On the fifth day of the fourth month of the thirtieth year of the exile to Babylon, while I was among the captives on the bank of the Chebar River, heaven opened up and I saw visions from God.





As high as heaven rises above earth, so his gracious love strengthens those who fear him.

The LORD is exalted high above all the nations; his glory beyond the heavens.

The heavens revealed his justice, for God is himself the judge. Interlude

I will display wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth below: blood, fire, and clouds of smoke. The sun will become dark, and the moon turn to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.

Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does awesome deeds. And blessed be his glorious name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and amen!
