1And in the middle of the plain he showed me a great white rock that had risen from the plain. The rock was higher than the mountains, square, so as to be able to contain the whole world.
2And that rock was ancient, having a door in it; and the door seemed to have been cut recently from the rock. And the door shone so much that its light was like that of the sun.
3And around the door were twelve virgins. The four who stood at the corners seemed to be the most glorious, but the others were also glorious.
4And they were dressed in linen tunics, beautifully girded, and had their right shoulders bare, as if they were ready to carry a burden.
