When it was about nine o’clock in the morning, he went out again and saw others standing around in the marketplace without work.

And about five o’clock that afternoon he went out and found others standing around, and said to them, ‘Why are you standing here all day without work?’

“We found the jail locked securely and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth so no wind could blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree.

Then I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had conquered the beast and his image and the number of his name. They were standing by the sea of glass, holding harps given to them by God.

And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Then books were opened, and another book was opened – the book of life. So the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds.
