The Apocalypse Of Ezra, 2 Esdras (also called 4 Esdras, Latin Esdras, or Latin Ezra) is the name of a book in many versions of the Bible. While the endtimes are described several times in the book, the full description of each ‘apocalypse’, all of time, and the very final end times, takes place in the last 30 minute portion. As he is describing the description of the destruction of Zion in Jerusalem, he carries on and describes the flood, babylon, WW2, Our times, and still future times of what is coming. That portion describes the destruction of North America. The term apocalypse or “Apokalupsis” from Greek means “to uncover or reveal”. This text covers many interesting topics, and answers many questions including: Were Giants Real? How did the earth support them? How long till the end times, or how far along are we? The REAL beast of the end times, how long is the judgement? What happens after earth? The full history of earth, and many more such tremendous revelations. Its authorship is ascribed to Ezra. Similar to the book of Baruch, and the Book Of Enoch, it should be at the end of, and attached to, the Book Of Ezra – Nehemiah, — the two were originally one, but were divided by the so-called “Christian” church in the 3rd century CE and in Jewish circles in the 15th century. This was created well before many of the other visions, and you’ll see why it was removed as it perfectly ties into the others and again shows (too clearly) the truth about several key topics. This is why the book has several names as it was placed in different parts of the bible in different countries. Among Greek Fathers of the Church, 4 Ezra is generally cited as Προφήτης Ἔσδρας Prophetes Esdras (“The Prophet Ezra”) or Ἀποκάλυψις Ἔσδρα Apokalupsis Esdra (“Apocalypse of Ezra”). Wellhausen, Charles, and Gunkel have shown that the original composition was in Hebrew, which was translated into Greek, and then to Latin, Armenian, Ethiopian and Georgian, but the Hebrew and Greek editions have been lost. Slightly differing Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Ethiopic, Georgian, and Armenian translations have survived; the Greek version can be reconstructed from these different translations. The texts’ authenticity as an original portion of the full Holy Bible is beyond reproach.
The Apocalypse Of Ezra, 4 Ezra, (sometimes also called 2 Esdras) consists of seven visions of Ezra the scribe. The first vision takes place as Ezra is still in Babylon. He asks God how Israel can be kept in misery if God is just. The archangel Uriel is sent to answer the question, responding that God’s ways cannot be understood by the human mind. Soon, however, the end would come, and God’s justice would be made manifest.
Similarly, in the second vision, Ezra asks why Israel was delivered up to the Babylonians, and is again told that man cannot understand this and that the end is near. In the third vision Ezra asks why Israel does not possess the world. Uriel responds that the current state is a period of transition. Here follows a description of the fate of evil-doers and the righteous. Ezra asks whether the righteous may intercede for the unrighteous on Judgment Day, but is told that “Judgment Day is final”. The next three visions are more symbolic in nature. The fourth is of a woman mourning for her only son, who is transformed into a city when she hears of the desolation of Zion. Uriel says that the woman is a symbol of Zion. The fifth vision concerns an eagle with three heads and twenty wings (twelve large wings and eight smaller wings “over against them”). The eagle is rebuked by a lion and then burned. The explanation of this vision is that the eagle refers to the fourth kingdom of the vision of Daniel, with the wings and heads as rulers. The final scene is the triumph of the Messiah over the empire. The sixth vision is of a man, representing the Messiah, who breathes fire on a crowd that is attacking him. This man then turns to another peaceful multitude, which accepts him.
Finally, there is a vision of the restoration of scripture. God appears to Ezra in a bush and commands him to restore the Law* (law=system or teaching). Ezra gathers five scribes and begins to dictate. After forty days, he has produced ninety-four books: the twenty-four books of the Tanakh and seventy secret works: “Make public the twenty-four books that you wrote first, and let the worthy and the unworthy read them; but keep the seventy that were written last, in order to give them to the wise among your people.” (2 Esdras 14: 45–46 RSV; 4 Ezra 12: 45–46)”
The “seventy” might refer to the Septuagint, most of the apocrypha, or the Lost Books that are described in the Bible.
