104. He replied to me: "Because I do indeed favor you, I will also show you this. The Judgment Day is decisive. It reveals the seal of truth to all. Even in the here and now a parent doesn’t send a child, or a child the parent, or a master his servant, or a faithful friend a dear confidant, so that the one should understand or sleep or eat or be taken care of in the other person’s place.

108. and Samuel in the days of Saul; and David for the plague; and Solomon for those in the sanctuary;
109. and Elijah for those who received the rain, and for a dead person that he might live;
110. and Hezekiah for the people in the days of Sennacherib, and many for many people?

114. indulgence is undone, unbelief is cut off, but justice is fully grown, and truth arisen.
