Chapter LIII Summary
People bring gifts to a deep valley, but it never fills up. Sinners hurt and eat those they oppress, but they will be destroyed and banished forever. Angels of punishment prepare tools for the kings and powerful people of the earth to destroy them. After this, the righteous and chosen one will show his gathering place. It will no longer be blocked in the name of the Lord of Spirits. The mountains will not stay as they are, but the hills will flow like water. The righteous will rest from the oppression of sinners.
I saw a deep valley with wide openings. Everyone on earth, in the sea, and on the islands will bring gifts, presents, and tokens of respect to it. But the valley will never be full.
2Their hands do wicked things, and the sinners oppress and consume everyone they can. But the sinners will be destroyed in the presence of the Lord of Spirits. They will be banished from His earth and will be gone forever.
3I saw all the punishment angels there, getting ready all the tools of Satan.
4I asked the angel of peace who was with me, "Who are these tools being prepared for?"
5He told me, "These are being prepared for the kings and powerful people of this world, so they can be destroyed through them."
6The Righteous and Chosen One will then reveal the gathering place of his people, and from that point on, they will no longer be prevented from using the name of the Lord of Spirits.
7These mountains will not endure in the face of God's justice. Instead, the hills will flow like a fountain of water, and the righteous will find peace, free from the oppression of sinners.
