God is making a distinction between this world and the next.
“Things that are present are for those who live now, and things that are future are for those who will live hereafter.
My understanding of this is that people are saved on account of his works and not by simply believing Jesus died for their sins. Is this right?
7: And it shall be that every one who will be saved and will be able to escape on account of his works, or on account of the faith by which he has believed,
My understanding is that repenting and keeping the law was their opportunity of repentance. Is this right.
11: and as many as scorned my law while they still had freedom, and did not understand but
despised it while an opportunity of repentance was still open to them,

I'm sure somebody else will probably have a different interpretation of it.
So what is your message? If its just "this is an interesting passage", I understand. But if not... why do you post scripture?
Water is the baptism we are here to use as repentance.
Your question was concerning few or many being saved.

Why water? There' so much of it I can't for the life of me figure out why it's so special.

My question was what are the readers of this thread supposed to be looking for in Esdras 2?
10 different people will interpret the chapter in 10 different ways.
If there is a message in Esdras 2 that you are trying to point to, what is it?
"All of Gods word is not included in the 66 books of the Bible or in ANY Bible that you can find today."
