|
hear thou the things which must come to pass in the last times |
|
there shall be famine and war and earthquakes in diverse places |
|
snow and ice and great drought shall there be |
|
and many dissentions amongst people |
|
blasphemy inequity envy and villany |
|
indolence pride and intemperance |
|
so that every man shall speak that which pleaseth him |
|
and the priests shall not have peace amongst themselves |
|
shall sacrifice unto making deceit for mind |
|
therefore will i not look upon them |
|
then shall the priests behold the people |
|
departing from the house of the Lord and |
|
turning unto the world and setting up |
|
landmarks in the house of God |
|
they shall claim for themselves many things |
|
and places that are lost and shall be |
|
subject unto Caesar as also they were |
|
of all times giving poll taxes of the cities |
|
even gold and silver |
|
and the chief men of the city shall be condemned |
|
and their substance brought into the treasuries of the kings |
|
and they shall be killed |
|
for there shall be great disturbance throughout all the people |
|
and death also |
|
the house of the Lord shall be desolate |
|
and their altars shall be abhorred |
|
so that spiders weave their webs there |
|
the place of holiness too shall be corrupted |
|
priests all corrupted |
|
agony shall increase |
|
virtue shall be overcome |
|
joy perish |
|
and gladness depart |
|
in those days evil shall abound |
|
there shall be respectors of persons |
|
hymns shall seize out of the house of the Lord |
|
truth shall be no more |
|
covetousness shall abound amongst the priests |
|
and the bright man shall not be found |
|
on some nation shall arise there the last time a king |
|
a lover of the Lord |
|
who shall hold rule not or long |
|
he shall leave two sons |
|
the first is named after the first letter A |
|
the second named after the eigth letter H |
|
the first shall die before the second |
|
thereafter shall rise two princes to oppress the nations |
|
under whose hands there shall be a very great famine |
|
in the right hand part of the east |
|
so that nation shall rise against nation |
|
and be driven out from their own borders |
|
again another king shall rise |
|
a crafty man |
|
who shall command a golden image of Caesar to be made |
|
therefore martyrdom shall abound |
|
then shall faith return unto the servants of the Lord |
|
and holiness shall be multiplied |
|
and agony increased |
|
the mountains shall be comforted |
|
and shall drop down sweepeth the fire from the face |
|
of the number of the saints maybe accomplished |
|
after a little space there shall arise another king out of the east |
|
a lover of the Lord |
|
who shall cause all good things and necessary to abound in the house of the Lord |
|
he shall show mercy unto the widows and the needy |
|
and command a royal gift to be given unto the priests |
|
in his days shall be abundance of all things |
|
and after that again another king shall arise in the southern part of the world |
|
and shall hold rule but a little space |
|
in whose days the treasuries shall fall because of the wages of the soldiers |
|
so that the substance of all the age shall be commanded |
|
and given to the king |
|
thereafter shall there be plenty of corn and wine and oil |
|
but great dearness of money |
|
so that the substance of gold and silver shall be given for corn |
|
and there shall be great dearness |
|
and at that time there shall be very great risings of the sea |
|
so that no man shall tell news to any man |
|
the kings of the earth and the princes and the captains shall be troubled |
|
and no man shall speak freely |
|
gray hairs shall be seen upon boys |
|
and the young shall not give place unto the aged |
|
after that shall rise yet another king |
|
a crafty man who will hold rule for a short space |
|
in whose days there shall be all manner of evils |
|
even the death of the race of men from the east |
|
even unto Babylon |
|
and thereafter death and famine and sword |
|
in the land of Cain and even unto Rome |
|
then shall all the fountains of water and wells boil over |
|
and be turned into blood into dust and blood |
|
the heaven shall be moved |
|
and the stars shall fall unto the earth |
|
the sun shall be cut in half like the moon |
|
and the moon shall not give her light |
|
there shall be great signs and wonders in those days |
|
when Antichrist draws near |
|
these are the signs unto them that dwell in the earth |
|
in those days the pains of great revile shall come upon them |
|
in those days when Antichrist now draweth near |
|
these are the signs |
|
woe unto them that dwell on the earth |
|
in the last days a great king shall come |
|
woe unto them who build |
|
for they shall not inhabit |
|
woe unto them that break up the follow for they shall labour without a cause |
|
when i was a child in the belly of my mother! |
|
woe unto them that make marriages for unto man each shall nay beget sons |
|

|
woe unto them that join house to house |
|
or field to field |
|
when i was a child in the palace of my father! |
|
for all field shall be consumed with fire |
|

|
woe unto them that will not look unto themselves while titled |
|

|
for they shall be condemned |
|

|
woe unto them that stay away from the poor |
|
silence! |
|

|

|

|
when i was a child in the cannon of my father! |
|

|

|

|

|
when i was a child in the belly of my mother! |
|
when i was a child in the palace of my father! |
|
desolation! |
|
there will be famine and great pestilence |
|
annihilation! |
|

|

|
and shall fall by the edge of the sword |
|
