14. But, behold, I say unto you, that before this great day shall
come, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall be turned into
blood, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and there shall be
greater signs in heaven above, and in the earth beneath;
{113} 15. And there shall be weeping and wailing among the hosts of
men;
16. And there shall be a great hailstorm sent forth to destroy the
crops of the earth;
17. And it shall come to pass because of the wickedness of the
world, that I will take vengeance upon the wicked, for they will
not repent: for the cup of mine indignation is full; for behold, my
blood shall not cleanse them if they hear me not.
18. Wherefore, I the Lord God will send forth flies upon the face
of the earth, which will take hold of the inhabitants thereof, and
shall eat their flesh, and shall cause maggots to come in upon them;
19. And their tongues shall be staid that they shall not utter
against me; and their flesh shall fall from off their bones, and
their eyes from their sockets:
20. And it shall come to pass that the beasts of the forest, and
the fowls of the air shall devour them up.
21. And the great and abominable church, which is the whore of all
the earth, shall be cast down by devouring fire, according as it
is spoken by the mouth of Ezekiel the prophet, who spoke of these
things, which have not come to pass, but surely must, as I live,
for abominations shall not reign.
22. And again, verily, verily, I say unto you that when the
thousand years are ended, and men again begin to deny their God,
then will I spare the earth but for a little season;
23. And the end shall come, and the heaven and the earth shall be
consumed and pass away, and there shall be a new heaven and a new
earth,
24. For all old things shall pass away, and all things shall become
new, even the heaven and the earth, and all the fullness thereof,
both men and beasts, the fowls of the air, and the fishes of the
sea;
25. And not one hair, neither mote, shall be lost, for it is the
workmanship of mine hand.
26. But, behold, verily I say unto you, before the earth shall pass
away, Michael, mine archangel, shall sound his trump, and then
shall all the dead awake, for their graves shall be opened, and
they shall come forth; yea, even all.
27. And the righteous shall be gathered on my right hand unto
eternal life; and the wicked on my left hand will I be ashamed to
own before the Father;
28. Wherefore I will say unto them--Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
29. And now behold, I say unto you, never at any time have I
declared from mine own mouth that they should return, for where I
am they cannot come, for they have no power.
