Thirty-five shepherds took turns watching over the sheep. Birds of prey started attacking and eating the sheep. The sheep cried out, but the shepherds did little to help. The birds and other animals ate the sheep until only bones were left. The sheep became very few in number. Twenty-three more shepherds took turns watching over the sheep. Some lambs were born to the sheep. The lambs opened their eyes and cried out to the sheep, but the sheep did not listen. The birds of prey attacked and ate the lambs. Horns grew on the lambs, and the birds tried to break them. A big horn grew on one of the sheep, and its eyes opened. It looked at the other sheep, and they all ran to it. The birds and other animals kept attacking and eating the sheep, but the sheep stayed quiet. The rams cried out. The shepherds, birds, and other animals tried to break the horn of the ram. A man who wrote down the names of the shepherds came and helped the ram. The Lord of the sheep came in anger, and all the animals fled from Him. The animals all worked together to break the horn of the ram. The man who wrote the book showed the Lord of the sheep how the last twelve shepherds had destroyed many sheep. The Lord of the sheep got very angry and hit the earth with His staff. The earth split open, and all the animals fell into it and were swallowed up. A throne was set up in a pleasant land, and the Lord of the sheep sat on it. The man who wrote the book opened it in front of the Lord of the sheep. The Lord called for the seven white stars and told the man to bring the seventy shepherds who had hurt the sheep. The stars, shepherds, and blind sheep were all judged and found guilty. They were all thrown into a fiery pit. The old house was taken down and moved to the south. The Lord of the sheep built a new, bigger house. All the sheep and animals went into the new house and did what the sheep told them. The three white men and the ram took the seer and put him in the middle of the sheep. All the sheep were white and had lots of clean wool. All the animals that had been hurt or scattered came into the new house. The Lord of the sheep was very happy because all the sheep were good and had come back to His house. The sword that had been given to the sheep was put away and sealed up. All the sheep were invited into the house, but it was too full. All the sheep's eyes were opened, and they could all see. The house was very big and full. A white bull with big horns was born, and all the animals were afraid of it and asked it for help. The seer slept among the sheep and then woke up. He blessed the Lord of righteousness and gave Him glory. He cried a
I watched as thirty-five shepherds took turns caring for the sheep, each completing their time just like the first ones did. Then, others took their place to care for the sheep during their own time.
I saw in my vision all the birds of the sky coming: eagles, vultures, kites, and ravens. The eagles led them, and they started to eat the sheep, pecking out their eyes and devouring their flesh.
The sheep were crying out because birds were eating their flesh. I watched and felt sad in my dream for the shepherd who was supposed to take care of the sheep.
I watched as the dogs, eagles, and kites devoured the sheep, leaving nothing but bare bones. Even those bones eventually fell to the ground, and the number of sheep greatly decreased.
And I watched as twenty-three leaders each took their turn, completing a total of fifty-eight cycles.
But then, the white sheep gave birth to lambs. These lambs opened their eyes, saw what was happening, and began to cry out to the other sheep.
They called out to them, but they wouldn't listen. They were very deaf and their eyes were completely blinded.
I saw in the vision how the ravens attacked the lambs, took one of them, tore the sheep apart, and ate them.
I watched as horns grew on the lambs, and the ravens lost theirs. Then, a great horn sprouted from one of the sheep, and their eyes were opened.
It looked at them, and their eyes opened. It cried out to the sheep, and the rams saw it and all ran to it.
And even with all this, the eagles, vultures, ravens, and kites continued to attack and eat the sheep, while the sheep stayed quiet and the rams wept and cried out.
The fourth period spans from the time when the Greeks and Syrians ruled until the Maccabees rose up in rebellion.
And I watched as the shepherds, eagles, vultures, and kites gathered. They called to the ravens to attack the ram's horn. A fierce battle began, with the ram fighting back and calling for help.
I watched as the man who had recorded the names of the shepherds and taken them before the Lord of the sheep came down to assist the ram. He helped and showed it everything it needed.
I watched as the Lord of the sheep approached them in anger. Everyone who saw Him ran away, and they all fell into the shadow of His presence.
All the eagles, vultures, ravens, and kites gathered together. Along with them came all the sheep from the field. They all came together and worked together to break the ram's horn.
I saw the man who wrote the book as God commanded him. He opened the book and showed how those twelve last shepherds had caused even greater destruction than those who came before them, all in the sight of the Lord of the sheep.
And I watched as the Lord of the sheep arrived, holding the rod of His anger. He struck the ground, which split open. All the wild animals and birds of the sky fell from among the sheep and were swallowed by the earth, which then closed over them.
In the final days, the nations will gather against the people of Israel.
I watched as a throne was set up in a beautiful place, and the Lord of the sheep sat on it. Then, another took the sealed books and opened them in front of the Lord of the sheep.
God called those men the seven first white ones and told them to bring before Him, starting with the first star that led the way, all the stars whose private parts were like those of horses. They brought them all before Him.
He said to the man who was writing in front of Him, one of the seven white angels, "Take those seventy shepherds to whom I entrusted the sheep, and who, acting on their own, killed more than I instructed them to."
And look, they were all tied up. I saw this, and they all stood before Him.
The judgment began with the stars. They were found guilty and sent to a place of punishment. This place was a deep pit filled with fire, flames, and burning pillars.
The seventy shepherds were judged, found guilty, and thrown into that fiery pit.
I saw a deep pit open in the middle of the earth, filled with fire. They brought those blind sheep, judged them, found them guilty, and threw them into the fiery pit where they burned. This pit was to the right of the house.
The judgment is coming for the fallen angels, the leaders who misled others, and those who abandoned the truth.
I stood and watched as they took apart that old house, removing all the pillars, beams, and decorations. Everything was dismantled at the same time and carried away to a place in the southern part of the land.
The Lord of the sheep built a new, larger, and taller house to replace the old one. Every part of it was new and bigger than the first. All the sheep were inside this new house.
I saw all the remaining sheep, and all the animals on the earth, and all the birds in the sky, bowing down and paying respect to those sheep, asking them for favors, and obeying them in everything.
After that, the three men dressed in white who had earlier taken hold of my hand, along with the ram that had also grabbed me, lifted me up and placed me among the sheep before the judgment began.
All the sheep were completely white, with plenty of clean, thick wool.
All that had been lost and scattered, along with all the animals and birds, gathered in that place, and the Lord of the sheep was filled with great joy because they were all safe and had returned to His home.
I watched until they put away the sword that had been given to the sheep, taking it back into the house where it was sealed in the Lord's presence. Then, all the sheep were invited into that house, but there wasn't enough room for all of them.
Everyone's eyes were opened, and they all saw the good. Not one of them was left without seeing.
I saw that the house was big, spacious, and very crowded.
I saw a white bull being born, with large horns. All the animals of the field and all the birds of the air were afraid of it and kept asking it for help.
The New Jerusalem will descend, the remaining non-Jewish people will turn to God, the righteous will rise from the dead, and the Messiah will come.
I fell asleep among them, and when I woke up, I saw everything.
I had a vision while I was asleep. When I woke up, I praised and gave glory to the Lord of righteousness.
I cried with deep sorrow, and my tears wouldn't stop until I could bear it no longer. I wept because of what I had seen, for everything will happen as shown to me, and all human actions will unfold in their appointed order.
I recalled the first dream that night, and it made me cry and feel uneasy because I had seen that vision.
