For the world is divided into twelve parts, and the ten parts of it are gone already, and half of a tenth part:
And there remaineth that which is after the half of the tenth part.
(2 Esdras 14:11,12)
Here is not "world" (space), but "era" (time).
The first six parts are six millennia from the beginning of creation, if we assume that God has one day equals one thousand years. The seventh millennium, "Saturday", it was already Adam, and in the Bible the count went in the usual years, according to genealogies. Thus, the full term of 12 parts ends now, in our time.
The second book of Esdras refers us to the scribe of Ezra, to the time of the Babylonian captivity (although this book was not written by Ezra and much later than the time of Ezra). The time of the Babylonian captivity just corresponds to the time when nine millennia and another half millennium have passed from the beginning of the Creation, that is, nine and a half parts have passed. Our world, which was created by God at the beginning of Genesis, ends. The Apocalypse begins the transformation of the old world into a new world, the creation of a new earth and a new sky, new concepts and guidelines for the life of every person.

The second book of Esdras was rejected by the Protestants, as well as Catholics and Orthodox Christians pushed this book to the background. However, this book contains true prophecies that are consistent with the rest of the Scriptures, in contrast to the cheap fiction, which overwhelms stores selling Christian literature.
