The first vision takes place as Ezra is still in <a href="/wiki/Babylon" title="Babylon">Babylon</a>. He asks God how Israel can be kept in misery if God is just. The <a href="/wiki/Archangel" title="Archangel">archangel</a> <a href="/wiki/Uriel" title="Uriel">Uriel</a> is sent to answer the question, responding that God's ways cannot be understood by the human mind. Soon, however, the end would come, and God's justice would be made manifest. Similarly, in the second vision, Ezra asks why Israel was delivered up to the Babylonians, and is again told that man cannot understand this and that the end is near. In the third vision, Ezra asks why Israel does not possess the world. Uriel responds that the current state is a period of transition. Here follows a description of the fate of evil-doers and the righteous. Ezra asks whether the righteous may intercede for the unrighteous on <a href="/wiki/Judgment_Day" class="mw-redirect" title="Judgment Day">Judgment Day</a>, but is told that "Judgment Day is final".<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The next three visions are more symbolic in nature. The fourth is of a woman mourning for her only son. She is transformed into a city when she hears of the desolation of Zion. Uriel says that the woman is a symbol of Zion. The fifth vision concerns an <a href="/wiki/Triple-headed_eagle" title="Triple-headed eagle">eagle with three heads</a> and 20 wings (12 large wings and eight smaller wings "over against them"). The eagle is rebuked by a <a href="/wiki/Lion" title="Lion">lion</a> and then burned. The explanation of this vision is that the eagle refers to the fourth kingdom of the vision of <a href="/wiki/Book_of_Daniel" title="Book of Daniel">Daniel</a>, with the wings and heads as rulers. The final scene is the triumph of the <a href="/wiki/Messiah" title="Messiah">Messiah</a> over the empire. The sixth vision is of a man, representing the Messiah, who breathes fire on a crowd that is attacking him. This man then turns to another peaceful multitude, which accepts him. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cassiodorus_manuscript.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Cassiodorus_manuscript.png/220px-Cassiodorus_manuscript.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="335" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Cassiodorus_manuscript.png/330px-Cassiodorus_manuscript.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Cassiodorus_manuscript.png/440px-Cassiodorus_manuscript.png 2x" data-file-width="564" data-file-height="860" /></a><figcaption>Ezra produces the 94 books (<i><a href="/wiki/Codex_Amiatinus" title="Codex Amiatinus">Codex Amiatinus</a></i>, eighth century)</figcaption></figure> <p>Finally, a vision of the restoration of scripture is related.
