7
At Sinai you heard the Lord rebuke you and declare his determination to punish his enemies.
8
You anointed a king to be the instrument of that punishment, and a prophet to take your place.
9
You were taken up to heaven in a fiery whirlwind, a chariot drawn by fiery horses.
10
The scripture says that you are ready to appear at the designated time, to cool God's anger before it breaks out in fury; that you "will bring parents and children together again," and restore the tribes of Israel.
11
Fortunate are those who live to see you come, as well as those who have already died in love, for we too shall live.
