25. The interpretations of the vision are as follows:“In that you saw a man going up from the heart of the sea,
26. that is the one whom the Most High has been keeping for many ages. He will liberate God’s creation all by himself, and he will put in order those who are left.
27. “In that you saw something like wind and fire and storm go out of his mouth,
28. and that he didn’t hold a spear or weapon of war, yet destroyed the rush of that multitude that had come to fight him, here is the interpretation:
29. Look, the days are coming when the Most High will begin to rescue those who are on the earth.
30. Those who live on earth will go out of their minds.
31. They will plan to wage war against each other, city against city, place against place, nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
32. When these things happen, and the signs that I showed you before take place, then my Son will be revealed, whom you saw as a man rising up.
33. When all the nations hear his voice, then each one will leave its own region and will leave off the wars they were waging against each other.
34. An innumerable mob will be gathered together, as you saw, wanting to come and fight against him.
35. But he will take his stand on the summit of Mount Zion.
36. Zion will come and will appear to all, built and ready, as you saw a mountain carved without hands.
37. My Son himself will indict the assembled nations for their impious deeds—these things were indicated by the storm. He will scold them for their evil plans and reveal the torments with which they are about to be tortured. These things correspond to the flame.
38. He will destroy them without effort by the Law, which was indicated by the fire.
39. "As to the fact that you saw him collecting to himself another peaceful multitude,
40. these are the ten tribes that were taken captive from their land in the days of King Hoshea, whom King Shalmaneser of the Assyrians took across the river as a captive. They were taken into another land,
41. but they made this plan for themselves: They would leave the multitude of the nations and go into a more remote region, where the human race had never lived.
42. There they would be able to observe their customs, which they hadn’t kept in their own region.
43. They went in through the narrow passages of the Euphrates River.
44. Then the Most High gave them signs and stopped the flow of the river until they had passed.
