CHAPTER 9:

that it is the very same time,
wherein the Highest will begin
to visit the world which he
made.
3 Therefore when there shall
be seen earthquakes and
uproars of the people in the

understand, that the Most
High spoke of those things
from the days that were before
you, even from the beginning.
5 For like as all that is made

cast them away despitefully,
shall dwell in torments.
10 For such, as in their life

is, and for whom the world is
created.
