37. Ye look and behold the fig trees, and ye see them with your
eyes, and ye say when they begin to shoot forth, and their leaves
are yet tender, that summer is now nigh at hand;
38. Even so it shall be in that day when they shall see all these
things, then shall they know that the hour is nigh.
39. And it shall come to pass that he that feareth me shall be
looking forth for the great day of the Lord to come, even for the
signs of the coming of the Son of man:
40. And they shall see signs and wonders, for they shall be shown
forth in the heavens above, and in the earth beneath;
41. And they shall behold blood, and fire, and vapors of smoke;
42. And before the day of the Lord shall come, the sun shall be
darkened, and the moon be turned into blood, and the stars fall
from heaven;
43. And the remnant shall be gathered unto this place,
44. And then they shall look for me, and, behold, I will come; and
they shall see me in the clouds of heaven, clothed with power and
great glory, with all the holy angels; and he that watches not for
me shall be cut off.
45. But before the arm of the Lord shall fall, an angel shall sound
his trump, and the saints that have slept shall come forth to meet
me in the cloud.
46. Wherefore, if ye have slept in peace, blessed are you, for as
you now behold me and know that I am, even so shall ye come unto me
and your souls shall live, and your redemption shall be perfected,
and the saints shall come forth from the four quarters of the earth.
{162} 47. Then shall the arm of the Lord fall upon the nations.
48. And then shall the Lord set his foot upon this mount, and it
shall cleave in twain, and the earth shall tremble, and reel to and
fro, and the heavens also shall shake,
49. And the Lord shall utter his voice, and all the ends of the
earth shall hear it, and the nations of the earth shall mourn, and
they that have laughed shall see their folly,
50. And calamity shall cover the mocker, and the scorner shall be
consumed, and they that have watched for iniquity shall be hewn
down and cast into the fire.
51. And then shall the Jews look upon me and say, What are these
wounds in Thine hands and in Thy feet?
52. Then shall they know that I am the Lord; for I will say unto
them, These wounds are the wounds with which I was wounded in the
house of my friends. I am he who was lifted up. I am Jesus that was
crucified. I am the Son of God.
53. And then shall they weep because of their iniquities; then
shall they lament because they persecuted their King.
54. And then shall the heathen nations be redeemed, and they that
knew no law shall have part in the first resurrection; and it shall
be tolerable for them;
55. And Satan shall be bound that he shall have no place in the
hearts of the children of men.
