Wonders and powerful works - groundhog day

II Edras Chapter 9

He answered me then, and said, Measure thou the time diligently in itself: and when thou understand, that it is the very same time, wherein the Highest will begin to visit the world which he made.
Therefore when there shall be seen earthquakes and uproars of the people in the world:
Then shalt thou well understand, that the Most High spake of those things from the days that were before thee, even from the beginning.
For like as all that is made in the world hath a beginning and end, and the end is manifest:
Even so the times also of The Highest have plain beginnings in wonders and powerful works, and endings in effects and signs.
And every one that shall be saved, and shall be able to escape by his works, and by faith, whereby ye have believed,
Shall be preserved from the said perils, and shall see my salvation in my land, and within my borders: for I have sanctified them for me from the beginning.
Then shall they be in pitiful case, which now have abused my ways: and they that have cast them away despitefully shall dwell in torments.
For such in their life have received benefits, and have not known me;
And they that have lothed my law, while they had yet liberty, and when as yet place of repentance was open to them, understood not, but despised it;
The same must know it after death by pain.
And therefore be thou not curious how the ungodly shall be punished, and when: but inquire how the righteous shall be saved, whose the world is, and for whom the world is created.

For at the end, death will flee from them.
