2 Esdras is a must-read book in the KJV Apocrypha, adding significant detail about the end times events, the second coming of Christ, Daniel’s vision, great tribulation, the resurrections and it even names Jesus directly (2 Esdras 7:28).
It absolutely destroys the lie in the church buildings that Jesus hasn’t returned yet, as well as the little season theory, which states that we are still waiting for the new earth. God tells Esdras, who wrote during the Medo Persian empire (2 Esdras 1:3), that he was already 87.5% towards the end of the world:
2 Esdras 14:10-12
10 For the world hath lost his youth, and the times begin to wax old.
11 For the world is divided into twelve parts, and the ten parts of it are gone already, and half of a tenth part:
12 And there remaineth that which is after the half of the tenth part.
“And therefore I say unto you, O ye heathen, that hear and understand, look for your Shepherd, he shall give you everlasting rest; for he is nigh at hand, that shall come in the end of the world.” (2 Esdras 2:34)
“… for the world hasteth fast to pass away” (2 Esdras 4:26)
Armageddon (the day of the Lord) was the end of the world, when heaven and earth passed away (see meltology evidence). New earth is not a whole new creation as per 2 Peter 3.
In 2 Esdras chapter 13 in a prophecy concerning the day of the Lord, God says the ten lost tribes of Israel were gathered to a region called “Arsareth”, where they waited until the “latter time” for God to “stay the springs of the stream” to allow them to reach the Holy Land (2 Esdras 13:39-50).
Arsareth is located in far north Siberia on several old maps. On the 1587 Urbano Monte map, the text below Arsareth reads: “doue sono diece tribu d’Israel” (translation: “where are the ten tribes of Israel” ).
Some of the maps even have the scripture reference to 2 Esdras right on the map (2 Esdras is called 4 Esdras in some Bible versions).
This matches perfectly with my earlier investigation of 2 Maccabees 12:29, which states Jerusalem is located “six hundred furlongs” (120km) from “Scythopolis”. Scythia is Siberia.
I have consistently said the real Jerusalem is located around magnetic north in far north Siberia. You can find all my previous posts on this topic here.
I believe we redeemed have to step out in faith and make the journey to New Jerusalem, just like Jesus tells us to do on the last page of the Bible. The tree of life is inside Jerusalem, but outside of the gates where we are, sin, liars and sorcerers still exist:
Revelation 22:14-17
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Anyone telling you we are currently in the end times is a wolf in sheep’s clothing who doesn’t believe Jesus when he said clearly that he was returning quickly to the same generation, not 2000 years later.
The apostles all said they were living in the last days, at the end of the world. Revelation says in the first and last chapter it concerns events that would soon come to pass.
2 Esdras confirms the rest of the Bible such as Isaiah which says God’s people dwell with him inside Jerusalem:
“Thus saith the Lord unto Esdras, Tell my people that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I would have given unto Israel.” (2 Esdras 2:10)
“They shall have the tree of life for an ointment of sweet savour; they shall neither labour, nor be weary.” (2 Esdras 2:12)
2 Esdras 5:24-25
24 And of all lands of the whole world thou hast chosen thee one pit: and of all the flowers thereof one lily:
25 And of all the depths of the sea thou hast filled thee one river: and of all builded cities thou hast hallowed Sion unto thyself:
On both the Urbano Monte map and the Mercator map of the north pole region there is much land at the north pole, but the actual magnetic pole is not in the geographic centre. Instead, magnetic north is depicted as a mountain just off the coast of Siberia (close to where Arsareth is):
Interestingly on the Urbano Monte map on the right above, there is extra land shown vaguely in pencil but not filled in with colour. You can view a high resolution version of this map here.
Several other old maps actually show land in this area connecting northern Siberia to the lands around the geographic north pole (see gallery below).
I believe the magnetic north pole is actually where the real Mount Zion and Jerusalem is. The compass has pointed the way to the Holy Land all along.
If it is in this location and not at the geographic centre, it would literally be on the “sides of the north”, as it says in scripture:
“Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.” (Psalm 48:2)
When God said he would stay the streams in 2 Esdras, perhaps this explains why the land bridge from Siberia to the north pole region is not always visible, as it is on these maps (click the thumbnails):
New Jerusalem came down after the end times Armageddon events, not at the end of the little season like some liars say. 2 Esdras confirms this, referring to the New Jerusalem “bride” we see coming down in Revelation 21.2:
“Behold, the time shall come, that these tokens which I have told thee shall come to pass, and the bride shall appear, and she coming forth shall be seen, that now is withdrawn from the earth. And whosoever is delivered from the foresaid evils shall see my wonders.” (2 Esdras 7:26-27)
In 2 Esdras chapter 7, God explains why he places his people among the heathen:
2 Esdras 7:9-14
9 If this city now were given unto a man for an inheritance, if he never shall pass the danger set before it, how shall he receive this inheritance?
10 And I said, It is so, Lord. Then said he unto me, Even so also is Israel’s portion.
11 Because for their sakes I made the world: and when Adam transgressed my statutes, then was decreed that now is done.
12 Then were the entrances of this world made narrow, full of sorrow and travail: they are but few and evil, full of perils,: and very painful.
13 For the entrances of the elder world were wide and sure, and brought immortal fruit.
14 If then they that live labour not to enter these strait and vain things, they can never receive those that are laid up for them.
On most flat earth maps including Gleason’s, North America is located right next to Siberia across the “strait”.
“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Matthew 7:14)
On the 1587 Urbano Monte map we see “Sierra Nevada” labelled (on the right below):
In the gallery below I have included other maps showing Arsareth in northern Siberia, as well as references to biblical lands such as Dan, Naphtali and Tabor around the same location.
Siberia is also where the land of Gog and Magog is on maps, which is referenced in Revelation when the armies attack the camp of the saints at the end of Satan’s little season.
On the below map, the strait of Anian between Siberia and America is renamed the Bhering’s strait, but all along east Asia there are biblical names including reference to the “transfiguration”:
While many old maps show significant land around the geographic north pole, today’s cartographers will have you believe there’s nothing there. However if you go on the earth.nullschool website and change the mode to “ocean”, you can see the land re-appear at the north pole:
The KJV Authorised Version always included the Apocrypha, but separated it out from the Old and New Testaments. It was only in the 1800s that they began selling KJVs without the Apocrypha. Now there are only a couple of Cambridge KJV versions that include the Apocrypha.
I believe the propaganda against the Apocrypha and efforts to remove it are partly because it helps show the true location of biblical Israel. The official narrative states the KJV Apocrypha was only included at the behest of the Roman Catholic church, and that it was Roman Catholic priests who first gave us the scriptures in English – in my opinion this is complete rubbish fake history, and the protestant reformation probably never even happened.
The original Hebrew and Greek does not exist, God’s word in English is the KJV Authorised Version. I believe the scriptures 100%, but I don’t believe the mainstream narrative about how we got our Bible.
Even in 2 Esdras itself, God tells Esdras to write many books but says some of them are only meant for those who are wise (2 Esdras 14:46). The term “apocrypha” itself means to hide away.
Terre de Iesso
Some of those who say we are currently in Satan’s little season have leapt on French maps showing “Terre de Iesso” just above Japan. They claim that this is where the camp of the saints is, the “land of Jesus”.
While it’s still in Asia, I believe they are mistaken, as Iesso is not translated as Jesus, and the land identified on these maps is actually Hokkaido. This is far below where I believe the Holy Land actually is.
The mistake is based on the fact that Hokkaido has been called Ezo, Yezo and Yeso in the past.
I don’t believe those promoting the little season theory are honest, and I have shown from the scriptures why it is incorrect here and here. New Jerusalem is already here, and the shills want you looking anywhere but Siberia.
I have included the maps related to Terre de Iesso in the gallery below (click on the thumbnails to open larger size), so you can look at it yourself and make up your own mind:
