³⁶ Flee from the shadow of this age, receive the joy of your glory; I publicly call on my Savior to witness.^{[a] 37} Receive what the Lord has entrusted to you and be joyful, giving thanks to him who has called you to heavenly kingdoms. ³⁸ Rise and stand, and see at the feast of the Lord the number of those who have been sealed. ³⁹ Those who have departed from the shadow of this age have received glorious garments from the Lord. ⁴⁰ Take again your full number, O Zion, and conclude the list of your people who are clothed in white, who have fulfilled the law of the Lord.

Ezra Sees the Son of God

⁴² I, Ezra, saw on Mount Zion a great multitude, which I could not number, and they all were praising the Lord with songs. ⁴³ In their midst was a young man of great stature, taller than any of the others, and on the head of each of them he placed a crown, but he was more exalted than they. And I was held spellbound. ⁴⁴ Then I asked an angel, “Who are these, my lord?” ⁴⁵ He answered and said to me, “These are they who have put off mortal clothing and have put on the immortal, and they have confessed the name of God; now they are being crowned, and receive palms.” ⁴⁶ Then I said to the angel, “Who is that young man who places crowns on them and puts palms in their hands?” ⁴⁷ He answered and said to me, “He is the Son of God, whom they confessed in the world.” So I began to praise those who had stood valiantly for the name of the Lord.
