I saw a storm coming from the north. There was an immense cloud with flashing lightning surrounded by a bright light. The center of the lightning looked like glowing metal. In the center of the cloud I saw what looked like four living creatures. They were shaped like humans. Each of them had four faces and four wings. read more.
Their legs were straight. Their feet were like those of calves and they glittered like polished copper. They had human hands under their wings on each of their four sides. All four of them had faces and wings. Their wings touched each other. The creatures went straight ahead and they did not turn as they moved. Their faces looked like this: From the front, each creature had the face of a human. From the right side, each one had the face of a lion. From the left, each one had the face of a bull. And from the back, each one had the face of an eagle. That is what their faces looked like. Their wings were spread out and pointed upward. Each creature had two wings with which they touched each other. The other two wings covered their bodies. Each of the creatures went straight ahead. They went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn as they moved. The living creatures looked like burning coals and torches. Fire moved back and forth between the living creatures. The fire was bright and lightning came out of the fire. The living creatures ran back and forth like lightning.

As I looked, I saw something that looked like a human. From the waist down its body looked like fire, and from the waist up its body looked like bright glowing metal. It stretched out what looked like a hand and grabbed me by the hair on my head. In these visions from God, the Spirit carried me between heaven and earth. He took me in vision to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the idol of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy, was located. There I saw the glory of Israel's God as I did in the vision that I saw in the valley. read more.
God said to me: Son of man, look toward the north. So I looked toward the north. There in the entrance to the north gate beside the altar, I saw the idol that provokes jealousy and stirs up God's anger. He asked me: Son of man, do you see what the people of Israel are doing? The people of Israel are doing very disgusting things here, things that will force me to go far away from my holy place. But you will see even more disgusting things. Then he took me to the entrance of the courtyard. As I looked, I saw a hole in the wall. He said to me: Son of man, dig through the wall. So I dug through the wall, and I saw a door. He said: Go in and see the wicked abominations (abhorrences) that they are committing here. So I entered and looked, and behold, every form of creeping things and beasts and detestable things. There were all the idols of the house of Israel. They were carved on the wall all around. Standing in front of them were seventy elders of the house of Israel. Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan stood among them. Each man had his censer in his hand and the fragrance of the cloud of incense was rising. Then he said: Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are committing in the dark, each man in the room of his carved images? For they say: 'Jehovah does not see us! Jehovah has forsaken the land!' He said: Yet you will see still greater abominations that they are committing. Then he brought me to the entrance of the gate of Jehovah's house toward the north; and I saw women sitting there weeping for Tammuz (the god).



Get up and go into the city, and it will be told to you what you must do.

Paul had a vision that night. In it he saw a Macedonian standing and pleading with him, Come over to Macedonia and help us!

Rehoboam established his kingdom and made himself strong. He and all Israel abandoned Jehovah's teachings. King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem. This took place in the fifth year of Rehoboam's reign. It happened because all Israel was not loyal to Jehovah. Shishak had twelve hundred chariots, sixty thousand horses, and an army of countless Libyans, Sukkites, and Sudanese from Egypt. read more.
He captured the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.


I saw the Lord. He said to me: 'Hurry and leave Jerusalem because the people here will not accept your witness about me.'

As he journeyed to Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven shined around him.


He showed me Joshua the high priest. Joshua was standing before the angel of Jehovah, and Satan was standing at his right hand to be his adversary.

I opened my eyes again and saw four chariots. They came out from between two mountains. The mountains were mountains of copper.

He asked: What do you see? I answered: I see a gold lamp stand, with a bowl on top and seven lamps. There are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top.

He said: I had a vision in the night. I saw someone riding a red horse. He stopped among some myrtle trees in a valley, and behind him were other horses, red, speckled, and white.

He asked me: What do you see? I said: I see a flying scroll. It is thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide.




I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. When I turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.


I saw Jehovah standing beside the altar. He said: Strike the capitals that the thresholds may shake! Break them in pieces on the head of all of them and I will slay the last of them with the sword. Not one of them will get away. Not one of them will escape!

This is what the Lord Jehovah showed me: Behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the sprouting of the second crop. It was the later growth (second crop) after the king's mowing. It happened when they quit eating the grass of the land. I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I entreat you: how shall Jacob stand? Since he is so small. Jehovah changed his mind about this. It will not be, said Jehovah. read more.
The Lord Jehovah showed me and, behold, the Lord Jehovah called for judgement (contention) by fire and it devoured the great deep. It would have eaten up the land. Then I said, O Lord Jehovah, cease, I plead with you: how can Jacob stand? After all he is small. Jehovah changed his mind concerning this: This also will not be, said the Lord Jehovah. He showed me: and, behold, Jehovah stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. And Jehovah asked me, Amos, what do you see? I said: A plumb line. Then Jehovah said: Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not spare them any more. The high places of Isaac will be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste. I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

The Lord Jehovah showed me a basket of summer fruit. He said: Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then Jehovah said to me: The end has come to my people Israel. I will spare them no longer. The songs of the Temple will be weeping in that day, said the Lord Jehovah: the dead bodies shall be many. They will observe silence in every place. read more.
Hear this, you who would swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail. You say: When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit. We may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the refuse of the wheat?



Nathan told David exactly what he heard in the vision.


There is a God in heaven that reveals secrets. He made known to king Nebuchadnezzar what will be in days to come. Your dream and visions are these:

I saw a dream that made me afraid. When I saw this vision my thoughts troubled me.


Eli was lying down in his usual place. His eyes became dim and he could not see. The lamp of God went out in the Temple of Jehovah. Samuel was lying down where the Ark of God was. Jehovah called Samuel. He answered: Here am I. read more.
He ran to Eli and said: Here I am. You called me? I did not call you, Eli replied. Go back to bed. So Samuel went back to bed. Jehovah called Samuel again. Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said: Here I am. You called me. Eli responded: I did not call you, son. Go back to bed. Samuel had no experience with Jehovah, because the word of Jehovah had not yet been revealed to him. Jehovah called Samuel a third time. Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said: Here I am. You called me! Eli realized (discerned) that Jehovah was calling the boy. Go, lie down, Eli told Samuel. When he calls you, say: Speak Jehovah I am listening. So Samuel went back to bed in his room. Jehovah came and stood there. He called as he had called the other times: Samuel! Samuel! Samuel replied: Speak! Your servant is listening. Jehovah said to Samuel: I will do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears it tingle. On that day I am going to do to Eli and his family everything I said from beginning to end. I told him I would hand down a long lasting judgment against his household because he knew about his sons' sin. They were cursing God but he did not restrain them. I have taken an oath concerning Eli's family line. No offering or sacrifice will ever be able to make peace for the sins that Eli's family committed. Samuel remained in bed until morning. Then he opened the doors of Jehovah's house. But Samuel was afraid to tell Eli about the vision.


The disciple Ananias was in Damascus. The Lord spoke to Ananias in a vision: Ananias. He replied: Yes, I am here, Lord. The Lord said to him, Arise, and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus for he is praying.


In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw (discerned) Jehovah seated on a throne, high and exalted. The train of his robe filled the Temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. They called to one another: Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of Hosts. All the earth is full of his glory. read more.
At the sound of their voices the foundations and thresholds trembled and the Temple was filled with smoke. Woe to me! I cried. I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips (a sinner) and I live among a people of unclean (filthy) lips (speech) (language). My eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of Hosts. Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand. With tongs he seized it from the altar. He touched my mouth with it and said: See! This has touched your lips, your guilt is taken away and your sin forgiven (pardoned) (atoned for). I heard the voice of Jehovah. He said: Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said: Here I am. Send me!




The next day they journeyed to the city. As they drew near, Peter went to the housetop to pray. It was about the sixth hour. He became very hungry. While the meal was being prepared he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened, something like a great sheet lowered by the four corners was descending to the earth. read more.
In it were all kinds of animals, reptiles and birds. Peter heard a voice say: Kill and eat. But Peter said: No Lord for I have never eaten any thing that is defiled or unclean. The voice spoke to him again the second time: You stop calling defiled that which God has cleansed. This happened a third time and immediately the sheet was taken up to heaven. While Peter doubted in himself what this vision ment, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius inquired for Simon's house, and stood at the gate.


There the angel of Jehovah appeared to him in a flame of fire coming from the middle of a bush. Moses saw that the bush was on fire but that it was not burning up. This is strange, he thought. Why is the bush not burning up? I will go closer and see.




I am with disturbing thoughts from visions in the night, when deep sleep falls on people. Fear and trembling came over me, and all my bones shook. A spirit passed in front of me. It made my hair stand on end. read more.
Something stood there. I could not tell what it was. A vague image was in front of my eyes. I heard a soft voice say:


About the ninth hour of the day he clearly saw a vision. An angel of God came to him and said, Cornelius.


I have given one hundred and fifteen tons of the finest gold and two hundred and sixty five tons of pure silver for decorating the walls of the Temple

I will give to those within my Temple and its walls a memorial and a name that is better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.


Where the road went through the vineyards, it was narrow, with stonewalls on both sides. Now the angel of Jehovah stood there.

It was all grown over with thorns and nettles, and the wall of stone was broken down.


Saul balanced the spear in his hand and said: I will give David a blow! I will pin him to the wall. David got away from him twice.


The people who live there are strong. The cities have walls and are very large. We even saw the descendants of Anak there.


He removed the crown of their god Milcom from off the head of their king. The crown was made of seventy-five pounds of gold. There was a valuable jewel on it. David put the jewel on his own crown. He also carried off everything else of value.

There fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent (45 to 100 pounds). Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for the plague was exceeding great.


One shekel must weigh twenty gerahs. One mina must weigh sixty shekels.'

Some of the heads of families gave to the store for the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand, two hundred pounds of silver.


Everyone included in the census must pay the required amount of money. It should be weighed according to the official standard. Everyone must pay this as an offering to me.

One shekel must weigh twenty gerahs. One mina must weigh sixty shekels.'

When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a fifth of an ounce and two gold bracelets weighing four ounces.


David grew homesick. He said: I wish someone would bring me a drink of water from the well by the gate at Bethlehem!

David said with longing: Oh, that someone would give me a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate! So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate. They took it to David. Nevertheless David would not drink it, but poured it out to Jehovah.


From there they went on to a place called Wells, where Jehovah said to Moses: Bring the people together, and I will give them water. The people of Israel sang this song: Wells, produce your water; And we will greet it with a song. The well dug by princes and by leaders of the people, dug with a royal scepter and with their walking sticks. They moved from the wilderness to Mattanah,


He said: You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand so that it may be a witness to me, that I dug this well. Therefore he called that place Beer-sheba, because there the two of them took an oath.


When all the flocks came together there, the shepherds would roll the stone back and water them. Then they would put the stone back in place. Jacob asked the shepherds: Where are you from? They answered: We are from Haran.


That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi (Well of the Living One Who Sees Me). It is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.


He moved on from there and dug another well. They did not quarrel over this one. So he named it Rehoboth (Roomy). He said: Now Jehovah has made room for us. We will prosper in this land.


They dug another well. And they quarreled over that one too. So Isaac named it Sitnah (Accusation).


Then God opened her eyes. She saw a well of water. She filled the skin with water and gave the lad a drink.

Then they went to Elim. There were twelve springs and seventy palm trees. They camped there by the water.


Jacob's well was there. It was about the sixth hour when Jesus arrived. Being weary from the journey he sat down by the well.


The east wind carries him off. He is gone and it sweeps him out of his place.

The people of Ephraim have become important among their relatives. However, Jehovah's scorching wind will come from the east. It will blow out of the desert. Then their springs will run dry, and their wells will dry up. The wind will destroy every precious thing in their storehouses.

Though it is transplanted, will it thrive? Will it not completely wither as soon as the east wind strikes it, wither on the beds where it grew?'



(The Shulamite) Awake, O north wind; and come south; blow upon my garden that the spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.


It happened that night. Jehovah's angel killed one hundred and eighty five thousand soldiers in the Assyrian camp. The next morning the Judeans saw all the corpses.

I am going to put a spirit in him so that he will hear a rumor and return to his own country. I will have him assassinated in his own country.'


When you see a south wind blowing, you say there will be scorching heat and there is.

You whose garments are hot, when the land is still because of the south wind?
