2 Esdras 9, 3-5 Signs of the end- There will be earthquakes, National Rebellions, international intrigues, unstable leaders and confused rulers, When you see these things happening, you will know they are what the God most High has spoken of since the beginning of creation. -The beginning and the end-

7 Some people will escape destruction and be saved by their good works or by their Faith. All of them will survive the dangers I have described and will enjoy the salvation provided in the land that I have set apart from eternity as my own.

9 Then those who have ignored my ways and held them in contempt will be suprised when they find themselves in continual torment. This will include all those who ignored me while they were alive, even though they accepted the blessings I gave them. It will include all those who scorned my law during the time they were free to do so and for all those who refused to repent when they had a chance. The torment they will have to suffer after death will force them to recognize the TRUTH.
