44. Yea, when Thou comest down, and the mountains flow down at
Thy presence, Thou shalt meet him who rejoiceth and worketh
righteousness, who remembereth Thee in Thy ways.
45. For since the beginning of the world have not men heard nor
perceived by the ear, neither hath any eye seen, O God, besides
Thee, how great things Thou hast prepared for him that waiteth for
Thee.
46. And it shall be said: Who is this that cometh down from God
in heaven with dyed garments; yea from the regions which are not
known, clothed in His glorious apparel, traveling in the greatness

48. And the Lord shall be red in His apparel, and His garments like
him that treadeth in the wine vat,
49. And so great shall be the glory of His presence that the sun

and Moses also and they who were before him.
55. And from Moses to Elijah, and from Elijah to John, who were

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, shall be in the presence of the Lamb.
56. And the graves of the saints shall be opened; and they shall
come forth and stand on the right hand of the Lamb, when He shall
stand upon Mount Zion, and upon the holy city the New Jerusalem;
and they shall sing the song of the Lamb, day and night for ever
