The Holy Scripture
Chapter XXIII
And I answered and said: 'Not so, O LORD, my Lord.'
And He answered and said unto me: 'Why therefore are you troubled about that which you know not, and why are you ill at ease about things in which you are ignorant?
For as you have not forgotten the people who now are and those who have passed away, so I remember those who are appointed to come.
Because when Adam sinned and death was decreed against those who should be born, then the multitude of those who should be born was numbered, and for that number a place was prepared where the living might dwell and the dead might be guarded.
Before therefore the number aforesaid is fulfilled, the creature will not live again [for My spirit is the creator of life], and Sheol will receive the dead.
And again it is given to you to hear what things are to come after these times.
For truly My redemption has drawn nigh, and is not far distant as aforetime. 24. The coming Judgment.
