he called them all by their respective names, and that they heard. In a
righteous balance I saw that he weighed out with their light the
amplitude of their places, and the day of their appearance,[92] and
their conversion. Splendour produced splendour; and their conversion
_was_ into the number of the angels, and of the faithful.
2. Then I inquired of the angel, who proceeded with me, and explained to
me secret things, What _their names_ were. He answered, A similitude of
those has the Lord of spirits shown thee. They are names of the
righteous who dwell upon earth, and who believe in the name of the Lord
of spirits for ever and for ever.
