23 the one who brings the dangers in those days will also protect from danger the people who have stored up good works and faithfulness with God the Almighty One.
24 You may be certain that those who survive are far more fortunate than those who die.
25 “This is the meaning of the vision. The man you saw coming up out of the sea
26 represents the one whom God Most High has kept ready for many ages. He will free the world he created and establish the new order for those who survive.
27 You saw the wind, fire, and storm going out of the man's mouth,
28 and you saw that without the use of a spear or any other weapon he destroyed the great crowd that was advancing to attack him. This means that
29 the time is near when God Most High will begin to free the people on earth.
