2 Esdras 13:26
King James VersionSource notes
“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.”
Context
23He 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.
24Know this therefore, that they which be left behind are more blessed than they that be dead.
25This is the meaning of the vision: Whereas thou sawest a man coming up from the midst of the sea:
26The 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.
27And whereas thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came as a blast of wind, and fire, and storm;
28And 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:
29Behold, the days come, when the most High will begin to deliver them that are upon the earth.
