The angel contrasted it with the small minority who will be saved, unto everlasting glory and honour with God. He says in everything, the precious is always a rarity..a minority, on earth. For example soil is much more plentiful than gold and precious stones, etc etc

Interesting. I have never seen those texts, but i heard some of those apocryphal books are included in Ethiopian Bible. I really have to read them one day!

Probably taken from Manga themed Youth Bible, possibly even Japanese one. Mortimer do you know more about this?
