Hierdie artikel wil nie ‘wolf, wolf!’ skreeu nie. Die gevaar om dit te doen ten opsigte van ’n beweging soos die ‘New Age’, is beslis nie denkbeeldig nie. Dit is immers streng genome nie ’n ‘beweging’ nie, nog minder ’n vereniging waarby jy as lid kan aansluit. Dit is eerder ’n onsigbare lewensopvatting wat ons huise ongemerk inkom. Juis dit kan ’n mens in die versoeking bring om ’n heksejagtery op tou te sit en die ‘vyand’ agter elke deur te soek. In hierdie artikel word gepoog om die nodige nugterheid te behou.

This article argues that the imagery of childbearing serves as a narrative motif in 4 Ezra. Language of fertility and birth appears regularly in Ezra's theodicy and his quest for knowledge.

These numerous references to fecundity convey the theme of Ezra's movement toward understanding, leading him toward the pivotal moment when an actual childbearing woman appears before him. By joining in her lament for a precious son, Ezra shares the divine perspective of love, proving himself worthy of receiving esoteric wisdom.
