But among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die. And there shall be earthquakes also in divers places and many desolations, Yet men will harden their hearts against me and they will take up the sword one against another and they will kill one anothe[r] And now when I the Lord had spake these words unto my disciples they were troubled and <I> said unto them be not troubled for when all these things shall come to pass ye may know the promises which have been made unto you shall be fulfilled & when the light shall begin to break forth, it shall be with them even like unto<unto> <a> parable which I will shew you, Ye look & behold the fig trees and ye see them with your eyes & ye say when they begin to shoot forth and their leaves are yet tender ye say that summer is now nigh at hand— even so it shall be in that day when they shall see all these things— then shall they know that the hour is nigh & it shall come to pass that he that feareth me shall be looking for the great day of the Lord to come even for the signs of the coming of the son of man and they shall see signs and wonders for they shall be shewn forth in the heavens above and in the earth beneath & they shall behold blood and fires & vapours of smoke and before the day of the Lord come the sun shall be darkened and the moon turn to blood and stars shall fall from heaven and the remnant shall be gathered unto this place and then they shall look for me and behold I will com[e] and they shall see me in the clouds of heaven clothed with power and great glory with all the holy and he that watcheth not for me shall be cut off, But before the arm of the Lord shall fall, The Angel shall sound his trump and the saints that have slept shall come forth to meet me in the cloud, Wherefore if ye have slept in peace [p.
