Vision of the Throne

Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

And I answered and said: " O Mighty, [Eternal One], hallowed by Thy power!

2Be favourable to my petition, [for for this hast Thou brought me up here — and shew me].

3As Thou hast brought me up to Thy height, so make [this] known to me, Thy beloved one, as much as I ask — whether what I saw shall happen to them for long? " And He showed me a multitude of His people, and said to me: " On their account through four issues, as thou sawest, I shall be provoked by them, and in these my retribution for their deeds shall be (accomplished).

4But in the fourth outgoing of a hundred years and one hour of the age — the same is a hundred years — it shall be in misfortune among the heathen [but one hour in mercy and contumely, as among the heathen]."
