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.
24
Understand therefore that those who are left are more blessed than those who have died.
25
This is the interpretation of the vision: As for your seeing a man come up from the heart of the sea,
26
this is he whom the Most High has been keeping for many ages, who will himself deliver his creation; and he will direct those who are left.
27
And as for your seeing wind and fire and a storm coming out of his mouth,
28
and as for his not holding a spear or weapon of war, yet destroying the onrushing multitude which came to conquer him, this is the interpretation:
29
Behold, the days are coming when the Most High will deliver those who are on the earth.
