2 Esdras 10:53-59

53 Therefore I told you to go into the field where there was no foundation of any building,
54 because no work of human construction could endure in a place where the city of the Most High was to be revealed.
55 "Therefore do not be afraid, and do not let your heart be terrified; but go in and see the splendor or the vastness of the building, as far as it is possible for your eyes to see it,
56 and afterward you will hear as much as your ears can hear.
57 For you are more blessed than many, and you have been called to be with the Most High as few have been.
58 But tomorrow night you shall remain here,
59 and the Most High will show you in those dream visions what the Most High will do to those who inhabit the earth in the last days." So I slept that night and the following one, as he had told me.
