For the vision is yet for the appointed time, but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie; though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay”. عَلَى مَرْصَدِي أَقِفُ، وَعَلَى الْحِصْنِ أَنْتَصِبُ، وَأُرَاقِبُ لأَرَى مَاذَا يَقُولُ لِي، وَمَاذَا أُجِيبُ عَنْ شَكْوَايَ. فَأَجَابَنِي الرَّبُّ وَقَالَ: «اكْتُبِ الرُّؤْيَة وَانْقُشْهَا عَلَى الأَلْوَاحِ لِكَيْ يَرْكُضَ قَارِئُهَا، لأَنَّ الرُّؤْيَة بَعْدُ إِلَى الْمِيعَادِ، وَفِي النِّهَايَةِ تَتَكَلَّمُ وَلاَ تَكْذِبُ. إِنْ تَوَانَتْ فَانْتَظِرْهَا لأَنَّهَا سَتَأْتِي إِتْيَانًا وَلاَ تَتَأَخَّرُ“
