2 ESDRAS: The Hidden Book of Prophecy With 1st Esdras - Book - Page 69
2 Corinthians 5:10 KJV
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that
every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done,
whether it be good or bad.
As with the narrow gate, we find 2nd Esdras further defining what we read in the New
Testament from Yahusha once again. He was quoting 2nd Esdras.
2nd Esdras 8:1, 3
And he answered me, saying, The Most High hath made this world for
many, but the world to come for few.
...There be many created, but few shall be saved.
Matthew 20:16 KJV
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few
chosen.
Many of us have quoted many times that it is not Yahuah’s will that any should
perish. However, did you know that originates in 2nd Esdras?
2nd Esdras 8:59
For as the things aforesaid shall receive you, so thirst and pain are prepared for them;
for it was not his will that men should come to nothing.
2 Peter 3:9 KJV
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that
all should come to repentance.
Peter is again referencing 2nd Esdras. We have heard many times that faith without
works is dead. Of course, many forget that and claim faith only is all we need when the
Bible says both so why preach dead faith?
2nd Esdras 9:7-8
And every one that shall be saved, and shall be able to escape
by his works, and by faith, whereby you have believed, Shall be
preserved from the said perils, and shall see my salvation, in my
land, and within my borders: for I have sanctified them for me, from the beginning.
