2 Esdras 13:52-58

52 He said to me, "Just as no one can explore or know what is in the depths of the sea, so no one on earth can see my Son or those who are with him, except in the time of his day.

53 This is the interpretation of the dream that you saw. And you alone have been enlightened about this,

54 because you have forsaken your own ways and have applied yourself to mine, and have searched out my law;

55 for you have devoted your life to wisdom, and called understanding your mother.

56 Therefore I have shown you these things; for there is a reward laid up with the Most High. For it will be that after three more days I will tell you other things, and explain weighty and wondrous matters to you."

57 Then I got up and walked in the field, giving great glory and praise to the Most High for the wonders that he does from time to time,

58 and because he governs the times and whatever things come to pass in their seasons. And I stayed there three days.
