2 Esdras 13:3 In-Context

1 The seven days passed, and the following night I had a dream.

2 In my dream I saw a wind coming up out of the sea and stirring up great waves.

3 As I watched, the wind brought with it out of the sea what looked like a man, and he was flying on the clouds. When he turned his face, everything he looked at began to tremble,

4 and when he spoke, everyone who heard his voice melted like wax in a fire.

5 I looked again and saw a crowd too large to count. They were people gathered together from all parts of the world to fight against the man who had come up out of the sea.
