I will punish those who have hurt others with their injustice. Jerusalem's humiliation will come to an end,
20
and this age which is about to pass away will have the final seal put on it. Then I will give the following signs: the books will be opened across the sky for all to see.
1
21
Children only a year old will speak. Pregnant women will give birth after only three or four months, and their premature babies will live and run about.
22
Planted fields will suddenly become bare, and full barns will suddenly become empty.
23
Then the trumpet will sound, and sudden terror will grip the heart of everyone when they hear it.
2
24
Friends will fight like enemies, and the earth and its people will be terrified. Rivers will stop flowing and stand still for three hours.
25
"Those who survive all these things that I have predicted will be rescued when I bring to an end this world that I created.
26
They will see those who never died but were taken up alive into heaven. The hearts and minds of people on earth will be changed.
3
27
Evil will be destroyed and deceit eliminated.
28
Faith will grow strong, corruption will be overcome, and truth, which has not produced fruit for so long, will make itself felt again."

While the voice was speaking, the ground beneath me began to rock back and forth.
