Apocalypse of Abraham 4

Vision of the Throne

And I said: There is one who is more worthy than all these, who created all these things.

2Then I heard a voice coming from heaven, not from human lips, saying:

3Abraham! Abraham! You seek the God of gods, the Creator, in the understanding of your heart. I am he.

4Leave the house of your father, lest you yourself be killed in the sins of your father's house.

5And I went out, and it happened that when I went out of the house.

6Before I reached the door of the courtyard, there came the sound of great thunder.

7And fire fell from heaven and burned the house along with everything in it.

8Even the ground to a depth of forty cubits.
