1 When she had shown me these things, she wanted to leave quickly. I said to her, “Lady, what good is it for me to have seen these things, and yet not to know what they mean?” She answered me, “You are a very curious man, wanting to know all about the tower.” “Yes, lady,” I said, “so that I may tell my brothers and sisters, and they may be more joyful, and when they hear these things they may know the Lord in great glory.” Then she said, 2 “Many will hear; but when they hear, some of them will be glad, and others will weep. Yet even these, if they hear and repent, will also be glad. So listen to the parables of the tower; for I will reveal everything to you. And do not trouble me any further about revelation; for these revelations have an end, since they are complete. Even so, you will not stop asking for revelations; for you are shameless.” 3 “The tower that you see being built is me, the Church,⁠a which you have seen both now and previously. So ask whatever you want about the tower, and I will reveal it to you, so that you may rejoice with the saints.” 4 I said to her, “Lady, since you have once and for all considered me worthy to have everything revealed to me, reveal it.” Then she said to me, “Whatever can be revealed to you will be revealed. Only let your heart be with God, and do not doubt in your mind about what you see.” 5 I asked her, “Why is the tower built on water, lady?” “I told you before,” she said, “and you certainly ask diligently. By asking you discover the truth. Listen, then, to why the tower is built on water: it is because your life is saved and will be saved by water.⁠b But the tower has been founded by the word of the Almighty and Glorious Name, and is strengthened by the unseen power of the Master.”
