[THE DREAM-VISIONS. The Advent of the Seven Archangels.] [1]And again I saw how they began to gore each other and to devour each other, and the earth began to cry aloud, [2]And I raised mine eyes again to heaven, and I saw in the vision, and behold there came forth from heaven beings who were like white men: and four went forth from that place and three with them, [3]And those three that had last come forth grasped me by my hand and took me up, away from the generations of the earth, and raised me up to a lofty place, and showed me a tower raised high above the earth, and all the hills were lower, [4]And one said unto me: Remain here till thou seest everything that befalls those elephants, camels, and asses, and the stars and the oxen, and all of them.
