Chapter 10 47 And whereas she told thee that she nourished him with labour: that was the dwelling in Jerusalem.48 But whereas she said unto thee, That my son coming into his marriage chamber happened to have a fail, and died: this was the destruction that came to Jerusalem.49 And, behold, thou sawest her likeness, and because she mourned for her son, thou begannest to comfort her: and of these things which have chanced, these are to be opened unto thee.50 For now the most High seeth that thou art grieved unfeignedly, and sufferest from thy whole heart for her, so hath he shewed thee the brightness of her glory, and the comeliness of her beauty:51 And therefore I bade thee remain in the field where no house was builded:52 For I knew that the Highest would shew this unto thee.53 Therefore I commanded thee to go into the field, where no foundation of any building was.54 For in the place wherein the Highest beginneth to shew his city, there can no man's building be able to stand.55 And therefore fear not, let not thine heart be affrighted, but go thy way in, and see the beauty and greatness of the building, as much as thine eyes be able to see:56 And then shalt thou hear as much as thine ears may comprehend.57 For thou art blessed above many other, and art called with the Highest; and so are but few.58 But to morrow at night thou shalt remain here;59 And so shall the Highest shew thee visions of the high things, which the most High will do unto them that dwell upon the earth in the last days. So I slept that night and another, like as he commanded me.

Chapter 11 1 Then saw I a dream, and, behold, there came up from the sea an eagle, which had twelve feathered wings, and three heads.2 And I saw, and, behold, she spread her wings over all the earth, and all the winds of the air blew on her, and were gathered together.3 And I beheld, and out of her feathers there grew other contrary feathers; and they became little feathers and small.4 But her heads were at rest: the head in the midst was greater than the other, yet rested it with the residue.5 Moreover I beheld, and, lo, the eagle flew with her feathers, and reigned upon earth, and over them that dwelt therein.6 And I saw that all things under heaven were subject unto her, and no man spake against her, no, not one creature upon earth.7 And I beheld, and, lo, the eagle rose upon her talons, and spake to her feathers, saying,8 Watch not all at once: sleep every one in his own place, and watch by course:9 But let the heads be preserved for the last.10 And I beheld, and, lo, the voice went not out of her heads, but from the midst of her body.
