Ezra has a dialogue with God about the fate of humankind, and is reminded that he is not to be numbered with the unrighteous because their fate is different than the fate of the righteous. God explains what awaits the righteous in eternity, and this compares well with the book of Revelation. Many questions are answered regarding God's creation of humans and how He has provided them many ways to seek the truth. This resolves any "humanistic" thoughts of sympathy for the wicked who refuse to acknowledge God in any manner in their short lived lives here on earth.
