Concerning a prophetic reading I have thought that your sanctity should be consulted, a copy of which reading I have appended below. And so, whether these times have already been, or are yet to come, may you deign to declare by your writing: 'Out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem; and he shall judge among many peoples, and rebuke strong nations even afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; and nation shall no longer lift up sword against nation, neither shall they stand to make war any more' (Isa. 2:5,4). And: 'Every man shall rest under his own vine and under his own fig tree; and there shall be none to make them afraid' (cf. 1 Kings 4:25).
