He answered me and said, "Measure carefully in your mind, and when you see that some of the predicted signs have occurred,
2
then you will know that it is the very time when the Most High is about to visit the world that he has made.
3
So when there shall appear in the world earthquakes, tumult of peoples, intrigues of nations, wavering of leaders, confusion of princes,
4
then you will know that it was of these that the Most High spoke from the days that were of old, from the beginning.
5
For just as with everything that has occurred in the world, the beginning is evident, and the end manifest;
6
so also are the times of the Most High: the beginnings are manifest in wonders and mighty works, and the end in penalties and in signs.
7
"It shall be that all who will be saved and will be able to escape on account of their works, or on account of the faith by which they have believed,
8
will survive the dangers that have been predicted, and will see my salvation in my land and within my borders, which I have sanctified for myself from the beginning.
9
Then those who have now abused my ways shall be amazed, and those who have rejected them with contempt shall live in torments.
