File:Ezra's vision of the Eagle and the Lion - Bruyn.jpg

Summary[edit]

The archangel Uriel shows the exiled prophet Ezra, in vision, a latter-day "little kingdom" of 'righteous ones' ("a plant of a great people" - 4 Ezra 9:21). He beholds its 'forest lion' leader of righteousness come roaring out of a wood, speaking with a human voice to "the eagle ... rebuking her for her unrighteousness" and announcing the end of the Age and of all evil. "This lion," says Uriel, "is the Anointed One, whom the Most High has kept unto the end of days" (Ezra 12:31) — a prophet, priest and king who sits in mighty judgement among his own people. Ezra witnesses the little kingdom transform into a great "Mount Zion" that has been "graven without hands" — in fact, Daniel's latter-day "kingdom" that began as a "small stone cut out without hands" and rolled forth to fill "the whole earth" - Dan 2:34-35.
