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—for if he did not make them
abound, the world with those who inhabit it would not have life—and he is
called the 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 humankind could have life; and the judge, because if he did
not pardon those who were created by his word and blot out the multitude
of their sins, there would probably be left only very few of the innumerable
multitude.’ He answered me and said,

But I tell you a parable, Ezra [Esdras]. Just as, when you ask the earth, it will
tell you that it provides a large amount of clay from which earthenware is

What the angel speaks to Esdras is a prophetic vision of life from two
different dimensions: one eternal or spiritual and the other physical, because
life must be lived to be experienced. These words are to educate you in your
struggle of trying to comprehend, and they should give solace to you,
assisting in the search for truth. Eternity may be understood in this
imperfect dimension of time, and experienced outside of perfection. So,
understanding is given so that one may to comprehend the spiritual, and
wisdom is acquired so one may experience a clear perception of truth,
becoming like-minded to the Father. What is most precious to God is that
we understand now, and use wisdom to fulfill the Divine Will in this
imperfect state of time. Furthermore, everyone must acquire perfection—
the spiritual, not physical in this moment of time. So, reflect deeper within
the word, and you will understand and align to the Father’s Will; thus
repentance is found at the intersection of the narrow and wide roads.
Choose correctly and see the “Y” in the road, but know why to choose the
correct road.
Tribulation, Armageddon—Rapture
You may judge by the signs of the times, for they are obvious. But, many
people are afraid to even approach or discuss the subject with any sense of
seriousness. Those who do consider the “end times” are subjected to
numerous biblical misinterpretations by the world of knowledge. These
understandings skew toward disastrous events expected in the end, and
