Chapter 13 _{18 Now understand I the things that are laid up in the latter days, which shall happen unto them, and to those that are left behind.19 Therefore are they come into great perils and many necessities, like as these dreams declare.20 Yet is it easier for him that is in danger to come into these things, than to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and not to see the things that happen in the last days. And he answered unto me, and said,21 The interpretation of the vision shall I shew thee, and I will open unto thee the thing that thou hast required.22 Whereas thou hast spoken of them that are left behind, this is the interpretation:23 He that shall endure the peril in that time hath kept himself: they that be fallen into danger are such as have works, and faith toward the Almighty.24 Know this therefore, that they which be left behind are more blessed than they that be dead.25 This is the meaning of the vision: Whereas thou sawest a man coming up from the midst of the sea:26 The same is he whom God the Highest hath kept a great season, which by his own self shall deliver his creature: and he shall order them that are left behind.27 And whereas thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came as a blast of wind, and fire, and storm;28 And that he held neither sword, nor any instrument of war, but that the rushing in of him destroyed the whole multitude that came to subdue him; this is the interpretation:29 Behold, the days come, when the most High will begin to deliver them that are upon the earth.30 And he shall come to the astonishment of them that dwell on the earth.31 And one shall undertake to fight against another, one city against another, one place against another, one people against another, and one realm against another.32 And the time shall be when these things shall come to pass, and the signs shall happen which I shewed thee before, and then shall my Son be declared, whom thou sawest as a man ascending.33 And when all the people hear his voice, every man shall in their own land leave the battle they have one against another.34 And an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, as thou sawest them, willing to come, and to overcome him by fighting.35 But he shall stand upon the top of the mount Sion.36 And Sion shall come, and shall be shewed to all men, being prepared and builded, like as thou sawest the hill graven without hands.37 And this my Son shall rebuke the wicked inventions of those nations, which for their wicked life are fallen into the tempest;38 And shall lay before them their evil thoughts, and the torments wherewith they shall begin to be tormented, which are like unto a flame: and he shall destroy them without labour by the law which is like unto me.39 And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peaceable multitude unto him;40 Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land.}
