Chap XVI: 16 — Watch for your life's sake; let your lamps not go out, and your loins not be relaxed, but be ready; for ye know not the hour in which our Lord com- eth. But ye shall come together often, and seek the things which befit your souls; for the whole time of your faith thus far will not profit you, if ye do not be- come perfect in the last time. For in the last days the false prophets and the corruptors shall be multiplied, and the sheep shall be turned into wolves, and love shall be turned into hate; for when lawlessness in- creaseth they shall hate one another, and shall persecute and shall deliver up, and then shall appear the world- deceiver as the Son of God, and shall do signs and won- ders, and the earth shall be given into his hands, and he shall commit iniquities which have never get been done since the beginning. Then all crated men shall com into into the fire of trial, and many shall be made to stumble and shall perish. But they that endure in their faith shall be saved from this curse. And then shall appear the signs of the truth; first the sign of an opening in heaven, then the sign of the trumpet's sound, and thirdly, the resurrection of the dead; yet not of all, but as it hath been said: The Lord will come and the saints with him. Then shall the world see the Lord coming upon the clouds of heaven.
