2 Esdras 13:49

49 When the time comes for my son to destroy the crowd that has gathered from every nation, he will protect his people who are left

2 Esdras 13:49 In-Context

47 and once again God Most High will block the channels of the river, so that they may cross over. That is the meaning of the great crowd of peace-loving people you saw.
48 But they will also have with them all of your own people who are left and who are found within the borders of my holy land.
49 When the time comes for my son to destroy the crowd that has gathered from every nation, he will protect his people who are left
50 and perform many great miracles for them."
51 Then I said, "Lord and Master, please tell me why the man came up out of the sea."
