2 BARUCH 4
The New Yerusalem
4:1 And YAHWEH said to me: This city will be delivered up for a time, And the people will be chastened for a time, And the world will not be forgotten.
4:2 Or do you think that this is the city of which I said: On the palms of MY hands I have carved you?
4:3 It is not this building that is in your midst now; it is that which will be revealed, with ME, that was already prepared from the moment that I decided to create Paradise. And I showed it to Adam before he sinned. But when he transgressed the commandment, it was taken away from him - as also Paradise.
4:4 After these things I showed it to MY servant Abraham in the night between the portions of the victims.
4:5 And again I showed it also to Mosheh on Mount Sinai when I showed him the likeness of the tabernacle and all its vessels.
4:6 Behold, now it is preserved with ME - as also Kingdom Paradise.
4:7 Now go away and do as I command you.
