A Flying Scroll

5I looked up again and saw a scroll flying through the air.H7725H5375H5869H7200H5774H4039 2“What do you see?” the angel asked. “I see a flying scroll,” I replied. “It appears to be about 30 feet long and 15 feet wide.”H559H7200H559H7200H5774H4039H753H6242H520H7341H6235H520 3Then he said to me, “This scroll contains the curse that is going out over the entire land. One side of the scroll says that those who steal will be banished from the land; the other side says that those who swear falsely will be banished from the land.H559H423H3318H6440H776H1589H5352H3644H7650H5352H3644 4And this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: I am sending this curse into the house of every thief and into the house of everyone who swears falsely using my name. And my curse will remain in that house and completely destroy it—even its timbers and stones.”H3318H5002H3068H6635H935H1004H1590H1004H7650H8267H8034H3885H8432H1004H3615H6086H68

A Woman in a Basket

5Then the angel who was talking with me came forward and said, “Look up and see what’s coming.”H4397H1696H3318H559H5375H5869H7200H3318 6“What is it?” I asked. He replied, “It is a basket for measuring grain, and it’s filled with the sins of everyone throughout the land.”H559H559H374H3318H559H5869H776 7Then the heavy lead cover was lifted off the basket, and there was a woman sitting inside it.H5375H3603H5777H259H802H3427H8432H374 8The angel said, “The woman’s name is Wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and closed the heavy lid again.H559H7564H7993H8432H374H7993H68H5777H6310 9Then I looked up and saw two women flying toward us, gliding on the wind. They had wings like a stork, and they picked up the basket and flew into the sky.H5375H5869H7200H3318H8147H802H7307H3671H2007H3671H3671H2624H5375H374H776H8064 10“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel.H559H4397H1696H3212H374 11He replied, “To the land of Babylonia, where they will build a temple for the basket. And when the temple is ready, they will set the basket there on its pedestal.”H559H1129H1004H776H8152H3559H3240H4369
