2 Esdras 13:43-50 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

43. When they had to make the difficult passage across the Euphrates,

44. God Most High performed miracles for them and blocked the channels of the river until they had crossed over.

45. Their long journey through that region, which is named Arzareth, took a year and a half,

46. and they have lived there ever since. Now in these last days they are coming back home,

47. and once again God Most High will block the channels of the river, so that they may cross over. That is the meaning of the great crowd of peace-loving people you saw.

48. But they will also have with them all your own people who are left and who are found within the borders of my holy land.

49. When the time comes for my son to destroy the crowd that has gathered from every nation, he will protect his people who are left

50. and perform many great miracles for them.”
