1. I saw the wonders of the winds
and how He provisioned them
with all of creation
within the universe’s foundations.
2. Then I saw the cornerstone
were the four winds
of heaven and earth.
3. Then I saw the winds reach
into the spans of heaven
within pillars that stood
between heaven and earth.
4. I saw heavenly winds
that curve the sun and stars
directing them
as they rise and set.
5. I saw winds carrying clouds.
I saw the paths of angels.
6. I saw end of the universe
and the firmament of heaven.
As I went I saw the place
where fires burn constantly
where there are seven pinnacles
filled with magnificent stones.
7. Three of these face the east
and three face the south.
The east-facing pinnacles were colorful
with one shining of pearl
another with jacinth.
The south-facing pinnacles were red.
8. But one in between
reached up into heaven
as if it were God’s throne.
9. It was made of alabaster
and its summit made of sapphire.
10. Then I saw flames of fire
and beyond these pinnacles
a region beyond the physical world
where the heavens were finished.
11. There I saw a deep cavern
with plumes of heavenly flames
and among them I saw plumes
of the fire descending
beyond measure or similarity
for height and the depth.
12. Beyond that cavern
I saw a place with no firmament
from the heavens above
and no earth as its foundation
and no waters upon it
and no birds above it.
It was a horrible waste land.
13. There I saw seven stars
beaming like burning pinnacles.
14. Then I inquired about them
and the angel told me
this is the end of heaven and earth
a restraint for the stars
and the host of heaven.
15. Then the stars rose not
at their appointed times
but turned over the heat
that contradicted instructions
of the Almighty.
16. He was not pleased by this
so they were restricted
and suffered consequences
for ten thousand years.
