We will vet this book and 1st Esdras and prove it was written prior to the New Testament and is the origin of the words of Messiah and the Apostles many times especially the Book of Revelation. There is a reason this book as well as 1st Esdras both remain in some Bibles today as scripture and their historicity is not debatable as they appear in the 1560 Geneva Bible and Original, Authorized 1611 King James Version. Translators did not waste their time translating this into English as they did scripture for no reason. If you are KJV Only, you may want to look at the original 1611 version which included both of these books.
In this annotation of 2nd Esdras with 1st Esdras, we have restored the Original 1611 King James Version and revised the English, curated margin notes, and provided detailed explanations including charts, maps, etc. We have also restored the Hebrew name of YHWH, Yahuah, for "the Lord" throughout as well as other Hebrew names in some cases. This should be done in all of scripture as His very name is there in Hebrew over 6,800 times in the Old Testament. Our introduction unveils our research on who lived in Qumran (not Essenes), the identity of the Qumran Priests, who defiled the Temple, vets Hanukkah, and Purim as well the Book of Esther, Messiah in Esdras, the name of YHWH in Esdras, etc.
We are not scholars and this is an educated layman's view of 1st and 2nd Esdras which many will find more valuable than most scholarly approaches. This work will teach and draw conclusions.
In these days of increasing knowledge, some such knowledge is actually ancient knowledge restored. We believe you will find this is the case with 2nd Esdras as well as 1st Esdras.
