2 Baruch 68
Future Salvation Brings Joy
Open in the reader →1And the twelfth bright waters that you saw—this is the word:
2After these things a time will come when your people will fall into such distress that they will all be in danger of perishing together.
3Nevertheless, they will be saved, and their enemies will fall before them.
4And at that time they will have much joy.
5And at that time, after a short interval, Zion will be rebuilt, its offerings restored, and the priests will return to their ministry.
6The nations also will come to honor it, but not as fully as before.
7But after these things many nations will fall.
8These are the bright waters that you saw.
