Then many people came to him, some of whom were joyful and some sorrowful; some of them were bound, and some were bringing others as offerings. Then in great fear I awoke; and I besought the Most High, and said,
14
"From the beginning thou hast shown thy servant these wonders, and hast deemed me worthy to have my prayer heard by thee;
15
now show me also the interpretation of this dream.
16
For as I consider it in my mind, alas for those who will be left in those days! And still more, alas for those who are not left!
17
For those who are not left will be sad,
18
because they understand what is reserved for the last days, but cannot attain it.
19
But alas for those also who are left, and for that very reason! For they shall see great dangers and much distress, as these dreams show.
20
Yet it is better to come into these things, though incurring peril, than to pass from the world like a cloud, and not to see what shall happen in the last days." He answered me and said,
21
"I will tell you the interpretation of the vision, and I will also explain to you the things which you have mentioned.
22
As for what you said about those who are left, this is the interpretation:
23
He who brings the peril at that time will himself protect those who fall into peril, who have works and have faith in the Almighty.
