Syriac Apocalypse

But regarding consolation, hear ye the word.

2For I was mourning regarding Zion, and I prayed for mercy from the Most High, and I said:

3"How long will these things endure for us? And will these evils come upon us always?"

4And the Mighty One did according to the multitude of His mercies, and the Most High according to the greatness of His compassion, and He revealed unto me the word, that I might receive consolation, and He showed me visions that I should not again endure anguish, and He made known to me the mystery of the times, and the advent of the hours He showed me.
