2 ESDRAS: The Hidden Book of Prophecy With 1st Esdras - Book - Page 71
2nd Esdras conveys a continuation of the prophecy of Daniel’s Four Beasts specifically
the final empire. There is much to discuss and we will leave that for that chapter’s
charts. However, it is very telling that Daniel does not mention this Beast rising out of
the sea as we see in Revelation. However, 2nd Esdras does and becomes the likely origin
of Revelation again.
2nd Esdras 11:1
Then I saw a dream, and behold, there came up from the Sea an Eagle,
which had twelve feathered wings, and three heads.
Revelation 13:1 KJV
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea,
having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads
the name of blasphemy.
Again, just a reading of this book for prophecy will ring true for most and raise the

2nd Esdras 12:31-33

is the Anointed which the Highest has kept for them, and for
their wickedness unto the end: he shall reprove them, and shall
upbraid them with their cruelty. For he shall set them before
him alive in judgment, and shall rebuke them and correct them.
In Revelation, Yahusha will consume His enemies with a sword from His mouth. In
2nd Esdras, this is a flaming sword of fire. All of those who come to fight Yahusha will
be turned to dust or ash and smoke. That phoenix will never rise again.
2nd Esdras 13:4, 10-11
And whensoever the voice went out of his mouth, all they burnt,
that heard his voice, like as the earth fails when it feels the fire.
...But only I saw that he sent out of his mouth, as it had been
a blast of fire, and out of his lips a flaming breath, and out of
his tongue he cast out sparks and tempests, And they were all
mixed together; the blast of fire, the flaming breath, and the
great tempest, and fell with violence upon the multitude, which
