2Ezra


EZRA ​ II

450 BC ish

Esdras is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Ezra.

Esdras I is a compilation of passages from Ezra, 2 Chronicles, and Nehemiah.

It relates OT history from the Passover celebration in time of Josiah (621BC) and ending with the public reading of the law by Ezra in 444BC.



Esdras II is really amazing in that it talks about future Israelites. We who are living in today's time. The Jews are not Israel. We, the Adamic white anglo-saxon race of Yahweh God's family are the True Israelites of scripture. Ezra is shown visions and given insight of future Israelites.

II Esdras 1:1 ​ The second book of the prophet Ezra the son of Seraiah, son of Azariah, son of Hilkiah, son of Shallum, son of Zadok, son of Ahitub,
​ son of Ahijah, son of Phinehas, son of Eli, son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Meraioth, son of Arna, son of Uzzi, son of Borith, son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eleazar,
​ son of Aaron, of the tribe of Levi, who was a captive in the country of the Medes in the reign of Artaxerxes, king of the Persians.

Ezra states 20 generations of his lineage in the tribe of Levi. He was a Levitical priest.

The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
"Go and declare to My people their evil deeds, and to their children the iniquities which they have committed against Me, so that they may tell their children's children
that the sins of their parents have increased in them, for they have forgotten Me and have offered sacrifices to strange gods.

This sin is the race mixing that has been going on. Idolatry and race mixing always go hand in hand.

Was it not I who brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage? But they have angered Me and despised My counsels.
Pull out the hair of your head and hurl all evils upon them, for they have not obeyed My law -- they are a rebellious people.
How long shall I endure them, on whom I have bestowed such great benefits?

It's a good thing He made our father Jacob, Isaac and Abraham the promises He did.

[10] For their sake I have overthrown many kings: I struck down Pharaoh with his servants, and all his army.
[11] I have destroyed all nations before them, and scattered in the east the people of two provinces, Tyre and Sidon; I have slain all their enemies.
[12] "But speak to them and say, Thus says Yahweh:
[13] Surely it was I who brought you through the sea, and made safe highways for you where there was no road; I gave you Moses as leader and Aaron as priest;
[14] I provided light for you from a pillar of fire, and did great wonders among you. Yet you have forgotten Me, says Yahweh.
[15] "Thus says Yahweh Almighty: The quails were a sign to you; I gave you camps for your protection, and in them you complained.
[16] You have not exulted in My name at the destruction of your enemies, but to this day you still complain.
[17] Where are the benefits which I bestowed on you? When you were hungry and thirsty in the wilderness, did you not cry out to Me,
[18] saying, `Why hast thou led us into this wilderness to kill us? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in this wilderness.'
[19] I pitied your groanings and gave you manna for food; you ate the bread of angels.
[20] When you were thirsty, did I not cleave the rock so that waters flowed in abundance? Because of the heat I covered you with the leaves of trees.
[21] I divided fertile lands among you; I drove out the Canaanites, the Perizzites, and the Philistines before you. What more can I do for you? says Yahweh.
[22] Thus says Yahweh Almighty: When you were in the wilderness, at the bitter stream, thirsty and blaspheming My name,
[23] I did not send fire upon you for your blasphemies, but threw a tree into the water and made the stream sweet.
[24] "What shall I do to you, O Jacob? You would not obey Me, O Judah. I will turn to other nations and will give them My name, that they may keep My statutes.

This is not talking about other races. It's always about the race of Adam. Here He is referring to the ​ Genesis 10 nations from Adam, these would be the Assyrians, some of the Babylonians, the Medes and Persians, Alexander the Great, these were all white nations that Yahweh used to punish the children of Israel. All Israelites are Adamites, but not every Adamite is an Israelite. Yahweh chose Israel from the Adamic race to lead, to be His law giver, to be His administrative staff, the “city on the hill”. This is also prophesying future Israelites, Yahweh's elect in today's time that have His true Word and keep His laws.

[25] Because you have forsaken Me, I also will forsake you. When you beg mercy of Me, I will show you no mercy.
[26] When you call upon Me, I will not listen to you; for you have defiled your hands with blood, and your feet are swift to commit murder.
[27] It is not as though you had forsaken Me; you have forsaken yourselves, says Yahweh.
[28] "Thus says Yahweh Almighty: Have I not entreated you as a father entreats his sons or a mother her daughters or a nurse her children,
[29] that you should be My people and I should be your God, and that you should be My sons and I should be your father?
[30] I gathered you as a hen gathers her brood under her wings. But now, what shall I do to you? I will cast you out from My presence.

Matthew 23:37 ​ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

[31] When you offer oblations to Me, I will turn My face from you; for I have rejected your feast days, and new moons, and circumcisions of the flesh. (Isa 1:9-14)
[32] I sent to you My servants the prophets, but you have taken and slain them and torn their bodies in pieces; their blood I will require of you, says Yahweh.
[33] "Thus says Yahweh Almighty: Your house is desolate; I will drive you out as the wind drives straw;
[34] and your sons will have no children, because with you they have neglected My commandment and have done what is evil in My sight.

A race mixed tree cannot produce pure fruit.

[35] I will give your houses to a people that will come, who without having heard Me will believe. Those to whom I have shown no signs will do what I have commanded.

The scattered of Israel, as well as those who are aware of true Christian identity, heritage and exclusivity. Future Israelites.

[36] They have seen no prophets, yet will recall their former state.

Knowledge and Understanding of True Israel. This is us today.

[37] I call to witness the gratitude of the people that is to come, whose children rejoice with gladness; though they do not see Me with bodily eyes, yet with the spirit they will believe the things I have said.

1Peter 1:8 ​ Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

[38] "And now, father, look with pride and see the people coming from the east;



We came from Europe. Before that, Iraq. The 12 tribes regathered here in America, officially in 1776.

[39] to them I will give as leaders Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and Hosea and Amos and Micah and Joel and Obadiah and Jonah
[40] and Nahum and Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi, who is also called the messenger of Yahweh.



II Esdras 2:1 "Thus says Yahweh: I brought this people out of bondage, and I gave them commandments through My servants the prophets; but they would not listen to them, and made My counsels void.
The mother who bore them says to them, `Go, my children, because I am a widow and forsaken.
I brought you up with gladness; but with mourning and sorrow I have lost you, because you have sinned before Yahweh God and have done what is evil in My sight.
But now what can I do for you? For I am a widow and forsaken. Go, my children, and ask for mercy from Yahweh.'
I call upon you, father, as a witness in addition to the mother of the children, because they would not keep My covenant,
that you may bring confusion upon them and bring their mother to ruin, so that they may have no offspring.

Race mixing denies Yahweh true children.

Let them be scattered among the nations, let their names be blotted out from the earth, because they have despised My covenant.

We are not called the children of Israel anymore, we've been deceived into believing that the Jews are Israel. But as chapter 1 revealed, we are awakening to our true identity.

Hosea 1:9 ​ Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not My people, and I will not be your God.

Because of disobedience and race mixing, Yahweh divorced us. This punishment lasted 2520 years. ​

10 ​ Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered (white people cannot be numbered, Jews can); and it shall come to pass, that in the place (America) where it was said unto them, Ye are not My people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

11 ​ Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head (president), and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

Jezreel means 'Yahweh will sow'. America is the regathering place of the children of Israel.

Hosea 2:23 ​ And I will sow her unto Me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy (we don't deserve it); and I will say to them which were not My people (we were divorced from Him), Thou art My people; and they shall say, Thou art My God.

This happened when the 7x punishment (2520 years) ended in 1776, the birth of a white Christian nation under Yahweh. My have we fallen.

"Woe to you, Assyria, who conceal the unrighteous in your midst! O wicked nation, remember what I did to Sodom and Gomorrah,
whose land lies in lumps of pitch and heaps of ashes. So will I do to those who have not listened to Me, says Yahweh Almighty."
[10] Thus says Yahweh to Ezra: "Tell My people that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I was going to give to Israel.
[11] Moreover, I will take back to Myself their glory, and will give to these others the everlasting habitations (tabernacles), which I had prepared for Israel. ​

Yahweh is talking about our incorruptible bodies.

John 14:2 ​ In My Father's house are many mansions (abodes): if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 ​ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

'mansions', the Greek word is 'mone', meaning a staying (the act or the place) :- abode

It comes from 'meno', a primary verb; to stay (in a given place, state, relation or expectancy:- continue, endure, stand.

The “churches” teach that when you are “raptured” you will stay in a mansion in the sky somewhere.

The word does not mean a 'mansion' as a building or physical place. A 'mansion' is a noun. The Greek word is a verb. The KJV is notorious for changing nouns into verbs and vice versa.

The word 'place' is 'topos', it refers to a space, a locality, a position, condition, opportunity:- a territory.

This isn't talking about a neighborhood with stacked out condominiums in the clouds where all the Judeo-Christians go.

If we pass this test in this mortal life, by striving for allegiance with Christ, we will have a place, a relation, a position in the Kingdom. Our eternal abode.

[12] The tree of life shall give them fragrant perfume, and they shall neither toil nor become weary.

Another version has: ​ 'They shall have the tree of life for an ointment (richness) of sweet savour...'

The tree of life is Yahshua Christ. When we imitate His example we are rich with righteousness.

[13] Ask and you will receive; pray that your days may be few, that they may be shortened. The kingdom is already prepared for you; watch!

Mark 13:20 ​ And except that the Prince had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened the days.

The end is upon us and only an elect few understand who true Israel is.

Matthew 24:42 ​ Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Prince doth come.

43 ​ But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. ​

Pray for knowledge and understanding.

[14] Call, O call heaven and earth to witness, for I left out evil and created good, because I live, says Yahweh.
[15] "Mother, embrace your sons; bring them up with gladness, as does the dove; establish their feet, because I have chosen you, says Yahweh.

Built on the foundation of Yahweh's Ways.

[16] And I will raise up the dead from their places, and will bring them out from their tombs, because I recognize My name in them. ​

True Israel calls upon the true name of God, Yahweh. The “churches” today call Him 'LORD'. This is a title and it refers to the god of the Jews, Baal. Satan.

Hosea 2:16 ​ And it shall be at that day, saith Yahweh, that thou shalt call Me Ishi (husband); and shalt call Me no more Baali.

[17] Do not fear, mother of sons, for I have chosen you, says Yahweh.
[18] I will send you help, My servants Isaiah and Jeremiah. According to their counsel I have consecrated and prepared for you twelve trees loaded with various fruits,

These are the 12 tribes of Jacob. The Holy seed. The people of the whole Bible. Us.

[19] and the same number (12) of springs flowing with milk and honey, and seven mighty mountains on which roses and lilies grow; by these I will fill your children with joy.

The children are of the twelve tribes. The white nations of the world. The mountains are the 7 empires, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medes/Persians, Macedonian, Rome, Napolian,

[20] Guard the rights of the widow, secure justice for the fatherless, give to the needy, defend the orphan, clothe the naked,
[21] care for the injured and the weak, do not ridicule a lame man, protect the maimed, and let the blind man have a vision of My splendor.
[22] Protect the old and the young within your walls;
[23] When you find any who are dead, commit them to the grave and mark it, and I will give you the first place in My resurrection.

Matthew 25:40 ​ And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me.

[24] Pause and be quiet, My people, because your rest will come.
[25] Good nurse, nourish your sons, and strengthen their feet.
[26] Not one of the servants whom I have given you will perish, for I will require them from among your number.
[27] Do not be anxious, for when the day of tribulation and anguish comes, others shall weep and be sorrowful, but you shall rejoice and have abundance.
[28] The nations shall envy you but they shall not be able to do anything against you, says Yahweh.
[29] My hands will cover you, that your sons may not see Gehenna (hell, the grave).
[30] Rejoice, O mother, with your sons, because I will deliver you, says Yahweh.
[31] Remember your sons that sleep, because I will bring them out of the hiding places of the earth, and will show mercy to them; for I am merciful, says Yahweh Almighty.
[32] Embrace your children until I come, and proclaim mercy to them; because My springs run over, and My grace (favor) will not fail."
[33] I, Ezra, received a command from Yahweh on Mount Horeb to go to Israel (the people). When I came to them they rejected Me and refused Yahweh's commandment.
[34] Therefore I say to you, O nations that hear and understand, "Await your shepherd; He will give you everlasting rest, because He who will come at the end of the age is close at hand.

Ezekiel 3:27 ​ But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Yahweh GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.

Matthew 11:15 ​ He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

[35] Be ready for the rewards of the kingdom, because the eternal light will shine upon you for evermore.
[36] Flee from the shadow of this age, receive the joy of your glory; I publicly call on my Savior to witness.
[37] Receive what Yahweh has entrusted to you and be joyful, giving thanks to Him who has called you to heavenly kingdoms.

Revelation 19:7 ​ Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready.

[38] Rise and stand, and see at the feast of Yahweh the number of those who have been sealed. ​

Revelation 7:1 ​ And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

2 ​ And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

3 ​ Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

Not the “believers”, but the servants, the doers, those that 'practice' His Ways.

4 ​ And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Verses go on to name the tribes of Jacob/Israel. No one else is called or sealed. No other races, not the “church”, not those who “just believe”. If you are anglo-saxon, REJOICE!

[39] Those who have departed from the shadow of this age have received glorious garments from Yahweh.
[40] Take again your full number, O Zion, and conclude the list of your people who are clothed in white, who have fulfilled the law of Yahweh.

Revelation 19:7 ​ Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready.

8 ​ And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9 ​ And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

[41] The number of your children, whom you desired, is full; beseech Yahweh's power that your people, who have been called from the beginning, may be made holy."
[42] I, Ezra, saw on Mount Zion a great multitude, which I could not number, and they all were praising Yahweh with songs.

Revelation 7:9 ​ After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Revelation 14:1 ​ And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with Him an hundred forty and four thousand, having His Father's name (the seal) written in their foreheads.

2 ​ And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

3 ​ And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

4 ​ These are they which were not defiled with women (race mixed); for they are virgins (pure Israelite). These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

5 ​ And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

[43] In their midst was a young man of great stature, taller than any of the others, and on the head of each of them He placed a crown, but He was more exalted than they. And I was held spellbound.
[44] Then I asked an angel, "Who are these, my master?"
[45] He answered and said to me, "These are they who have put off mortal clothing and have put on the immortal, and they have confessed the name of God; now they are being crowned, and receive palms."

God is not His name. Lord is not His name. Yahweh is His name. His name has been stolen from us by our mortal enemies (Gen 3:15).

[46] Then I said to the angel, "Who is that young man who places crowns on them and puts palms in their hands?"
[47] He answered and said to me, "He is the Son of God, whom they confessed in the world." So I began to praise those who had stood valiantly for the name of Yahweh.
[48] Then the angel said to me, "Go, tell my people how great and many are the wonders of Yahweh God which you have seen."



II Esdras 3:1 ​ In the thirtieth year after the destruction of our city, I Salathiel, who am also called Ezra, was in Babylon. I was troubled as I lay on my bed, and my thoughts welled up in my heart,
because I saw the desolation of Zion and the wealth of those who lived in Babylon.
My spirit was greatly agitated, and I began to speak anxious words to the Most High, and said,
"O sovereign Yahweh, didst thou not speak at the beginning when thou didst form the earth -- and that without help -- and didst command the dust
and it gave thee Adam, a lifeless body? (without a soul) Yet he was the workmanship of thy hands, and thou didst breathe into him the breath of life, and he was made alive in thy presence.

Genesis 1:26 ​ And God said, Let us make man (the species) in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 ​ So God created man (the species) in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

Just like the animal kingdom, Yahweh created “male and female” first, the species.

Adam in Genesis 1:26-27, in the Hebrew is plural. The species. Male and female.

Genesis 2:7 ​ And Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8 ​ And Yahweh God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom He had formed.

Yahweh 'created' the species man. After the 7th day, Yahweh 'formed' from the 'creation' of the species of man, the man Adam by personally breathing the “breath of life” into him. In other words, an upgrade. Adam, the man, is now the first Son of God. He now has the Spirit, the DNA of the family of Yahweh. Adam in Hebrew means: fair, ruddy, able to blush. This describes the white man. Only the race of Adam contains the Spirit (DNA) of Yahweh.

And thou didst lead him into the garden which thy right hand had planted before the earth appeared.
And thou didst lay upon him one commandment of thine; but he transgressed it, and immediately thou didst appoint death for him and for his descendants. From him there sprang nations and tribes, peoples and clans without number.
And every nation walked after its own will and did ungodly things before thee and scorned thee, and thou didst not hinder them.
But again, in its time thou didst bring the flood upon the inhabitants of the world and destroy them.
[10] And the same fate befell them: as death came upon Adam, so the flood upon them.

The descendants of Adam is the context.
[11] But thou didst leave one of them, Noah with his household, and all the righteous who have descended from him.
[12] "When those who dwelt on earth began to multiply, they produced children and peoples and many nations, and again they began to be more ungodly than were their ancestors.
[13] And when they were committing iniquity before thee, thou didst choose for thyself one of them, whose name was Abraham;
[14] and thou didst love him, and to him only didst thou reveal the end of the times, secretly by night.
[15] Thou didst make with him an everlasting covenant, and promise him that thou wouldst never forsake his descendants; and thou gavest to him Isaac, and to Isaac thou gavest Jacob and Esau.
[16] And thou didst set apart Jacob for thyself, but Esau thou didst reject; and Jacob became a great multitude.

Yahweh chose Jacob's seed. No one else. Not the other races, not some “church”, and not the Jews because they come from Cain- Canaanites and Esau- Edomites.

Genesis 27:41 ​ And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.

Malachi 1:3 ​ And I (Yahweh) hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

Romans 9:13 ​ As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

Romans 9:21 ​ Hath not the potter (Yahweh) power over the clay, of the same lump (Isaac) to make one vessel unto honour (Jacob, true Israel, the white race), and another unto dishonour (Esau, the Jews)?

[17] And when thou didst lead his descendants out of Egypt, thou didst bring them to Mount Sinai.
[18] Thou didst bend down the heavens and shake the earth, and move the world, and make the depths to tremble, and trouble the times.
[19] And thy glory passed through the four gates of fire and earthquake and wind and ice, to give the law to the descendants of Jacob, and thy commandment to the posterity of Israel.

Exodus 19:16 ​ And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.

17 ​ And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

18 ​ And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because Yahweh descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

19 ​ And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.

Exodus 20:18 ​ And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

19 ​ And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

Exodus 24:17 ​ And the sight of the glory of Yahweh was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

[20] "Yet thou didst not take away from them their evil heart, so that thy law might bring forth fruit in them.
[21] For the first Adam, burdened with an evil heart, transgressed and was overcome, as were also all who were descended from him.

Luke 19:9 ​ And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

10 ​ For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

'Lost' means, cast off, put away in punishment. Yahweh divorced Israel. Read on in Luke.

Matthew 15:24 ​ But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Christ did not come for everyone in the world. He came for His kinsmen, His race.

[22] Thus the disease became permanent; the law was in the people's heart along with the evil root, but what was good departed, and the evil remained.

Jeremiah 31:33 ​ But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith Yahweh, I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people.

Proverbs 20:27 ​ The spirit of man is the candle of Yahweh, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

[23] So the times passed and the years were completed, and thou didst raise up for thyself a servant, named David.
[24] And thou didst command him to build a city for thy name, and in it to offer thee oblations from what is thine.
[25] This was done for many years; but the inhabitants of the city transgressed,
[26] in everything doing as Adam and all his descendants had done, for they also had the evil heart.

Adamites are those descendants from Adam to Isaac. Israelites are those descendants from Jacob to the white nations of the world today. Both are from Adam. Israelites are Yahweh's 'administration'.

But because of our wicked (disobedient) heart we are punished.

[27] So thou didst deliver the city into the hands of thy enemies.
[28] "Then I said in my heart, Are the deeds of those who inhabit Babylon any better? Is that why she has gained dominion over Zion?



When we act like the ungodly we are just like the ungodly.

[29] For when I came here I saw ungodly deeds without number, and my soul has seen many sinners during these thirty years. And my heart failed me,

Ezra 9:2 ​ For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands (race mixed): yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.

[30] for I have seen how thou dost endure those who sin, and hast spared those who act wickedly, and hast destroyed thy people, and hast preserved thy enemies,
[31] and hast not shown to any one how thy way may be comprehended. Are the deeds of Babylon better than those of Zion?
[32] Or has another nation known thee besides Israel? Or what tribes have so believed thy covenants as these tribes of Jacob?
[33] Yet their reward has not appeared and their labor has borne no fruit. For I have traveled widely among the nations and have seen that they abound in wealth, though they are unmindful of thy commandments.
[34] Now therefore weigh in a balance our iniquities and those of the inhabitants of the world; and so it will be found which way the turn of the scale will incline.
[35] When have the inhabitants of the earth not sinned in thy sight? Or what nation has kept thy commandments so well?
[36] Thou mayest indeed find individual men who have kept thy commandments, but nations thou wilt not find."



II Esdras 4:1 ​ Then the angel that had been sent to me, whose name was Uriel, answered
and said to me, "Your understanding has utterly failed regarding this world, and do you think you can comprehend the way of the Most High?"
Then I said, "Yes, my master." And he replied to me, "I have been sent to show you three ways, and to put before you three problems.
If you can solve one of them for me, I also will show you the way you desire to see, and will teach you why the heart is evil."
I said, "Speak on, my master." And he said to me, "Go, weigh for me the weight of fire, or measure for me a measure of wind, or call back for me the day that is past."
I answered and said, "Who of those that have been born can do this, that you ask me concerning these things?"
And he said to me, "If I had asked you, `How many dwellings are in the heart of the sea, or how many streams are at the source of the deep, or how many streams are above the firmament, or which are the exits of hell, or which are the entrances of paradise?'
Perhaps you would have said to me, `I never went down into the deep, nor as yet into hell, neither did I ever ascend into heaven.'
But now I have asked you only about fire and wind and the day, things through which you have passed and without which you cannot exist, and you have given me no answer about them!"
[10] And he said to me, "You cannot understand the things with which you have grown up;
[11] how then can your mind comprehend the way of the Most High? And how can one who is already worn out by the corrupt world understand incorruption?" When I heard this, I fell on my face

How can one understand the problem if he grew up in the problem. If sin is the society you were raised in, how would you know any other way? The “church” today is the result of the true Word that has been twisted by the Jews for 2500 years into the doctrine now taught, which is not in scripture. Jesus is not a Jew, the “church” does not replace Israel, the “rapture” is made up, no such thing as “personal salvation”, and pretty much everything else that the “churches” teach is backwards. But people believe it because they were brought up in these lies and deceptions.

[12] and said to him, "It would be better for us not to be here than to come here and live in ungodliness, and to suffer and not understand why."

Then what is the point?

[13] He answered me and said, "I went into a forest of trees of the plain, and they made a plan
[14] and said, `Come, let us go and make war against the sea, that it may recede before us, and that we may make for ourselves more forests.'
[15] And in like manner the waves of the sea also made a plan and said, `Come, let us go up and subdue the forest of the plain so that there also we may gain more territory for ourselves.'
[16] But the plan of the forest was in vain, for the fire came and consumed it;
[17] likewise also the plan of the waves of the sea, for the sand stood firm and stopped them.
[18] If now you were a judge between them, which would you undertake to justify, and which to condemn?"
[19] I answered and said, "Each has made a foolish plan, for the land is assigned to the forest, and to the sea is assigned a place to carry its waves."
[20] He answered me and said, "You have judged rightly, but why have you not judged so in your own case?
[21] For as the land is assigned to the forest and the sea to its waves, so also those who dwell upon earth can understand only what is on the earth, and he who is above the heavens can understand what is above the height of the heavens."

This is all the other races can understand. They are born of the earth, so they only can understand earthly things.

We, Yahweh's people are born from above, we have His Spirit (DNA), we can understand earthly and spiritually.

[22] Then I answered and said, "I beseech you, my master, why have I been endowed with the power of understanding?
[23] For I did not wish to inquire about the ways above, but about those things which we daily experience: why Israel has been given over to the nations as a reproach; why the people whom you loved has been given over to godless tribes, and the law of our fathers has been made of no effect and the written covenants no longer exist;

Because we disobey.

[24] and why we pass from the world like locusts, and our life is like a mist, and we are not worthy to obtain mercy.
[25] But what will He do for His name, by which we are called? It is about these things that I have asked."
[26] He answered me and said, "If you are alive, you will see, and if you live long, you will often marvel, because the age is hastening swiftly to its end.
[27] For it will not be able to bring the things that have been promised to the righteous in their appointed times, because this age is full of sadness and infirmities.
[28] For the evil about which you ask me has been sown, but the harvest of it has not yet come.
[29] If therefore that which has been sown is not reaped, and if the place where the evil has been sown does not pass away, the field where the good has been sown will not come.
[30] For a grain of evil seed was sown in Adam's heart from the beginning, and how much ungodliness it has produced until now, and will produce until the time of threshing comes!
[31] Consider now for yourself how much fruit of ungodliness a grain of evil seed has produced.
[32] When heads of grain without number are sown, how great a threshing floor they will fill!"

The millions of people living, practicing and continuing unrighteousness.

[33] Then I answered and said, "How long and when will these things be? Why are our years few and evil?"
[34] He answered me and said, "You do not hasten faster than the Most High, for your haste is for yourself, but the Highest hastens on behalf of many.

Don't hasten Yahweh, hasten yourselves.

[35] Did not the souls of the righteous in their chambers (graves) ask about these matters, saying, `How long are we to remain here? And when will come the harvest of our reward?

Revelation 6:10 ​ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Yahweh, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

11 ​ And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

[36] And Jeremiel the archangel answered them and said, `When the number of those like yourselves is completed; for He has weighed the age in the balance,
[37] and measured the times by measure, and numbered the times by number; and He will not move or arouse them until that measure is fulfilled.'"
[38] Then I answered and said, "O sovereign Yahweh, but all of us also are full of ungodliness.
[39] And it is perhaps on account of us that the time of threshing is delayed for the righteous -- on account of the sins of those who dwell on earth."
[40] He answered me and said, "Go and ask a woman who is with child if, when her nine months have been completed, her womb can keep the child within her any longer."
[41] And I said, "No, master, it cannot." And he said to me, "In Hades the chambers of the souls are like the womb.
[42] For just as a woman who is in travail makes haste to escape the pangs of birth, so also do these places hasten to give back those things that were committed to them from the beginning.
[43] Then the things that you desire to see will be disclosed to you."
[44] I answered and said, "If I have found favor in your sight, and if it is possible, and if I am worthy,
[45] show me this also: whether more time is to come than has passed, or whether for us the greater part has gone by.
[46] For I know what has gone by, but I do not know what is to come."
[47] And he said to me, "Stand at my right side, and I will show you the interpretation of a parable."
[48] So I stood and looked, and behold, a flaming furnace passed by before me, and when the flame had gone by I looked, and behold, the smoke remained.
[49] And after this a cloud full of water passed before me and poured down a heavy and violent rain, and when the rainstorm had passed, drops remained in the cloud.
[50] And he said to me, "Consider it for yourself; for as the rain is more than the drops, and the fire is greater than the smoke, so the quantity that passed was far greater; but drops and smoke remained."

[51] Then I prayed and said, "Do you think that I shall live until those days? Or who will be alive in those days?"
[52] He answered me and said, "Concerning the signs about which you ask me, I can tell you in part; but I was not sent to tell you concerning your life, for I do not know.



II Esdras 5:1 (conversation continues) "Now concerning the signs: behold, the days are coming when those who dwell on earth shall be seized with great terror, and the way of truth shall be hidden, and the land shall be barren of faith (allegiance).

And unrighteousness shall be increased beyond what you yourself see, and beyond what you heard of formerly.

Amos 8:11 ​ Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yahweh:

There are more “churches” than ever in history, and they are all teaching the lie that has been believed for centuries. Repeating it to generation after generation. Who would know the difference by now?

Matthew 24:24 ​ For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

2Timothy 3:1 ​ This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 ​ For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 ​ Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 ​ Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 ​ Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 ​ For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 ​ Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Ever learning all the false doctrine of the “churches”, yet never knowing truth.

And the land which you now see ruling shall be waste and untrodden, and men shall see it desolate.
But if the Most High grants that you live, you shall see it thrown into confusion after the third period; and the sun shall suddenly shine forth at night,
and the moon during the day.

Revelation 8:10 ​ And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

11 ​ And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

This describes Justinian, the eleventh emperor of the eastern empire, during whose reign the Vandal King Gelimer was defeated in Carthage and the Gothic kings Witiges and Totila were defeated in Italy. During the wars of this period, much of Italy and Sicily were laid bare, the Vandal kingdom of North Africa was wasted and many of the Vandal soldiers were forcibly relocated to the east in the service of the conquering Byzantines. The city of Rome was practically deserted for an extended period of time.

This star which fell from heaven made a third of the waters bitter because Justinian would prevail over the Germanic peoples in Italy and Africa, and this in turn would also pave the way for Catholicism in Western Europe. Therefore, it is evidenced that this passage in the Revelation also refers to Justinian, just as the little horn of Daniel Chapter 7 does.

The Hun invasion- (were paid an enormous tribute bribe to spare Rome, 432 AD)

-In 451 AD Roman and Visigoth forces against the Huns in probably most terrific battle in history

(Disciple Arron) – Wormwood-flowing water (the word). The bitterness was the scribes perverting the word.

Blood shall drip from wood,and the stone shall utter its voice;the peoples shall be troubled,and the stars shall fall.
And one shall reign whom those who dwell on earth do not expect, and the birds shall fly away together;
and the sea of Sodom shall cast up fish; and one whom the many do not know shall make His voice heard by night, and all shall hear His voice.

The return of our King.

There shall be chaos also in many places, and fire shall often break out, and the wild beasts shall roam beyond their habitations, and menstruous women shall bring forth monsters (race mixed).
And salt waters shall be found in the sweet, and all friends shall conquer one another; then shall reason hide itself, and wisdom (understanding) shall withdraw into its chamber,

The “churches” do not follow scripture. They follow the doctrine of Judaism. The Jews.

[10] and it shall be sought by many but shall not be found, and unrighteousness and unrestraint shall increase on earth.
[11] And one country shall ask its neighbor, `Has righteousness, or any one who does right, passed through you?' And it will answer, `No.'
[12] And at that time men shall hope but not obtain; they shall labor but their ways shall not prosper.

Keep hoping Mr. Hope and Change. But for me and my house, we will trust in Yahweh.

[13] These are the signs which I am permitted to tell you, and if you pray again, and weep as you do now, and fast for seven days, you shall hear yet greater things than these."
[14] Then I awoke, and my body shuddered violently, and my soul was so troubled that it fainted.
[15] But the angel who had come and talked with me held me and strengthened me and set me on my feet.
[16] Now on the second night Phaltiel, a chief of the people, came to me and said, "Where have you been? And why is your face sad?
[17] Or do you not know that Israel has been entrusted to you in the land of their exile?
[18] Rise therefore and eat some bread, so that you may not forsake us, like a shepherd who leaves his flock in the power of cruel wolves."
[19] Then I said to him, "Depart from me and do not come near me for seven days, and then you may come to me." He heard what I said and left me.
[20] So I fasted seven days, mourning and weeping, as Uriel the angel had commanded me.
[21] And after seven days the thoughts of my heart were very grievous to me again.
[22] Then my soul recovered the spirit of understanding, and I began once more to speak words in the presence of the Most High.
[23] And I said, "O sovereign Yahweh, from every forest of the earth and from all its trees thou hast chosen one vine,
[24] and from all the lands of the world thou hast chosen for thyself one region, and from all the flowers of the world thou hast chosen for thyself one lily,
[25] and from all the depths of the sea thou hast filled for thyself one river, and from all the cities that have been built thou hast consecrated Zion for thyself,
[26] and from all the birds that have been created thou hast named for thyself one dove, and from all the flocks that have been made thou hast provided for thyself one sheep,
[27] and from all the multitude of peoples thou hast gotten for thyself one people; and to this people, whom thou hast loved, thou hast given the law which is approved by all.

All of these people, the children of Israel swore on more than one occasion to keep and follow.

The “churches” teach that God loves everybody. We can all become His children by “just believing”.

Will you believe your “church”, or the words of Yahweh?

Exodus 19:5 ​ Now therefore, if ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people: for all the earth is Mine:

Deuteronomy 7:6 ​ For thou art an holy (set apart) people unto Yahweh thy God: Yahweh thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

Deuteronomy 10:15 ​ Only Yahweh had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and He chose their seed after them, you above all people, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 14:2 ​ For thou art an holy people unto Yahweh thy God, and Yahweh hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

[28] And now, O Yahweh, why hast thou given over the one to the many, and dishonored the one root beyond the others, and scattered thine only one among the many?
[29] And those who opposed thy promises have trodden down those who believed thy covenants.
[30] If thou dost really hate thy people, they should be punished at thy own hands."

Ezra did not understand that Yahweh used the other nations to punish His people.
[31] When I had spoken these words, the angel who had come to me on a previous night was sent to me,
[32] and he said to me, "Listen to me, and I will instruct you; pay attention to me, and I will tell you more."
[33] And I said, "Speak, my master." And he said to me, "Are you greatly disturbed in mind over Israel? Or do you love him (Israel) more than his Maker does?"
[34] And I said, "No, my master, but because of my grief I have spoken; for every hour I suffer agonies of heart, while I strive to understand the way of the Most High and to search out part of his judgment." Ezra loves his people, but still does not understand Yahweh's judgment.
[35] And he said to me, "You cannot (understand)." And I said, "Why not, my master? Why then was I born? Or why did not my mother's womb become my grave, that I might not see the travail of Jacob and the exhaustion of the people of Israel?"
[36] He said to me, "Count up for me those who have not yet come, and gather for me the scattered raindrops, and make the withered flowers bloom again for me;
[37] open for me the closed chambers, and bring forth for me the winds shut up in them, or show me the picture of a voice; and then I will explain to you the travail that you ask to understand."
[38] And I said, "O sovereign Yahweh, who is able to know these things except he whose dwelling is not with men?
[39] As for me, I am without wisdom (understanding), and how can I speak concerning the things which thou hast asked me?"
[40] He said to me, "Just as you cannot do one of the things that were mentioned, so you cannot discover My judgment, or the goal of the love that I have promised My people."
[41] And I said, "Yet behold, O Yahweh, thou dost have charge of those who are alive at the end, but what will those do who were before us, or we, or those who come after us?"
[42] He said to me, "I shall liken My judgment to a circle; just as for those who are last there is no slowness, so for those who are first there is no haste."

Matthew 19:28 ​ And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of His glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 ​ And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

30 ​ But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

[43] Then I answered and said, "Couldst thou not have created at one time those who have been and those who are and those who will be, that thou mightest show thy judgment the sooner?"

Couldn't you just get it all over with now?

[44] He replied to me and said, "The creation cannot make more haste than the Creator, neither can the world hold at one time those who have been created in it."
[45] And I said, "How hast thou said to thy servant that thou wilt certainly give life at one time to thy creation? If therefore all creatures will live at one time and the creation will sustain them, it might even now be able to support all of them present at one time."
[46] He said to me, "Ask a woman's womb, and say to it, `If you bear ten children, why one after another?' Request it therefore to produce ten at one time."
[47] I said, "Of course it cannot, but only each in its own time."
[48] He said to me, "Even so have I given the womb of the earth to those who from time to time are sown in it.
[49] For as an infant does not bring forth, and a woman who has become old does not bring forth any longer, so have I organized the world which I created."
[50] Then I inquired and said, "Since thou hast now given me the opportunity, let me speak before thee. Is our mother, of whom thou hast told me, still young? Or is she now approaching old age?"
[51] He replied to me, "Ask a woman who bears children, and she will tell you.
[52] Say to her, "Why are those whom you have borne recently not like those whom you bore before, but smaller in stature?'
[53] And she herself will answer you, `Those born in the strength of youth are different from those born during the time of old age, when the womb is failing.'
[54] Therefore you also should consider that you and your contemporaries are smaller in stature than those who were before you,
[55] and those who come after you will be smaller than you, as born of a creation which already is aging and passing the strength of youth."
[56] And I said, "O Yahweh, I beseech thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, show thy servant through whom thou dost visit thy creation."



The closer we get to the end of the age, those born at the end will not be of as great a stature as those before us. The stature of our race is failing, every race mixed child is one less child for Yahweh. Look at how our air, water and food has been tampered with. Everyone is on medication. We are now designing our own children. Nobody knows and proclaims the truth, save the remnant.



Esau is the end of this age, and Jacob is the beginning of the age that follows

II Esdras 6:1 ​ And he said to me, "At the beginning of the circle of the earth, before the portals of the world were in place, and before the assembled winds blew,
and before the rumblings of thunder sounded, and before the flashes of lightning shone, and before the foundations of paradise were laid,
and before the beautiful flowers were seen, and before the powers of movement were established, and before the innumerable hosts of angels were gathered together,
and before the heights of the air were lifted up, and before the measures of the firmaments were named, and before the footstool of Zion was established,
and before the present years were reckoned; and before the imaginations of those who now sin were estranged, and before those who stored up treasures of faith were sealed --
then I planned these things, and they were made through Me and not through another, just as the end shall come through Me and not through another."
And I answered and said, "What will be the dividing of the times? Or when will be the end of the first age and the beginning of the age that follows?"
He said to me, "From Abraham to Isaac, because from him were born Jacob and Esau, for Jacob's hand held Esau's heel from the beginning.
For Esau is the end of this age, and Jacob is the beginning of the age that follows.

The book of Obadiah describes the end of Esau and his children the Edomite Jews.

Habakkuk 2:8 ​ Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

9 ​ Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!

10 ​ Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.

[10] For the beginning of a man is his hand, and the end of a man is his heel; between the heel and the hand seek for nothing else, Ezra!"

The first age is the age of Esau, the end of Esau (heel) is the beginning of the next age, Jacob (hand).

[11] I answered and said, "O sovereign Yahweh, if I have found favor in thy sight,
[12] show thy servant the end of thy signs which thou didst show me in part on a previous night."
[13] He answered and said to me, "Rise to your feet and you will hear a full, resounding voice.
[14] And if the place where you are standing is greatly shaken
[15] while the voice is speaking, do not be terrified; because the word concerns the end, and the foundations of the earth will understand
[16] that the speech concerns them. They will tremble and be shaken, for they know that their end must be changed."
[17] When I heard this, I rose to my feet and listened, and behold, a voice was speaking, and its sound was like the sound of many waters.
[18] And it said, "Behold, the days are coming, and it shall be that when I draw near to visit the inhabitants of the earth,
[19] and when I require from the doers of iniquity the penalty of their iniquity, and when the humiliation of Zion is complete,
[20] and when the seal is placed upon the age which is about to pass away, then I will show these signs: the books shall be opened before the firmament, and all shall see it together.
[21] Infants a year old shall speak with their voices, and women with child shall give birth to premature children at three and four months, and these shall live and dance.

Wow!

[22] Sown places shall suddenly appear unsown, and full storehouses shall suddenly be found to be empty;
[23] and the trumpet shall sound aloud, and when all hear it, they shall suddenly be terrified.
[24] At that time friends shall make war on friends like enemies, and the earth and those who inhabit it shall be terrified, and the springs of the fountains shall stand still, so that for three hours they shall not flow.
[25] "And it shall be that whoever remains after all that I have foretold to you shall himself be saved and shall see My salvation and the end of My world.
[26] And they shall see the men who were taken up, who from their birth have not tasted death; and the heart of the earth's inhabitants shall be changed and converted to a different spirit.
[27] For evil shall be blotted out, and deceit shall be quenched;
[28] faithfulness shall flourish, and corruption shall be overcome, and the truth, which has been so long without fruit, shall be revealed."

If the “churches” were teaching the truth, then we wouldn't be in the last stage. But we are. In the Revelation, we are in the 7th and last “church” age. And have been since the 18oo's.

If the “churches” were teaching the truth, then we wouldn't be in the last stage. But we are. In the Revelation, we are in the 7th and last “church” age. And have been since the 18oo's.

[29] While he spoke to me, behold, little by little the place where I was standing began to rock to and fro.
[30] And he said to me, "I have come to show you these things this night.
[31] If therefore you will pray again and fast again for seven days, I will again declare to you greater things than these,
[32] because your voice has surely been heard before the Most High; for the Mighty One has seen your uprightness and has also observed the purity which you have maintained from your youth.
[33] Therefore He sent me to show you all these things, and to say to you: `Believe and do not be afraid!
[34] Do not be quick to think vain thoughts concerning the former times, lest you be hasty concerning the last times.'"
[35] Now after this I wept again and fasted seven days as before, in order to complete the three weeks as I had been told.
[36] And on the eighth night my heart was troubled within me again, and I began to speak in the presence of the Most High.
[37] For my spirit was greatly aroused, and my soul was in distress.
[38] I said, "O Yahweh, thou didst speak at the beginning of creation, and didst say on the first day, `Let heaven and earth be made,' and thy word accomplished the work.
[39] And then the Spirit was hovering, and darkness and silence embraced everything; the sound of man's voice was not yet there.
[40] Then thou didst command that a ray of light be brought forth from thy treasuries, so that thy works might then appear.
[41] "Again, on the second day, thou didst create the spirit of the firmament, and didst command him to divide and separate the waters, that one part might move upward and the other part remain beneath.
[42] "On the third day thou didst command the waters to be gathered together in the seventh part of the earth; six parts thou didst dry up and keep so that some of them might be planted and cultivated and be of service before thee.

There are six continents. They didn't begin all from one as science teaches.

[43] For thy word went forth, and at once the work was done.
[44] For immediately fruit came forth in endless abundance and of varied appeal to the taste; and flowers of inimitable color; and odors of inexpressible fragrance. These were made on the third day.
[45] "On the fourth day thou didst command the brightness of the sun, the light of the moon, and the arrangement of the stars to come into being;
[46] and thou didst command them to serve man, who was about to be formed.
[47] "On the fifth day thou didst command the seventh part, where the water had been gathered together, to bring forth living creatures, birds, and fishes; and so it was done.
[48] The dumb and lifeless water produced living creatures, as it was commanded, that therefore the nations might declare thy wondrous works.
[49] "Then thou didst keep in existence two living creatures; the name of one thou didst call Behemoth and the name of the other Leviathan.
[50] And thou didst separate one from the other, for the seventh part where the water had been gathered together could not hold them both.
[51] And thou didst give Behemoth one of the parts which had been dried up on the third day, to live in it, where there are a thousand mountains;
[52] but to Leviathan thou didst give the seventh part, the watery part; and thou hast kept them to be eaten by whom thou wilt, and when thou wilt.
[53] "On the sixth day thou didst command the earth to bring forth before thee cattle, beasts, and creeping things;
[54] and over these thou didst place Adam, as ruler over all the works which thou hadst made; and from him we have all come, (all the races?) (NO) the people whom thou hast chosen.
[55] "All this I have spoken before thee, O Yahweh, because thou hast said that it was for us that thou didst create this world.
[56] As for the other nations which have descended from Adam, (Gen 10 nations) thou hast said that they are nothing, and that they are like spittle, and thou hast compared their abundance to a drop from a bucket.
[57] And now, O Yahweh, behold, these nations, which are reputed as nothing, domineer over us and devour us.
[58] But we thy people, whom thou hast called thy first-born, only begotten, zealous for thee, and most dear, have been given into their hands.
[59] If the world has indeed been created for us, why do we not possess our world as an inheritance? How long will this be so?"

Ezra understands how far we have fallen. But not why we have to wait for our inheritance.



Insights regarding death, judgment and eternity

II Esdras 7:1 ​ When I had finished speaking these words, the angel who had been sent to me on the former nights was sent to me again,
and he said to me, "Rise, Ezra, and listen to the words that I have come to speak to you."
I said, "Speak, my master." And he said to me, "There is a sea set in a wide expanse so that it is broad and vast,
but it has an entrance set in a narrow place, so that it is like a river.
If any one, then, wishes to reach the sea, to look at it or to navigate it, how can he come to the broad part unless he passes through the narrow part?
Another example: There is a city built and set on a plain, and it is full of all good things;
but the entrance to it is narrow and set in a precipitous place, so that there is fire on the right hand and deep water on the left;
and there is only one path lying between them, that is, between the fire and the water, so that only one man can walk upon that path.
If now that city is given to a man for an inheritance, how will the heir receive his inheritance unless he passes through the danger set before him?"
[10] I said, "He cannot, master." And he said to me, "So also is Israel's portion.
[11] For I made the world for their sake, and when Adam transgressed My statutes, what had been made was judged.
[12] And so the entrances of this world were made narrow and sorrowful and toilsome; they are few and evil, full of dangers and involved in great hardships.

When Adam was planted in the world, he was sent here to be superintendent and clean up what Satan and his angels corrupted, and re-establish the kingdom. He had his inheritance, but by disobedience he went from the great sea (city) through the narrow entrance into this evil world.

The narrow entrance from good to evil would be easy and pleasurable.

The narrow entrance from evil to good would be sorrowful and toilsome, full of dangers and involved in great hardships.
[13] But the entrances of the greater world are broad and safe, and really yield the fruit of immortality.
[14] Therefore unless the living pass through the difficult and vain experiences, they can never receive those things that have been reserved for them.

There is no “rapture”. We will be tried.

[15] But now why are you disturbed, seeing that you are to perish? And why are you moved, seeing that you are mortal?
[16] And why have you not considered in your mind what is to come, rather than what is now present?"
[17] Then I answered and said, "O sovereign Yahweh, behold, thou hast ordained in thy law that the righteous shall inherit these things, but that the ungodly shall perish.
[18] The righteous therefore can endure difficult circumstances while hoping for easier ones; but those who have done wickedly have suffered the difficult circumstances and will not see the easier ones."
[19] And He said to me, "You are not a better judge than God, or wiser than the Most High!
[20] Let many perish who are now living, rather than that the law of God which is set before them be disregarded!
[21] For God strictly commanded those who came into the world, when they came, what they should do to live, and what they should observe to avoid punishment.

The “churches' teach that the law was “done away with”.
[22] Nevertheless they were not obedient, and spoke against Him; they devised for themselves vain thoughts, (“just believe”
[23] and proposed to themselves wicked frauds; (the rapture)(self declaration of being “saved”
they even declared that the Most High does not exist, and they ignored His ways!
[24] They scorned His law, (they teach it has been “done away with” and denied His covenants; (teaching that they are for everybody) they have been unfaithful to His statutes, and have not performed His works. (Because all they have to do is “just believe”
[25] "Therefore, Ezra, empty things are for the empty, and full things are for the full.

Exactly where we are today.

[26] For behold, the time will come, when the signs which I have foretold to you will come to pass, that the city (people) which now is not seen shall appear, and the land which now is hidden shall be disclosed.
[27] And every one who has been delivered from the evils that I have foretold shall see My wonders.
[28] For My son the Messiah shall be revealed with those who are with Him, and those who remain shall rejoice four hundred years.
[29] And after these years My son the Messiah shall die, and all who draw human breath.
[30] And the world shall be turned back to primeval silence for seven days, as it was at the first beginnings; so that no one shall be left.
[31] And after seven days the world, which is not yet awake, shall be roused, and that which is corruptible shall perish.

7 “church” ages of Revelation.

[32] And the earth shall give up those who are asleep in it, and the dust those who dwell silently in it; and the chambers shall give up the souls which have been committed to them.
[33] And the Most High shall be revealed upon the seat of judgment, and compassion shall pass away, and patience shall be withdrawn;
[34] but only judgment shall remain, truth shall stand, and faithfulness shall grow strong.
[35] And recompense shall follow, and the reward shall be manifested; righteous deeds shall awake, and unrighteous deeds shall not sleep.
[36] Then the pit of torment shall appear, and opposite it shall be the place of rest; and the furnace of hell shall be disclosed, and opposite it the paradise of delight.
[37] Then the Most High will say to the nations that have been raised from the dead, `Look now, and understand whom you have denied, whom you have not served, whose commandments you have despised!
[38] Look on this side and on that; here are delight and rest, and there are fire and torments!' Thus He will speak to them on the day of judgment --
[39] a day that has no sun or moon or stars,
[40] or cloud or thunder or lightning or wind or water or air, or darkness or evening or morning,
[41] or summer or spring or heat or winter or frost or cold or hail or rain or dew,
[42] or noon or night, or dawn or shining or brightness or light, but only the splendor of the glory of the Most High, by which all shall see what has been determined for them.
[43] For it will last for about a week of years.
[44] This is My judgment and its prescribed order; and to you alone have I shown these things."
[45] I answered and said, "O sovereign Yahweh, I said then and I say now: Blessed are those who are alive and keep thy commandments!
[46] But what of those for whom I prayed? For who among the living is there that has not sinned, or who among men that has not transgressed thy covenant?
[47] And now I see that the world to come will bring delight to few, but torments to many.
[48] For an evil heart has grown up in us, which has alienated us from God, and has brought us into corruption and the ways of death, and has shown us the paths of perdition and removed us far from life -- and that not just a few of us but almost all who have been created!"
[49] He answered me and said, "Listen to me, Ezra, and I will instruct you, and will admonish you yet again.
[50] For this reason the Most High has made not one world but two.
[51] For whereas you have said that the righteous are not many but few, while the ungodly abound, hear the explanation for this.
[52] "If you have just a few precious stones, will you add to them lead and clay?"

If you had a beautiful white family, would you add to it blacks, mexicans, asians or Jews?
[53] I said, "Yahweh, how could that be?"
[54] And He said to me, "Not only that, but ask the earth and she will tell you; defer to her, and she will declare it to you.
[55] Say to her, `You produce gold and silver and brass, and also iron and lead and clay;
[56] but silver is more abundant than gold, and brass than silver, and iron than brass, and lead than iron, and clay than lead.'
[57] Judge therefore which things are precious and desirable, those that are abundant or those that are rare?"
[58] I said, "O sovereign Yahweh, what is plentiful is of less worth, for what is more rare is more precious."
[59] He answered me and said, "Weigh within yourself what you have thought, for he who has what is hard to get rejoices more than he who has what is plentiful.
[60] So also will be the judgment which I have promised; for I will rejoice over the few who shall be saved, because it is they who have made My glory to prevail now, and through them My name has now been honored.

The “churches” are many. The elect are few. Only the elect few today honor His name, Yahweh. Only the elect few understand the true identity of the children of Israel and the true identity of the children of the Devil, the Jews. Only the elect few have true knowledge of our heritage and only the elect few keep His laws.


[61] And I will not grieve over the multitude of those who perish; for it is they who are now like a mist, and are similar to a flame and smoke -- they are set on fire and burn hotly, and are extinguished."
[62] I replied and said, "O earth, what have you brought forth, if the mind is made out of the dust like the other created things!
[63] For it would have been better if the dust itself had not been born, so that the mind might not have been made from it.
[64] But now the mind grows with us, and therefore we are tormented, because we perish and know it.
[65] Let the human race lament, but let the beasts of the field be glad; let all who have been born lament, but let the four-footed beasts and the flocks rejoice!
[66] For it is much better with them than with us; for they do not look for a judgment, nor do they know of any torment or salvation promised to them after death.
[67] For what does it profit us that we shall be preserved alive but cruelly tormented?
[68] For all who have been born are involved in iniquities, and are full of sins and burdened with transgressions.
[69] And if we were not to come into judgment after death, perhaps it would have been better for us."
[70] He answered me and said, "When the Most High made the world and Adam and all who have come from him, He first prepared the judgment and the things that pertain to the judgment.
[71] And now understand from your own words, for you have said that the mind grows with us.
[72] For this reason, therefore, those who dwell on earth shall be tormented, because though they had understanding they committed iniquity, and though they received the commandments they did not keep them, and though they obtained the law they dealt unfaithfully with what they received.
[73] What, then, will they have to say in the judgment, or how will they answer in the last times?
[74] For how long the time is that the Most High has been patient with those who inhabit the world, and not for their sake, but because of the times which He has foreordained!"
[75] I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Yahweh, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?"
[76] He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented.
[77] For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.

Answers about death:
[78] Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to Him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High.
[79] And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised His law, and who have hated those who fear God --
[80] such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.

The unrighteous
[81] The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High.
[82] The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live.
[83] The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High.
[84] The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days.
[85] The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet.
[86] The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments.
[87] The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.

The righteous
[88] "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body.
[89] During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly.
[90] Therefore this is the teaching concerning them:
[91] First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of Him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
[92] The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death.
[93] The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the ungodly wander, and the punishment that awaits them.
[94] The third order, they see the witness which He who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust.
[95] The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days.
[96] The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality.
[97] The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on.
[98] The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of Him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
[99] This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter."

WOW!
[100] I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?"
[101] He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations (chambers)."
[102] I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the ungodly or to entreat the Most High for them,
[103] fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear."
[104] He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead,
[105] so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness."

Galatians 6:5 ​ For every man shall bear his own burden.

[36(106)] I answered and said, "How then do we find that first Abraham prayed for the people of Sodom, and Moses for our fathers who sinned in the desert,
[37(107)] and Joshua after him for Israel in the days of Achan,
[38(108)] and Samuel in the days of Saul, and David for the plague, and Solomon for those in the sanctuary,
[39(109)] and Elijah for those who received the rain, and for the one who was dead, that he might live,
[40(110)] and Hezekiah for the people in the days of Sennacherib, and many others prayed for many?
[41(111)] If therefore the righteous have prayed for the ungodly now, when corruption has increased and unrighteousness has multiplied, why will it not be so then as well?"
[42(112)] He answered me and said, "This present world is not the end; the full glory does not abide in it; therefore those who were strong prayed for the weak.
[43(113)] But the day of judgment will be the end of this age (Esau) and the beginning of the immortal age to come (Jacob), in which corruption has passed away,

This is the 2nd Advent. And final. There is no “1000 years” of evil all over again, the “1000 years” already happened during the Reformation (800-1800 AD).

This is the 2nd Advent. And final. There is no “1000 years” of evil all over again, the “1000 years” already happened during the Reformation (800-1800 AD).

[44(114)] sinful indulgence has come to an end, unbelief has been cut off, and righteousness has increased and truth has appeared.
[45(115)] Therefore no one will then be able to have mercy on him who has been condemned in the judgment, or to harm him who is victorious."
[46(116)] I answered and said, "This is my first and last word, that it would have been better if the earth had not produced Adam, or else, when it had produced him, had restrained him from sinning.

Ezra loves his people so much, but fails to understand that this mortal life is the test.
[47(117)] For what good is it to all that they live in sorrow now and expect punishment after death?
[48(118)] O Adam, what have you done? For though it was you who sinned, the fall was not yours alone, but ours also who are your descendants.
[49(119)] For what good is it to us, if an eternal age has been promised to us, but we have done deeds that bring death?
[50(120)] And what good is it that an everlasting hope has been promised to us, but we have miserably failed?
[51(121)] Or that safe and healthful habitations have been reserved for us, but we have lived wickedly?
[52(122)] Or that the glory of the Most High will defend those who have led a pure life, but we have walked in the most wicked ways?
[53(123)] Or that a paradise shall be revealed, whose fruit remains unspoiled and in which are abundance and healing, but we shall not enter it,
[54(124)] because we have lived in unseemly places?
[55(125)] Or that the faces of those who practiced self-control shall shine more than the stars, but our faces shall be blacker than darkness?
[56(126)] For while we lived and committed iniquity we did not consider what we should suffer after death."
[57(127)] He answered and said, "This is the meaning of the contest which every man who is born on earth shall wage,
[58(128)] that if he is defeated he shall suffer what you have said, but if he is victorious he shall receive what I have said.
[59(129)] For this is the way of which Moses, while he was alive, spoke to the people, saying, `Choose for yourself life, that you may live!' ​ The law is life.
[60(130)] But they did not believe him, or the prophets after him, or even myself who have spoken to them. ​ This angel has to be Christ.
[61(131)] Therefore there shall not be grief at their destruction, so much as joy over those to whom salvation is assured."
[62(132)] I answered and said, "I know, O Yahweh, that the Most High is now called merciful, because He has mercy on those who have not yet come into the world;
[63(133)] and gracious, because He is gracious to those who turn in repentance to His law;
[64(134)] and patient, because He shows patience toward those who have sinned, since they are His own works;
[65(135)] and bountiful, because He would rather give than take away;
[66(136)] and abundant in compassion, because He makes His compassions abound more and more to those now living and to those who are gone and to those yet to come,
[67(137)] for if He did not make them abound, the world with those who inhabit it would not have life;
[68(138)] and He is called Giver, because if He did not give out of His goodness so that those who have committed iniquities might be relieved of them, not one ten-thousandth of mankind could have life;
[69(139)] and judge, because if He did not pardon those who were created by His word and blot out the multitude of their sins,
[70(140)] there would probably be left only very few of the innumerable multitude."



The reward that awaits the righteous

II Esdras 8:1 ​ He answered me and said, "The Most High made this world for the sake of many, but the world to come for the sake of few.
But I tell you a parable, Ezra. Just as, when you ask the earth, it will tell you that it provides very much clay from which earthenware is made, but only a little dust from which gold comes; so is the course of the present world.
Many have been created, but few shall be saved."

This is very opposite of what the “churches teach”, these statements are found all over scripture. The “churches” do not teach what the scriptures teach.
I answered and said, "Then drink your fill of understanding, O my soul, and drink wisdom, O my heart!
For not of your own will did you come into the world, and against your will you depart, for you have been given only a short time to live.
O Yahweh who are over us, grant to thy servant that we may pray before thee, and give us seed for our heart and cultivation of our understanding so that fruit may be produced, by which every mortal who bears the likeness of a human being may be able to live.
For thou alone dost exist, and we are a work of thy hands, as thou hast declared.
And because thou dost give life to the body which is now fashioned in the womb, and dost furnish it with members, what thou hast created is preserved in fire and water, and for nine months the womb which thou has formed endures thy creation which has been created in it.
But that which keeps and that which is kept shall both be kept by thy keeping. And when the womb gives up again what has been created in it,
[10] thou hast commanded that from the members themselves (that is, from the breasts) milk should be supplied which is the fruit of the breasts,
[11] so that what has been fashioned may be nourished for a time; and afterwards thou wilt guide him in thy mercy.
[12] Thou hast brought him up in thy righteousness, and instructed him in thy law, and reproved (corrected) him in thy wisdom.
[13] Thou wilt take away his life, for he is thy creation; and thou wilt make him live, for he is thy work.
[14] If then thou wilt suddenly and quickly destroy him who with so great labor was fashioned by thy command, to what purpose was he made?
[15] And now I will speak out: About all mankind thou knowest best (Gen 10 nations); but I will speak about thy people, for whom I am grieved,
[16] and about thy inheritance, for whom I lament, and about Israel, for whom I am sad, and about the seed of Jacob, for whom I am troubled.
[17] Therefore I will pray before thee for myself and for them, for I see the failings of us who dwell in the land,
[18] and I have heard of the swiftness of the judgment that is to come.
[19] Therefore hear My voice, and understand My words, and I will speak before thee." The beginning of the words of Ezra's prayer, before he was taken up. He said:
[20] "O Yahweh who inhabitest eternity, whose eyes are exalted and whose upper chambers are in the air,
[21] whose throne is beyond measure and whose glory is beyond comprehension, before whom the hosts of angels stand trembling
[22] and at whose command they are changed to wind and fire, whose word is sure (true) and whose utterances are certain, whose ordinance is strong and whose command is terrible,
[23] whose look dries up the depths and whose indignation makes the mountains melt away, and whose truth is established for ever --
[24] hear, O Yahweh, the prayer of thy servant, and give ear to the petition of thy creature; attend to my words.
[25] For as long as I live I will speak, and as long as I have understanding I will answer.
[26] O look not upon the sins of thy people, but at those who have served thee in truth.
[27] Regard not the endeavors of those who act wickedly, but the endeavors of those who have kept thy covenants amid afflictions.
[28] Think not on those who have lived wickedly in thy sight; but remember those who have willingly acknowledged that thou art to be feared.
[29] Let it not be thy will to destroy those who have had the ways of cattle; but regard those who have gloriously taught thy law.
[30] Be not angry with those who are deemed worse than beasts; but love those who have always put their trust in thy glory.
[31] For we and our fathers have passed our lives in ways that bring death, but thou, because of us sinners, are called merciful.
[32] For if thou hast desired to have pity on us, who have no works of righteousness, then thou wilt be called merciful.
[33] For the righteous, who have many works laid up with thee, shall receive their reward in consequence of their own deeds.

The forgiveness we got at calvary was not based on earning, but what's coming at the Judgment will be earned.
[34] But what is man, that thou art angry with him; or what is a corruptible race, that thou art so bitter against it?
[35] For in truth there is no one among those who have been born who has not acted wickedly, and among those who have existed there is no one who has not transgressed.
[36] For in this, O Yahweh, thy righteousness and goodness will be declared, when thou art merciful to those who have no store of good works."
[37] He answered me and said, "Some things you have spoken rightly, and it will come to pass according to your words.
[38] For indeed I will not concern myself about the fashioning of those who have sinned, or about their death, their judgment, or their destruction;
[39] but I will rejoice over the creation of the righteous, over their pilgrimage also, and their salvation, and their receiving their reward.
[40] As I have spoken, therefore, so it shall be.
[41] "For just as the farmer sows many seeds upon the ground and plants a multitude of seedlings, and yet not all that have been sown will come up in due season, and not all that were planted will take root; so also those who have been sown in the world will not all be saved."

Hosea 8:7 ​ For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.


[42] I answered and said, "If I have found favor before thee, let me speak.
[43] For if the farmer's seed does not come up, because it has not received thy rain in due season, or if it has been ruined by too much rain, it perishes.
[44] But man, who has been formed by thy hands and is called thy own image because he is made like thee, and for whose sake thou hast formed all things -- hast thou also made him like the farmer's seed?
[45] No, O Yahweh who art over us! But spare thy people and have mercy on thy inheritance, for thou hast mercy on thy own creation."

Some believe in the restoration of all things, but II Esdras and other books state otherwise. This life is a test. Some pass, most fail.

Some believe in the restoration of all things, but II Esdras and other books state otherwise. This life is a test. Some pass, most fail.
[46] He answered me and said, "Things that are present are for those who live now, and things that are future are for those who will live hereafter.
[47] For you come far short of being able to love My creation more than I love it. But you have often compared yourself to the unrighteous. Never do so!
[48] But even in this respect you will be praiseworthy before the Most High,
[49] because you have humbled yourself, as is becoming for you, and have not deemed yourself to be among the righteous in order to receive the greatest glory. ​ WOW!
[50] For many miseries will affect those who inhabit the world in the last times, because they have walked in great pride.
[51] But think of your own case, and inquire concerning the glory of those who are like yourself,
[52] because it is for you that paradise is opened, the tree of life is planted, the age to come is prepared, plenty is provided, a city is built, rest is appointed, goodness is established and wisdom perfected beforehand.
[53] The root of evil is sealed up from you, illness is banished from you, and death is hidden; hell has fled and corruption has been forgotten;
[54] sorrows have passed away, and in the end the treasure of immortality is made manifest. AMEN
[55] Therefore do not ask any more questions about the multitude of those who perish.
[56] For they also received freedom , but they despised the Most High, and were contemptuous of His law, and forsook His ways.
[57] Moreover they have even trampled upon His righteous ones,
[58] and said in their hearts that there is not God -- though knowing full well that they must die.
[59] For just as the things which I have predicted await you, so the thirst and torment which are prepared await them. For the Most High did not intend that men should be destroyed;
[60] but they themselves who were created have defiled the name of Him (Yahweh) who made them, and have been ungrateful to Him who prepared life for them.
[61] Therefore My judgment is now drawing near;
[62] I have not shown this to all men, but only to you and a few like you." Then I answered and said,
[63] "Behold, O Yahweh, thou hast now shown me a multitude of the signs which thou wilt do in the last times, but thou hast not shown me when thou wilt do them."

I wanna know when!!!



II Esdras 9:1 ​ He answered me and said, "Measure carefully in your mind, and when you see that a certain part of the predicted signs are past,
then you will know that it is the very time when the Most High is about to visit the world which He has made.
So when there shall appear in the world earthquakes (check), tumult of peoples (check), intrigues of nations (check), wavering of leaders (double check), confusion of princes (check),
then you will know that it was of these that the Most High spoke from the days that were of old, from the beginning.
For just as with everything that has occurred in the world, the beginning is evident, and the end manifest;
so also are the times of the Most High: the beginnings are manifest in wonders and mighty works, and the end in requital and in signs.
And it shall be that every one who will be saved and will be able to escape on account of his works, or on account of the faith by which he has believed,
will survive the dangers that have been predicted, and will see My salvation in My land and within My borders, which I have sanctified for Myself from the beginning.
Then those who have now abused My ways shall be amazed, and those who have rejected them with contempt shall dwell in torments.

Contempt, the act of despising.
[10] For as many as did not acknowledge Me in their lifetime, although they received My benefits,
[11] and as many as scorned My law while they still had freedom, and did not understand but despised it while an opportunity of repentance was still open to them,
[12] these must in torment acknowledge it after death.
[13] Therefore, do not continue to be curious as to how the ungodly will be punished; but inquire how the righteous will be saved, those to whom the age belongs and for whose sake the age was made."
[14] I answered and said,
[15] "I said before, and I say now, and will say it again: there are more who perish than those who will be saved,
[16] as a wave is greater than a drop of water."
[17] He answered me and said, "As is the field, so is the seed; and as are the flowers, so are the colors; and as is the work, so is the product; and as is the farmer, so is the threshing floor.
[18] For there was a time in this age when I was preparing for those who now exist, before the world was made for them to dwell in, and no one opposed Me then, for no one existed;
[19] but now those who have been created in this world which is supplied both with an unfailing table and an inexhaustible pasture, have become corrupt in their ways.
[20] So I considered My world, and behold, it was lost, and My earth, and behold, it was in peril because of the devices of those who had come into it.

The fallen angels, corrupting the world before the man Adam.
[21] And I saw and spared some with great difficulty, and saved for Myself one grape out of a cluster, and one plant out of a great forest.
[22] So let the multitude perish which has been born in vain, but let My grape and My plant be saved, because with much labor I have perfected them.

This must be a reference to Noah and his family. It may also represent Israelites out of the family of Adamites. Also the elect out of the children of Israel.
[23] But if you will let seven days more pass -- do not fast during them, however;
[24] but go into a field of flowers where no house has been built, and eat only of the flowers of the field, and taste no meat and drink no wine, but eat only flowers,
[25] and pray to the Most High continually -- then I will come and talk with you."
[26] So I went, as He directed me, into the field which is called Ardat; and there I sat among the flowers and ate of the plants of the field, and the nourishment they afforded satisfied me.
[27] And after seven days, as I lay on the grass, my heart was troubled again as it was before.
[28] And my mouth was opened, and I began to speak before the Most High, and said,
[29] "O Yahweh, thou didst show thyself among us, to our fathers in the wilderness when they came out from Egypt and when they came into the untrodden and unfruitful wilderness;
[30] and thou didst say, `Hear Me, O Israel, and give heed to My words, O descendants of Jacob.
[31] For behold, I sow My law in you, and it shall bring forth fruit in you and you shall be glorified through it for ever.'
[32] But though our fathers received the law, they did not keep it, and did not observe the statutes; yet the fruit of the law did not perish -- for it could not, because it was thine.
[33] Yet those who received it perished, because they did not keep what had been sown in them.
[34] And behold, it is the rule that, when the ground has received seed, or the sea a ship, or any dish food or drink, and when it happens that what was sown or what was launched or what was put in it is destroyed,
[35] they are destroyed, but the things that held them remain; yet with us it has not been so.
[36] For we who have received the law and sinned will perish, as well as our heart which received it;
[37] the law, however, does not perish but remains in its glory."
[38] When I said these things in my heart, I lifted up my eyes and saw a woman on my right, and behold, she was mourning and weeping with a loud voice, and was deeply grieved at heart, and her clothes were rent, and there were ashes on her head.
[39] Then I dismissed the thoughts with which I had been engaged, and turned to her
[40] and said to her, "Why are you weeping, and why are you grieved at heart?"
[41] And she said to me, "Let me alone, my master, that I may weep for myself and continue to mourn, for I am greatly embittered in spirit and deeply afflicted."
[42] And I said to her, "What has happened to you? Tell me."
[43] And she said to me, "Your servant was barren and had no child, though I lived with my husband thirty years.
[44] And every hour and every day during those thirty years I besought the Most High, night and day.
[45] And after thirty years God heard your handmaid, and looked upon my low estate, and considered my distress, and gave me a son. And I rejoiced greatly over him, I and my husband and all my neighbors; and we gave great glory to the Mighty One.
[46] And I brought him up with much care.
[47] So when he grew up and I came to take a wife for him, I set a day for the marriage feast.

This sure sounds like a parable about Israel.



II Esdras 10:1 ​ (continuing) "But it happened that when my son entered his wedding chamber, he fell down and died.
Then we all put out the lamps, and all my neighbors attempted to console me; and I remained quiet until evening of the second day.
But when they all had stopped consoling me, that I might be quiet, I got up in the night and fled, and came to this field, as you see.
And now I intend not to return to the city, but to stay here, and I will neither eat nor drink, but without ceasing mourn and fast until I die."
Then I broke off the reflections with which I was still engaged, and answered her in anger and said,
"You most foolish of women, do you not see our mourning, and what has happened to us?
For Zion, the mother of us all, is in deep grief and great affliction.
​ Matthew 5:4 ​ Blessed are they that mourn (for Zion): for they shall be comforted.

The context is brotherly love, not personal loss. It's about Zion, the people. The nation, the race, the family.
