Prophecy & Indicators of Last Days, Part 3


In the prior post we looked at Enoch 56 and 57 herein we’ll look at 2 Esdras 15 in the scripture he is known as Ezra.

2 Esdras 15

The prophecy of Esdras is certain. The evils that shall come on the world. The Lord will avenge the innocent blood. Egypt shall lament. Sedition and punishment upon the kings of the earth. Cursed are they that sin. Troubles and wars upon the earth. God is the revenger of his elect.

Behold, speak you in the ears of my people the words of prophecy, which I will put in your mouth, saith the Lord:

And cause them to be written in a letter: for they are faithful and true.

Fear not the imaginations of against thee: let not the unfaithfulness of the speakers trouble you, that spoke against you.

For every unfaithful shall die in his unfaithfulness.

Behold, saith the Lord, I will bring plagues upon all the world, the sword, famine, death and destruction:

Because that iniquity has full polluted all the earth, and their wicked works are fulfilled.

Therefore, saith the Lord, I will hold my tongue no more for their wickedness, (they do ungodly) neither will I suffer them in these things, that they do wickedly.

Behold, the innocent and righteous blood cries unto me, and the souls of the just cry continually.

I will surely avenge them, saith the Lord, and receive unto me all the innocent blood from among them.

Behold, my people is led as a flock to the slaughter: I will not suffer them now to dwell in the land of Egypt,

But I will bring them out with a mighty hand, and a stretched out arm, and smite it with plagues as before, and I will destroy all the land thereof.

Egypt shall mourn, and the foundations thereof shall be smitten with the plague and punishment, that God shall bring upon it.

The plowman that till the ground, shall mourn: for their seeds shall shall fail through the blasting and hail, and by an horrible star.

Woe to the world, and to them that dwell therein.

For the sword and their destruction draws near, and one people shall stand up to fight against another with swords in their hands.

For there shall be sedition among men, and one shall invade another: they shall not regard their king, and the princes shall measure their doings by their power.

A man shall have desire to go into a city, and shall not be able.

Because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, the houses shall be afraid, and men shall fear.

A man shall have no pity upon his neighbor, but shall destroy their houses with the sword, and their goods shall be spoiled for lack of bread, and because of great trouble.

Behold, saith God, I call together all the kings of the earth to reverence me, which are from the East, and from the South, from the East, and from Libanus, to turn upon them, and to repay the things, that they have done to them.

As they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will I do also, and recompense them in their bosom: thus saith the Lord God,

My right hand shall not spare the sinners, neither shall the sword cease from them, that shed innocent blood upon earth.

The fire is gone out from his wrath, and has consumed the foundations of the earth, and the sinners like the straw, that is kindled.

Woe to them that sin, and keep not my commandments, saith the Lord.

I will not spare them: depart, o children, from the power: defile not my Sanctuary.

For the Lord knoweth all them that sin against him, and therefore delivers them unto death and destruction.

For now are the plagues come upon the world, and ye shall remain in them: for God will not deliver you, because you have sinned against him.

Behold, an horrible vision comes from the East,

Where generation of dragons of Arabia shall come out with many chariots, and the multitude of them shall be carried as the wind upon the earth, that all they which hear them, may fear and tremble.

Even the Carmanians (modern Iran)* raging in wrath, shall go forth as the bores of the forest, and shall come with great power, and stand against them in battle, and shall destroy a portion of the land of the Assyrians.

But after this shall the dragons have the upper hand, and remember their nature, and shall turn about, and conspire to consume them with a great power.

Then these shall be troubled, and keep silence by their power, and shall flee.

From the land of the Assyrians shall the enemy besiege them, and consume some of them, and in their host shall be fear and dread, and strife among their kings.

Behold clouds from the East, and from the North unto the South, and they are very horrible to look upon, full of wrath and storm.

They shall smite one upon another: and they shall smite down a great multitude of stars upon the earth, even their own star, and the blood shall be from the sword unto the belly,

And the dung of man unto the Camel’s litter.

And there shall be great fearfulness, and trembling upon earth, and they that see the wrath, shall be afraid, and a trembling shall come upon them.

And then there shall come great storms from the south, and from the North, and part from the West.

And from the East shall winds arise and shall open it with the cloud, which he raised up in wrath, and the star, raised to fear the East and West wind, shall be destroyed.

And the great, and mighty clouds shall be lift up, full of wrath, and the star, that they may make all the earth afraid, and them that dwell therein, and that they may pour out over every high place, and lifted up, and horrible constellation,

As fire and hail, and flying swords, and many waters, that all fields may be full, and all rivers with the abundance of great waters.

And they shall break down the cities and walls, and mountains, and hills, and the trees of the wood, and the grass of the meadows, and their corn.

And they shall go with a straight course unto Babylon, and make it afraid.

They shall come to her, and besiege her, and shall pour forth the constellation, and all the wrath against her: then shall the dust and smoke go up unto the heaven, and all they that be about her, shall bewail her.

And they that remain under her, shall do service unto them, and have put her in fear.

And thou Asia, that are partaker of the hope of Babylon, and the glory of her person,

Woe unto thee, o wretch, because thou hast made thyself like unto her, and have decked your daughters in whoredom, that they may please and glory in their lovers, which have always desired to commit whoredom with you.

You have followed her that is hated in all her works, and in her inventions: therefore saith God,

I will send plagues upon you, widowed, poverty, and famine, and the sword, and pestilence, to waste your houses with destruction and death.

And the glory of your power shall be dried up, as a flower when the heat riseth, that is sent upon you.

Thou shalt be sick as a poor wife and is plagued and beaten of women, so that the mighty and the lovers shall not be able to receive you.

Would I thus hate you, saith the Lord.

If you had not always slain my chosen, exalting the stroke of your hands, and said over their death, when you were drunken,

Set forth the beauty of your countenance.

The reward of your whoredom shall be in your bosom: therefore shall you receive a reward.

As thou hast done unto my chosen, saith the Lord, so will God do unto you, and will deliver your unto the plague.

And they that be in the mountains will die of hunger, and eat their own flesh, and drink their own blood for want of bread and thirst of water.

And you, as unhappy, shall come through the sea, and receive plagues again. In the passage they shall cast down the slain city, and shall route out one part of your land, and consume the portion of your glory, and shall return to her that was destroyed.

When you shall be cast down, you shall be to them as stubble, and they shall be to you as fire.

And they shall destroy you, and your cities, your land, and your mountains: all your woods and all your fruit trees shall they burn with fire.

Your children shall they carry away captive, and shall spoil your substance, and mar the beauty of your face.
