26. They will see the people who have been taken up and who haven’t tasted death from their birth. The hearts of those who live on earth will be changed and converted to a different spirit,
27. for evil will be erased and grief extinguished.
28. Faith will flourish, and corruption will be overcome. Truth that was without fruit for so long will be displayed."
29. While he was still speaking with me, the place on which I stood was shaken, little by little.

31. If you ask further and fast again for seven days, I will again declare daily to you greater things than these,

33. Because of this he sent me to show you all these things and to say to you: Trust confidently, and don’t be afraid.
34. Don’t be hasty to think empty thoughts about the former times, lest you be hasty about the last times."
35. After all this I wept again and abstained from food for another seven days, to complete the three weeks that had been prescribed for me.
36. Then on the eighth night my heart was disturbed within me again, and I began to speak before the Most High.
37. My spirit was greatly agitated, and my soul was troubled.
38. Then I said: “Lord, you spoke from the beginning of creation on the first day, ‘Let heaven and earth be made,’ and your word accomplished the deed.

40. Then you commanded that a ray of light be brought forth from your treasuries so that your works might be seen.
41. “Then on the second day you created the spirit of the firmament and commanded that it divide and make a division between the waters so that a certain part might recede upward and another part remain below.
42. “On the third day you commanded the waters to be gathered together in a seventh part of the earth, but you made six parts dry and preserved them so that some of these might be sown and cultivated, to be of service before you.
