14 And it shall be as it were
a great motion, but the place
where you stand, shall not be
moved.
15 And therefore when it
speaks be not afraid: for the
word is of the end, and the
foundation of the earth is
understood.
16 And why? because the
speech of these things
trembles and is moved: for it
knows that the end of these
things must be changed.
17 And it happened that when
I had heard it, I stood up upon
my feet, and hearkened, and
behold, there was a voice that
spoke, and the sound of it was
like the sound of many waters.
18 And it said, Behold, the
days come, that I will begin to
draw near, and to visit them
that dwell upon the earth,
19 And will begin to make
inquisition of them, what they
be that have hurt unjustly with
their unrighteousness, and

every man hears they shall be
suddenly afraid.
24 At that time shall friends
fight one against another like
enemies, and the earth shall
stand in fear with those that
dwell therein, the springs of
the fountains shall stand still,
and in three hours they shall
not run.
25 Whosoever remains from
all these that I have told
you, shall escape, and see my
salvation, and the end of your
world.
26 And the men that are
received, shall see it, who have
not tasted death from their
birth: and the heart of the
inhabitants shall be changed,
and turned into another
meaning.
27 For evil shall be put out,
and deceit shall be quenched.
28 As for faith, it shall flourish,
corruption shall be overcome,
and the truth which has been
so long without fruit, shall be
