31、这时，我看见大量天使灵从低地上来，被提入天堂。他们是绵羊，在过去的几个世纪里一直被主保守和保护，免得他们进入从龙族所流出的恶毒气场，使他们的仁爱被扼杀。他们就是圣言中“从坟墓里出来的”，和“为给耶稣作见证而被杀”、从睡梦中醒来之人的灵魂，以及于“头一次复活”有份的所表示的人。
31. Then I saw angelic spirits rising from the lower regions in great numbers and being lifted up into heaven. These were the sheep, individuals from previous centuries who had been held there and protected by the Lord so that they would not be overcome by the malignant aura that flowed out from the dragon and so that their caring would not be suffocated by it.
These are the people meant in the Word by the ones who woke up and came out of their graves, by the souls of those who had been killed because of their testimony for Jesus, and by those who were part of the first resurrection.
31. Then I saw a vast number of angelic spirits rising from the depths and being lifted up to heaven. These were the sheep, who had been kept back and guarded by the Lord for centuries past, to prevent them from coming into the malign sphere of influence emanating from the dragon-people and having their charity stifled. These are the people meant in the Word by those who came out of their graves, and by the souls of those slain for bearing witness to Jesus, who awoke from sleep; and by those of the first resurrection.
31. I then saw angelic spirits in great numbers rising from below, and elevated into heaven, who were the sheep, there reserved and guarded by the Lord for ages back, lest they should come into the malignant sphere flowing forth from dragonists, and their charity be suffocated. These are they, who are meant in the Word, by "those who went forth from the sepulchers"; also, by "the souls of those slain for the testimony of Jesus," who were watching; and by those "who are of the first resurrection."
31. Vidi tunc angelicos spiritus ex inferis assurgentes in multa copia, et elevatos in caelum, qui fuerunt oves, ibi reservati et custoditi a Domino a saeculis retro, ne venirent in malignam sphaeram a draconicis effluentem, et charitas eorum suffocaretur. Hi sunt qui intelliguntur in Verbo per "exeuntes e sepulcris;" tum per "animas occisorum propter testimonium Jesu," qui evigilarunt; et per illos "qui e resurrectione prima sunt."
