13:18 Now understand I the things that are laid up in the latter days,
which shall happen unto them, and to those that are left behind.
13:19 Therefore are they come into great perils and many necessities,
like as these dreams declare.
13:20 Yet is it easier for him that is in danger to come into these
things, than to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and not to see
the things that happen in the last days. And he answered unto me, and
said,
13:21 The interpretation of the vision shall I shew thee, and I will
open unto thee the thing that thou hast required.
13:22 Whereas thou hast spoken of them that are left behind, this is
the interpretation:
13:23 He that shall endure the peril in that time hath kept himself:
they that be fallen into danger are such as have works, and faith
toward the Almighty.
13:24 Know this therefore, that they which be left behind are more
blessed than they that be dead.
13:25 This is the meaning of the vision: Whereas thou sawest a man
coming up from the midst of the sea:
13:26 The same is he whom God the Highest hath kept a great season,
which by his own self shall deliver his creature: and he shall order
them that are left behind.
13:27 And whereas thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came as a
blast of wind, and fire, and storm;
13:28 And that he held neither sword, nor any instrument of war, but
that the rushing in of him destroyed the whole multitude that came to

13:29 Behold, the days come, when the most High will begin to deliver
them that are upon the earth.
13:30 And he shall come to the astonishment of them that dwell on the
earth.
13:31 And one shall undertake to fight against another, one city
against another, one place against another, one people against another,
and one realm against another.
13:32 And the time shall be when these things shall come to pass, and
the signs shall happen which I shewed thee before, and then shall my
Son be declared, whom thou sawest as a man ascending.
13:33 And when all the people hear his voice, every man shall in their
own land leave the battle they have one against another.
13:34 And an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, as thou
sawest them, willing to come, and to overcome him by fighting.
13:35 But he shall stand upon the top of the mount Sion.
13:36 And Sion shall come, and shall be shewed to all men, being
prepared and builded, like as thou sawest the hill graven without
hands.
13:37 And this my Son shall rebuke the wicked inventions of those
nations, which for their wicked life are fallen into the tempest;
13:38 And shall lay before them their evil thoughts, and the torments
wherewith they shall begin to be tormented, which are like unto a
