2 Esdras 6:26

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,

2 Esdras 6:26 In-Context

24 In that time friends will make war on friends like enemies, the earth along with those who live on it will be terrified, and the sources of rivers will stand still so that they don't run for three hours.
25 Then everyone who is left after all these things that I have foretold to you will be saved. These will see my deliverance and the end of my age.
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."
