2 ESDRAS: The Hidden Book of Prophecy With 1st Esdras - Book - Page 62
2nd Esdras was written at the very least in 100 B.C. well before the whole of the
New Testament thus any concepts we find in the New Testament for that book, proves
Messiah and the Apostles were quoting it. Of course, that still is far later than the
book says and once you find this vets as scripture in doctrine especially, 2nd Esdras was
written when it says it was around 400 B.C. by the Prophet Ezra himself or perhaps
his scribe though he originally was a scribe so certainly would not have needed one
necessarily. This will affirm 2nd Esdras as inspired scripture or not. Let’s begin with
Messiah’s words even recognized in the 1611 King James Version as originating in 2nd
Esdras.
Messiah Quoted 2nd Esdras:
According to the Original, Authorized 1611 King James Version, 2nd Esdras is
anchored in the Margin Note for Matthew 23:37-38 as Messiah quoting 2 Esdras 1:3033. He certainly was as is obvious.
Matthew 23:37-38
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them
which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children
together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings,
and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
2nd Esdras 1:30-33
I gathered you together, as a hen gathers her chickens under her
wings: but now, what shall I do unto you? I will cast you out from my face. When
you offer unto me, I will turn my face from you: for your solemn feast days, your new
Moon, and your circumcisions have I forsaken. I sent unto you my servants
the Prophets, whom you have taken and slain, and torn their bodies
in pieces, whose blood I will require of your hands, says Yahuah. Thus saith the
Almighty Yahuah, Your house is desolate, I will cast you out, as the wind does
stubble.”
This is an endorsement of 2nd Esdras as inspired scripture. Messiah Himself quoted
this book. Even if you do not desire to view this as Bible, no one should reject any book
quoted by Messiah for doctrine. He is the Word and there is no overcoming that. In
the Second Chapter after being quoted by Messiah, 2nd Esdras offers a paragraph that
becomes the root of multiple New Testament verses regarding the End Times. This
is significant doctrinal application that is irrefutable. The only attempt would be the
dating which we already proved 2nd Esdras being used to interpret prophecy in the
Qumran scrolls over 100 years before Revelation was written.
