301: 2 Esdras 14: 90 AD. Creation date: 5440 BC
And now I say to you: Lay up in your heart the signs that I have shown you, the dreams that you have seen, and the interpretations that you have heard; for you shall be taken up from among humankind, and henceforth you shall live with my Son and with those who are like you, until the times are ended. The age has lost its youth, and the times begin to grow old. For the ... Conclusion: 1. Although we do not know who the real author of "2 Esdras" is, it provides an important historical window into first century Jewish messianic thinking. 2. What is clear, is that 2 Esdras was using the chronological numbers in the Septuagint and the Hebrew Bible. 3.
