9. Esau represents the end of this age, and Jacob represents the beginning of the following.
10. The beginning of the one man is his hand, and the end of the other man is his heel. Don’t look for anything else between heel and hand, Ezra."
11. I answered: "Supreme Lord, if only you looked so favorably upon me
12. that you would show your servant your final signs, which you showed me in part on a previous night."
13. He answered: "Get up on your feet. You’ll hear a loud, echoing voice.
14. Don’t be afraid if the place on which you stand is greatly moved
15. while the voice is speaking. Since the word concerns the end, and since the foundations of the earth will understand
16. that the speech is about them, the place will tremble and shake, because it knows that it is destined to be transformed."
17. When I heard, I rose on my feet and listened. There was a voice speaking, and its sound was like the sound of deep waters.
18. It said: "Look! The days are coming when I will begin to come near to visit those who live on earth,
19. when I will begin to examine those who unjustly inflicted harm in their cruelty. When the humiliation of Zion is complete,
20. when the seal is placed on the age that begins to pass away, I will perform these signs: Scrolls will be opened in view of the firmament, and all will see together.
21. Infants a year old will speak with their voices, and pregnant women will give birth to premature babies of three and four months, but they will live and dance.
