2 Esdras 9:7 In-Context

5 The beginning and the end of everything that happens in this world are clear.

6 The same is true in the world above: wonders and miracles show the beginning of events, and mighty signs show when they end.

7 "Some people will escape destruction and be saved by their good works or by their faith. All of them

8 will survive the dangers I have described and will enjoy the salvation provided in the land that I have set apart from eternity as my own.

9 Then those who have ignored my ways and held them in contempt will be surprised when they find themselves in continual torment.
