Sixth Vision: A Flying Scroll
1When I looked the next time, I saw a flying scroll,#5.1 scroll: A roll of paper or special leather used for writing on. 2and the angel asked, “What do you see?”
“A flying scroll,” I answered. “About nine meters long and four and a half meters wide.”
3Then he told me:
This scroll puts a curse on everyone in the land who steals or tells lies. The writing on one side tells about the destruction of those who steal, while the writing on the other side tells about the destruction of those who lie.
4The Lord All-Powerful has said, “I am sending this scroll into the house of everyone who is a robber or tells lies in my name, and it will remain there until every piece of wood and stone in that house crumbles.”
Seventh Vision: A Woman in a Basket
5Now the angel who was there to explain the visions came over and said, “Look up and tell me what you see coming.”
6“I don't know what it is,” was my reply.
“It's a big basket,” he said. “And it shows what everyone in the land has in mind.”#5.6 what … mind: Hebrew; one ancient translation “the sin of everyone in the land.”
7The lead cover of the basket was opened, and in the basket was a woman. 8“This woman represents evil,” the angel explained. Then he threw her back into the basket and slammed the heavy cover down tight.
9Right after this I saw two women coming through the sky with wings outstretched like a stork in the wind. Suddenly they lifted the basket into the air, 10and I asked the angel, “Where are they taking the basket?”
11“To Babylonia,”#5.11 Babylonia: The Hebrew text has “Shinar,” an ancient name for Babylonia. he answered, “where they will build a house for the basket and set it down inside.”

Ang Pangitain tungkol sa Kasulatang Lumilipad
1Muli akong tumingala at may nakita akong kasulatang lumilipad. 2Tinanong ako ng anghel, “Ano ang nakikita mo?” “Isa pong kasulatang lumilipad. Ang haba po nito ay siyam na metro at apat at kalahating metro naman ang lapad,” sagot ko.
3Sinabi niya sa akin, “Diyan nakasulat ang mga sumpa sa daigdig. Sa kabila ay sinasabing aalisin sa lupain ang lahat ng magnanakaw; sa kabila naman ay sinasabing aalisin din ang lahat ng sinungaling. 4Ipadadala ko ito sa sambahayan ng mga magnanakaw at sa sambahayan ng mga sinungaling. Mananatili ito sa sambahayang iyon upang ubusin sila nang lubusan.”
Ang Babae sa Loob ng Malaking Basket
5Lumapit sa akin ang anghel at sinabi, “Tumingala ka at tingnan mo kung ano itong dumarating.”
6“Ano 'yan?” tanong ko sa kanya.
“Iyan ay isang malaking basket. Inilalarawan niyan ang kasalanan ng buong sanlibutan,” sagot niya. 7Bumukas ang tinggang takip nito at nakita kong may isang babaing nakaupo sa loob ng malaking basket.
8Sinabi sa akin ng anghel, “Iyan si Kasamaan.” At itinulak niya ito pabalik sa loob ng kaing at muling sinarhan. 9Nang ako'y tumingala, may nakita akong dalawang babaing lumilipad papunta sa akin; malalapad ang kanilang pakpak. Pinagtulungan nilang ilipad na palayo ang malaking basket. 10Tinanong ko ang anghel, “Saan nila iyon dadalhin?”
11Sumagot siya, “Sa Babilonia. Gagawa sila ng templo roon upang paglagyan ng malaking basket. Pagkatapos, sasambahin nila ito.”
