2 Esdras 4:47 In-Context

45 show me this also, whether there is more time yet to come than has past or whether the greater times have passed over us,

46 for I know what has passed, but I don't know what is to come."

47 He answered me: "Stand off to the right, and I will show you the interpretation of a parable."

48 I stood aside and looked, and right there a burning furnace passed before me, and when the flame had passed, I looked and the smoke remained.

49 And after this a cloud full of water passed before me, and it poured down much rain with force, and when the rainstorm had passed there remained drops in the cloud.
