God told Abraham to look beneath his feet at the firmaments and understand the creation that was foreshadowed in the expanse, the creatures existing upon it, and the age prepared according to it.
Abraham looked down. The six heavens opened below him, and then the earth itself, and he saw everything.
He saw the earth and its fruits. Everything that moved upon it and its living creatures. The power of its men. The ungodliness of their souls. Their righteous deeds. The beginnings of their works.
He saw the lower regions and the perdition within them. The Abyss and its torments. The place where the impure angels dwell, the pit described in the visions of Enoch, the underworld reserved for those who chose darkness.
He saw the sea and its islands, its monsters and fish. He saw Leviathan and his dominion, the great sea-beast whose dwelling is in the lowest waters, whose fins support the middle bar of the earth, whose hunger sends forth a heat so great that all the waters of the deep boil. Abraham saw Leviathan's camping-ground, his caves, the world that lay upon him, his movements, and the destructions of the world on his account.
He saw the streams and the rising of their waters and their windings.
And he saw the Garden of Eden. Its fruits. The source of the stream issuing from it. Its trees and their blossoms. Those who behaved righteously dwelling within it, eating its food in blessedness. The heavenly Paradise, the abode prepared for the righteous, whose fruits are incorruptible and whose tree of life stands at its center.
Then Abraham saw a great multitude: men, women, and children. Half of them stood on the right side of the picture. Half stood on the left. The entire world divided into two halves, and Abraham stood above it all, watching.
