2 ESDRAS: The Hidden Book of Prophecy With 1st Esdras - Book - Page 68
2nd Esdras 7:12-14
Then were the entrances of this world made narrow, full of sorrow
and travail: they are but few and evil, full of perils, and very painful. For
the entrances of the elder world were wide and sure, and brought
immortal fruit. If then they that live, labor not to enter these straight and
vain things, they can never receive those that are laid up for them.
Matthew 7:13-14 KJV
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the
way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in
thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Esdras even expanded on that one and does so multiple times that entrances to
salvation became narrow after the fall of Adam. They were wide previously. However,
this one stands on it’s own. There is no parallel in prophecy as 2nd Esdras gives a
fairly exact timeframe for the birth of Messiah to come. In 400 B.C., he prophesies
Yahusha by name, will be revealed or born on earth in 400 years around 0 B.C. Only
the fraudulent dating based on nothing scientific, and we proved wrong earlier, could
possibly lead one to question this one. With Ezra nailing the very birth of Messiah in
era, that alone proves this an inspired writing and Ezra a true prophet that should be
taken far more seriously than many have awarded.
2nd Esdras 7:28
For my son YAHUSHA shall be revealed with those that be with
him, and they that remain shall rejoice within four hundred
years.
In addition, Ezra saw Messiah’s death, ascension, second coming and His righteous
Judgment in the end. New Testament concepts found in the Old Testament. No wonder
the Pharisees do not want this connection to be made.
2nd Esdras 7:33
And the Most High shall appear upon the seat of judgment, and
misery shall pass away, and the long suffering shall have an end.
Romans 14:10 KJV
But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for
we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
