This therefore is the meaning of the vision which you lately saw: You saw a woman mourning, and you began to comfort her: But now you see the likeness of the woman no more, but there appeared unto you a city builded. And whereas she told you of the death of her son, this is the solution: This woman, whom you saw is Sion: and whereas she said unto you, even she whom you see as a city builded, Whereas, I say, she said unto you, that she has been thirty years barren: those are the thirty years wherein there was no offering made in her. But after thirty years Solomon builded the city and offered offerings: and then bare the barren a son. And whereas she told you that she nourished him with labour: that was the dwelling in Jerusalem. But whereas she said unto you, That my son coming into his marriage chamber happened to have a fail, and died: this was the destruction that came to Jerusalem. And, behold, you saw her likeness, and because she mourned for her son, you began to comfort her: and of these things which have chanced, these are to be opened unto you. For now the most High sees that you are grieved unfeignedly, and suffer from your whole heart for her, so has he showed you the brightness of her glory, and the comeliness of her beauty: And therefore I bade you remain in the field where no house was builded: For I knew that the Highest would show this unto you. Therefore I commanded you to go into the field, where no foundation of any building was. For in the place wherein the Highest begins to show his city, there can no man's building be able to stand. And therefore fear not, let not your heart be affrighted, but go your way in, and see the beauty and greatness of the building, as much as your eyes be able to see: And then shall you hear as much as your ears may comprehend. For you are blessed above many other, and are called with the Highest; and so are but few. But to morrow at night you shall remain here; And so shall the Highest show you visions of the high things, which the most High will do unto them that dwell upon the earth in the last days. So I slept that night and another, like as he commanded me.
