Publisher's summary

Found in the Apocrypha, The Books of I & II Esdras use supplemental materials taken from II Chronicles and Nehemiah to revise the book of Ezra, which is contained in the Bible. Esdras is the Greek form of Ezra, which is Hebrew. The story about the King of Persia questioning the three young men is found in this book as well. The King asks the three to enter into a debate over his question, "What is the strongest thing in the world?" He promises to reward the winner with a prize. This book is not included in the Roman Catholic Bible.

In The Book of II Esdras, Ezra has conversations with angels who are sent to him so he can question them about theology. There is an amazing account that describes the loss of all Hebrew Scriptures during the Babylonian exile of the Jews. In the story, Ezra recites these Scriptures perfectly, inspired by God. Ezra dictates the Scriptures to five scribes exactly. He also dictated 70 secret books which were to be read only by wise people. Second Esdras is said to be included as one of these 70 additional books.

Must read for the end times

The question is why was this and other books taken out of the Bible? Where are the 240 books that were mentioned in this book? In a hidden library perhaps.

Very enlightening!

How this was not entered into the Holy Bible, such as The King James Version, is obviously a big mistake. Written around the time of Ezra, Jesus, The Son Of God is named and foretold accurately as the Messiah. Amazing!!!
Blessed be the those saints who assembled the Orthodox Bible!!!

Wimpy narrator.

I couldn't deal with this narrator. I need a simple reading of this book and not have it acted out like a children's play. Mr. Rogers sounds like a grizzled biker compared to this wet noodle narrator. Didn't last 10 minutes with this audio version. Just read a book like a normal person please. Why are books related to Christianity read in this style and with music and junk like that? Terrible to pay attention for studying.
