1
And after those days in that place where I had seen all the visions of that which is hidden - for I had been carried off in a whirlwind and they had borne me towards the west - 2. There mine eyes saw all the secret things of heaven that shall be, a mountain of iron, and a mountain of copper, and a mountain of silver, and a mountain of gold, and a mountain of soft metal, and a mountain of lead.
3
And I asked the mal’akh who went with me, saying, ‘What things are these which I have seen in secret?’
4
And he said to me: ‘All these things which you have seen shall serve the dominion of His Anointed that he may be potent and mighty on the earth.’
5
And that mal’akh of peace answered, saying to me: ‘Wait a little and there shall be revealed to you all the secret things, which surround the Sovereign of Spirits.
6
And these mountains which yours eyes have seen, The mountain of iron, and the mountain of copper, and the mountain of silver, And the mountain of gold, and the mountain of soft metal, and the mountain of lead, All these shall be in the presence of the Chosen One, As wax before the fire, And like the water which streams down from above [upon those mountains], And they shall become powerless before his feet. 7. And it shall come to pass in those days that none shall be saved, Either by gold or by silver, And none be able to escape. 8. And there shall be no iron for war, Nor shall one clothe oneself with a breastplate. Bronze shall be of no service, And tin [shall be of no service and] shall not be esteemed, And lead shall not be desired. 9. And all these things shall be [denied and] destroyed from the surface of the earth, When the Chosen One shall appear before the face of the Sovereign of Spirits.’
