
Those are
the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of
their own land in
the time of Osea
the king, whom Salmanasar
the king of Assyria led away
captive, and he carried
them over
the waters, and so came
they into another land.

That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land.
And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow places of the river.
For the most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over.
For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth.

The Highest shall stay the springs of the stream again, that they may go through: therefore sawest thou the multitude with peace.
But those that be left behind of thy people are they that are found within my borders.

Then said I, O Lord that bearest rule,
shew me this: Wherefore have I seen
the man coming up from
the midst of
the sea?
And he said unto me, Like as thou canst neither seek out nor know the things that are in the deep of the sea: even so can no man upon earth see my Son, or those that be with him, but in the day time.
This is
the interpretation of
the dream which thou sawest, and whereby thou only art here
lightened.
And
therefore have I shewed
thee the treasures of
the Highest: after other three days I will speak other things unto
thee, and declare unto
thee mighty and
wondrous things.

the field, giving praise and
thanks greatly unto
the most High because of his wonders which he did in time;

And it came to pass upon
the third day, I sat under an oak, and, behold,
there came a voice out of a
bush over against me, and said,
Esdras,
Esdras.
Then said he unto me, In
the bush I did manifestly
reveal myself unto Moses, and talked with him, when my people served in Egypt:
And I sent him and led my people out of Egypt, and brought him up to the mount of where I held him by me a long season,
