XXX. But while He was still speaking, I found myself upon the earth. And I said: "O Eternal, Mighty One, I am no longer in the glory in which I was (while) on high, and what my soul longed to understand in mine heart I do not understand."

And He said to me: "What is desired in thine heart I will tell thee, because thou hast sought to see the ten plagues which I have prepared for the heathen, and have prepared beforehand at the passing over of the twelfth hour of the earth. Hear what I divulge to thee, so shall it come to pass: the first (is) pain of great distress; the second, conflagration of many cities; the third, destruction and pestilence of animals; the fourth, hunger of the whole world and of its people; the fifth by destruction among its rulers, destruction by earthquake and the sword; the sixth, multiplication of hail and snow; the seventh, the wild beasts will be their grave; the eighth, hunger and pestilence will alternate with their destruction; the ninth, punishment by the sword and flight in distress; the tenth, thunder and voices and destructive earthquake."

"And then I will sound the trumpet out of the air, and will send Mine Elect One [My servant], having in him all My power [by My leave], one measure; and this one shall summon My despised people from the nations, and I will burn with fire those who have insulted them and who have ruled among them in (this) Age.

"And I will give those who have covered Me with

mockery to the scorn of the coming Age; and I have prepared them to be food for the fire of Hades and for ceaseless flight to and fro through the air in the underworld beneath the earth, the body filled with worms. For on them shall they see the righteousness of the Creator — those, namely, who have chosen to do My will, and those who have openly kept My commandments, (and) they shall rejoice with joy over the downfall of the men who still remain, who have followed the idols and their murders. For they shall putrefy in the body of the evil worm Azazel [Satan], and be burnt with the fire of Azazel's tongue; for I [desired] that they would come to Me, and not have loved and praised the strange (god), and not have adhered to him for whom they were not allotted, but (instead) they have forsaken the mighty Lord."
