Go forth out of the sanctuary, for thou hast acted unfaithfully, and, not to thee, for an honour, [shall it be] from Yahweh Elohim. ¹⁹ Then was Uzziah wroth, and, in his hand, was a censer, to burn incense,––and, when he was wroth with the priests, a leprosy, shot forth in his forehead, before the priests, in the house of Yahweh, from off the altar of incense. ²⁰ When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests turned towards him, lo! he, was leprous, in his forehead, so they hastened him from thence,––yea, even he himself, hurried to go out, because Yahweh had smitten him.

²⁵ Whence he is able, even to be saving unto the very end, them who approach, through him, unto God; Since he evermore liveth to be interceding in their behalf.

⁴ Having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant covered around on every side with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and the rod of Aaron that sprouted, and the tables of the covenant;

¹ My dear children! these things, am I writing unto you, in order that ye may not be committing sin. And, if anyone should commit sin, an Advocate, have we, with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous; ² And, he, is, a propitiation, concerning our sins,––and, not concerning our own only, but, also concerning those of the whole world.

⁸ And the sanctuary was filled with smoke by reason of the glory of God, and by reason of his power; and, no one, was able to enter into the sanctuary, until the seven plagues of the seven messengers should be ended.

¹² and shall take the censer–full of burning coals of fire from off the altar, from before Yahweh, and his hands full of fragrant incense, beaten small,––and bring within the veil;

⁷ In my distress, called I on Yahweh, Yea, unto my God, did I call,––and he hearkened, out of his temple, unto my voice, and, my cry for help, was in his ears! ⁸ Then did the earth shake and quake, the foundations of the heavens, were deeply moved,––yea they did shake, because he was angry, ⁹ There went up a smoke in his nostrils, and, a fire out of his mouth, devoured,––live coals, were kindled from it:

¹¹ And he said––Go forth tomorrow, and stand in the mountain, before Yahweh. And lo! Yahweh, passing by, and a great and strong wind––rending the mountains, and breaking in pieces the crags, before Yahweh, Not, in the wind, was, Yahweh,––And, after the wind, an, earthquake, Not, in the earthquake, was, Yahweh;

¹³ Then did Yahweh thunder in the heavens, and the Highest uttered his voice,––hail, and live coals of fire.

⁶ From Yahweh of hosts, shalt thou be visited, With thunder, and with earthquake and a great noise,––hurricane and storm, and flame of fire devouring;

³⁰ Then will Yahweh, cause to be heard––the resounding of his voice, And, the bringing down of his arm, shall be seen, In a rage of anger, And with the flame of a devouring fire,––A burst and a downpour, and a hailstone!

⁶ The sound of a tumult––out of the city, A sound, out of the temple,––The sound of Yahweh, rendering recompense to his foes.

¹⁴ As soon as ye have seen it, your heart, shall be joyful, And, your bones, like green herbage, shall thrive,––So shall be known, The hand of Yahweh with his servants, But indignation with his foes!
¹⁵ For lo! Yahweh, with fire, doth come, And, like a storm–wind, [are] his chariots,––To render, with fury, his anger, And his rebuke, with flames of fire. ¹⁶ For, by fire, will Yahweh enter into judgment, And by his sword, with all flesh,––And many, shall be the slain of Yahweh.

¹¹ Polish the arrows, Lay hold of the shields,––Yahweh hath roused the spirit of the kings of the Medes, For, against Babylon, his purpose is, to destroy her,––For it is, The avenging of Yahweh, The avenging of his temple.

² Then said he unto the man clothed in linen––then said he, Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with live coals of fire from between the cherubim, and throw over the city. So he went in before mine eyes. ³ Now, the cherubim, were standing on the right side of the house, when the man went in,––and, the cloud, filled the inner court. ⁴ Then arose the glory of Yahweh from off the cherub, unto the threshold of the house,––and the house was filled, with the cloud, and, the court, was filled with the brightness of the glory of Yahweh. ⁵ And, the sound of the wings of the cherubim, was heard, as far as the outer court,––like the voice of the Almighty GOD when he speaketh. ⁶ So then it came to pass––when he commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, then went he in and stood beside the wheel. ⁷ And the cherub put forth his hand from between the cherubim, unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took up [thereof] and gave into the hands of him who was clothed with linen,––who took [it] and went forth.

⁵ Then shall ye flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains, shall reach, very near, Yea, ye shall flee, just as ye fled from before the earthquake, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah,––Then, shall arrive, Yahweh my God, All thy holy ones, with thee!

⁷ For there will arise––nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,––and there will be famines and earthquakes, in places.

⁵² and, the tombs, were opened and, many bodies of the holy ones who had fallen asleep, arose,–– ⁵³ and, coming forth out of the tombs after his arising, entered into, the holy city, and plainly appeared unto many. ⁵⁴ Now, the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things coming to pass, were violently affrighted, saying––Truly, God’s Son, was, he!

⁴⁹ Fire, came I to cast upon the earth,––and what can I wish, if, already, it hath been, kindled?

³¹ And, when they had made supplication, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were filled, one and all, with the Holy Spirit, and began speaking the word of God with freedom of utterance.

²⁶ And, suddenly, a great earthquake took place,––so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and all the doors were [instantly] set open, and the bonds of all were unfastened.

¹⁸ For ye have not approached––unto, a searching and scorching fire, and gloom, and mist, and tempest, ¹⁹ And a trumpets peal,––and a sound of things spoken:––from which they who heard excused themselves, lest there should be added to them, a word;

⁵ And, out of the throne, are coming forth lightnings, and voices, and thunderings; and [there are] seven torches of fire, burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;

¹³ And, in that hour, there came to be a great earthquake; and, the tenth of the city, fell, and there were slain, in the earthquake, names of men––seven thousand. And, the rest, became, greatly afraid, and gave glory unto the God of heaven.

¹⁹ And the sanctuary of God which is in heaven, was opened, and the ark of his covenant in his sanctuary, appeared, and there came to be lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

¹ And I heard aloud voice, out of the sanctuary, saying unto the seven messengers––Go, and be pouring out the seven bowls of the wrath of God unto the earth. ² And the first departed, and poured out his bowl unto the earth; and there came to be a baneful and painful ulcer, upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and them who were doing homage unto his image. ³ And, the second, poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood, as of a dead man, and, every living soul, died––as regardeth the things in the sea. ⁴ And, the third, poured out his bowl into the rivers, and the fountains of waters; and they became blood. ⁵ And I heard the messenger of the waters, saying––Righteous, art thou Who art, and Who wast, Who art full of lovingkindness,––in that, these things, thou hast adjudged; ⁶ Because, blood of saints and prophets, poured they out, and, blood, unto them, hast thou given to drink: Worthy, they are! ⁷ And I heard the altar, saying––Yea! Lord, God, the Almighty: True and righteous, are thy judgments!
⁸ And, the fourth, poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given unto it, to scorch mankind with fire; ⁹ and mankind were scorched with a great scorching heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who had authority over these plagues, and repented not to give him glory. ¹⁰ And, the fifth, poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened, and they began to gnaw their tongues by reason of the pain,–– ¹¹ and they blasphemed the God of heaven, by reason of their pain, and by reason of their ulcers, and repented not of their works.
¹² And, the sixth, poured out his bowl upon the great river: [the] Euphrates; and the water thereof, was dried up, that the way might be prepared, of the kings who were from the rising of the sun. ¹³ And I saw, out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false–prophet, three impure spirits, as frogs; ¹⁴ for they are spirits of demons, doing signs, which are to go forth unto the kings of the whole habitable earth, to gather them together unto the battle of the great day of God the Almighty.–– ¹⁵ Lo! I come as a thief! Happy, he that is watching, and keeping his garments, lest, naked, he be walking, and they see his shame.–– ¹⁶ And he gathered them together unto the place that is called, in Hebrew, Har Magedon.
¹⁷ And, the seventh, poured out his bowl upon the air.––And there came forth a loud voice out of the sanctuary, from the throne, saying––Accomplished! ¹⁸ And there came to be lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and, a great earthquake, took place,––such as had never taken place since men came to be on the earth,––such a mighty earthquake, so great; ¹⁹ and the great city became [divided] into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell; and, Babylon the Great, was brought into remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the wrath of his anger; ²⁰ and, every island, fled, and, mountains, were not found. ²¹ And, great hail, as talents, cometh down out of heaven upon mankind; and men blasphemed God, by reason of the plague of hail,––because the plague thereof was, exceeding great.

² And I saw the seven messengers which, before God, do stand; and there were given unto them seven trumpets.

²³ So Moses stretched forth his staff over the heavens, and, Yahweh, gave forth thunderings and hail, and there came fire, towards the earth,––and Yahweh rained down hail, on the land of Egypt. ²⁴ So there came to be hail, and fire catching hold of itself, in the midst of the hail,––exceeding heavy, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt, from the very time it became a nation. ²⁵ And the hail smote, in all the land of Egypt, all that was in the field, both man and beast,––and, every herb of the field, did the hail smite, and, every tree of the field, did it shiver.

³³ So Moses went away from Pharaoh, out of the city, and spread out his hands unto Yahweh,––then did the thunderings and the hail cease, and, rain, was not poured out on the earth.

¹¹ And it came to pass, when they fled from before Israel, they, being on the slope of Beth–horon, that, Yahweh, cast down upon them great stones out of the heavens, as far as Azekah, and they died,––more, were they who died by the hailstones, than they whom the sons of Israel slew with the sword.

⁵ Yahweh, putteth, the righteous, to the test,––But the lawless one and the lover of violence, his soul doth hate. ⁶ He will rain upon the lawless live–coals, Fire and brimstone and a burning wind, are the portion of their cup.

¹² Out of the brightness before him, his clouds rolled along, hail, and live coals of fire. ¹³ Then did Yahweh thunder in the heavens, and the Highest uttered his voice,––hail, and live coals of fire.

⁴⁷ He killed, with hail, their vine, And their sycomores, with frost: ⁴⁸ When he gave up, to hail–storms, their beasts, And their cattle, to pestilent fevers;

³² He made their showers––hail, A fire flaming throughout their land;

¹² For, a day of Yahweh of hosts, [shall be]––Upon every one who is high and lofty,––And upon every one who is lifted up, And he shall be brought low; ¹³ And upon all cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up,––And upon all the oaks of Bashan;

¹⁷ So shall, the Light of Israel, become, a fire, And, his Holy One, a flame, Which shall burn and consume his thorns and his briars, in one day; ¹⁸ And, the glory of his forest and of his garden land, both soul and body, shall it bring to an end,––And it shall be like the wasting away of a consumptive.

² Lo! My Lord hath one who is, strong and bold, Like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest, Like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, Hath he thrust it down to the earth with force:

¹⁹ But it shall hail during the felling of the forest, And, in a sunken place, shall, the city, sink.

¹⁰ Because, yea, even because, they have led astray my people, saying, Prosperity! when there was no, prosperity,––and, one man, was building a partition wall, when, there they were! eating it with whitewash. ¹¹ Say thou, unto them who are coating with whitewash, It shall fall,––There hath come an overflowing rain, And I will make hail–stones fall, And, a tempestuous wind, shall break it down. ¹² Lo! when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where, is the coating, wherewith ye coated it? ¹³ Therefore, Thus, saith my Lord, Yahweh, So will I break down with a tempestuous wind, in mine indignation,––And, an overflowing rain in mine anger, shall there be, With hailstones, in wrath, to make an end; ¹⁴ And I will pull down the wall which ye have coated with whitewash, And will bring it unto the ground, So shall be discovered, its foundation, Yea it shall fall, And ye shall come to an end in the midst thereof, So shall ye know, that, I, am Yahweh. ¹⁵ Thus will I bring to an end mine indignation against the wall, and against them who were coating it with whitewash, And will say to you, No more, is the wall, And no more, are they who were coating it:

²² Then will I contend with him, by pestilence and by blood,––And, an overflowing downpour and hailstones, fire and brimstone, will I rain, Upon him, and, Upon his hordes, and, Upon the many peoples, who are with him.

³⁰ And I will set forth wonders in the heavens, and in the earth,––blood, and fire, and columns of smoke:

⁸ And it shall come to pass, in all the land, declareth Yahweh, Two–thirds therein, shall be cut off, and expire,––but, a third, shall be left therein; ⁹ And I will bring the third into the fire, and will smelt them as one smelteth silver, and will try them, as one trieth gold,––It, will call upon my name, and, I, will answer it, and will say, My people, it is! and, it, will say, Yahweh, is my God!

²⁵ And the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and rushed against that house, and it fell not; for it had been founded upon the rock. ²⁶ And every one who heareth these my words, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand; ²⁷ And the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and dashed against that house, and it fell; and, the fall thereof, was, great.

¹¹ For the sun hath sprung up, with it scorching heat, and hath withered the grass, and, the flower thereof, hath fallen out, and, the beauty of the face thereof, hath perished,––so, also the rich, in his goings, shall languish.

²⁴ Inasmuch as––All flesh, is as grass, and, all the glory thereof, as the flower of grass,––The grass hath withered, and the flower hath fallen out,

⁸ And I saw, and lo! a livid horse,––and he that was sitting thereupon had for a name, Death, and, Hades, was following with him; and there was given unto them authority over the fourth of the earth, to slay with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

⁷ And, the first, sounded; and there came to be hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast unto the earth; and, the third of the earth, was burned up, and, the third of the trees, was burned up, and, all green herbage, was burned up. ⁸ And, the second messenger, sounded; and, as it were a great mountain burning with fire, was cast into the sea; and the third of the sea became blood, ⁹ and the third of the creatures which were in the sea, which had life, died, the third of the ships, was destroyed. ¹⁰ And, the third messenger, sounded; and there fell, out of heaven, a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters. ¹¹ And, the name of the star, is called Wormwood; and the third of the waters became wormwood, and many of the men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. ¹² And, the fourth messenger, sounded; and the third of the sun was smitten, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars,––in order that the third of them might be darkened, and the day might not shine for the third of it, and the night, in like manner.

⁴ And it was bidden them that they should not injure the herbage of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree,––but only the men who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads.

¹⁵ And the four messengers were loosed, who had been prepared for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they should slay the third of men.

¹⁸ by these three plagues, were slain, the third part of mankind, by reason of the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, that proceedeth out of their mouths;

⁴ and, his tail, draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth. And, the dragon, stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, that, as soon as she should bring forth, he might devour, her child.

² And the first departed, and poured out his bowl unto the earth; and there came to be a baneful and painful ulcer, upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and them who were doing homage unto his image.

²¹ And, great hail, as talents, cometh down out of heaven upon mankind; and men blasphemed God, by reason of the plague of hail,––because the plague thereof was, exceeding great.

¹⁷ Thus, saith Yahweh, Hereby, shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh,––Lo! I, am smiting with the staff that is in my hand upon the waters that are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood; ¹⁸ and, the fish that is in the river, shall die, and the river, shall be loathsome,––and the Egyptians, shall disdain, to drink water out of the river. ¹⁹ And Yahweh said unto Moses,––Say unto Aaron––Take thy staff, and stretch forth thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, over their rivers, and over their pools, and over all their collections of water––that they may become blood,––so shall there be blood, in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone. ²⁰ And Moses and Aaron, did so, as Yahweh commanded, and he lifted high the staff, and smote the waters which were in the river, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants,––and all the waters which were in the river, were turned to blood; ²¹ and, the fish that was in the river, died, and the river, became loathsome, so that the Egyptians could not drink water out of the river,––thus came it to pass that blood was in all the land of Egypt.

²⁵ Behold me! against thee, O destroying mountain, Declareth Yahweh, That destroyest all the earth,––Therefore will I stretch out my hand over thee, And roll thee down from the crags, And make of thee a burning, mountain:

⁹ Yea, the prophet himself, when he suffereth himself to be deceived, and speaketh a word, I, Yahweh, have suffered that prophet to be deceived. Then will I stretch forth my hand against him, and destroy him out of the midst of my people, Israel:

⁴ Here, My Lord, Yahweh gave me to see, and lo! My Lord Yahweh proclaiming that, the controversy should be settled by fire,––which, having devoured the mighty roaring deep, should devour the inheritance.

²³ Verily, I say unto you––Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be lifted up, and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that, what he speaketh, cometh to pass, it shall be his.

⁷ And, the first, sounded; and there came to be hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast unto the earth; and, the third of the earth, was burned up, and, the third of the trees, was burned up, and, all green herbage, was burned up.

⁶ These, have authority to shut heaven, in order that, no rain, be moistening in the days of their prophesying; and, authority, have they, over the waters, to be turning them into blood, and to smite the land, with any manner of plague, as often as they will.

²¹ and, the fish that was in the river, died, and the river, became loathsome, so that the Egyptians could not drink water out of the river,––thus came it to pass that blood was in all the land of Egypt.

⁷ With an east wind, wilt thou shatter the ships of Tarshish.

¹⁶ And upon all the ships of Tarshish,––And upon all desirable, banners.

¹ The oracle on Tyre,––Howl! ye ships of Tarshish, For it is laid too waste to be a haven to enter, From the land of Cyprus, hath it been unveiled to them.

⁸ And it shall come to pass, in all the land, declareth Yahweh, Two–thirds therein, shall be cut off, and expire,––but, a third, shall be left therein;

¹⁰ And, the third messenger, sounded; and there fell, out of heaven, a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters.

¹² And, the fourth messenger, sounded; and the third of the sun was smitten, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars,––in order that the third of them might be darkened, and the day might not shine for the third of it, and the night, in like manner.

³ And, the second, poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood, as of a dead man, and, every living soul, died––as regardeth the things in the sea.

¹¹ Then went down three thousand men out of Judah, unto the cleft of the crag Etam, and said unto Samson––Knowest thou not that the Philistines are lording it over us? What, then, is this thou hast done to us? And he said unto them, As they have done to me, so, have I done to them.

¹⁹ And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Lo! we pray thee, the situation of the city, is good, as, my lord, seeth,––but, the waters, are bad, and, the land, apt to miscarry. ²⁰ And he said––Bring me a new bowl, and put therein, salt. So they brought it unto him; ²¹ and he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast therein, saith,––and said––Thus, saith Yahweh, I have healed these waters; there shall come from thence, no longer, death or aptness to miscarry. ²² So the waters were healed, [as they remain] unto this day,––according to the word of Elisha which he spake.

³ he took counsel with his captains and his heroes, to stop the waters of the fountains, which were outside the city,––and they helped him.

³ Therefore shall ye draw water, with rejoicing,––out of the fountains of salvation.

¹² How, hast thou fallen from heaven, O Shining One––Son of the Dawn! Hewn down to the earth, O crusher of nations!

¹⁵ Though, he, among brethren, be fruitful, there shall come in an east wind, the blast of Yahweh out of the desert coming up, that his spring, may dry up, and his fountain, be exhausted, he, will rob the treasure–house of all the vessels of delight. ¹⁶ Samaria, shall be held guilty, for she hath rebelled against her God, By the sword, shall they fall, their infants, shall be dashed to the ground, and, his women with child, shall be ripped up.

¹⁸ And he said unto them––I was beholding Satan, when, like lightning, out of heaven, he fell!

¹³ Wild waves of sea, foaming out their own infamies, wandering stars, for whom the gloom of darkness age–abiding hath been reserved.

²⁰ The sacred secret of the seven stars, which thou sawest upon my right hand, and the seven lamps of gold:––The seven stars, are, messengers of the seven assemblies, and, the seven lamps, are, seven assemblies

¹³ and, the stars of heaven, fell to the earth, as, a fig–tree, sheddeth her winter figs, when, by a great wind, it is shaken,

¹ And, the fifth messenger, sounded; and I saw a star, out of heaven, fallen unto the earth, and there was given unto him the key of the shaft of the abyss.

⁷ saying with a loud voice,––Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judging is come; and do homage unto him that made heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.

⁴ And, the third, poured out his bowl into the rivers, and the fountains of waters; and they became blood.

²³ and, when they came in towards Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were, bitter,––for this cause, was the name thereof called Marah.

¹⁸ Lest there be among you––a man or a woman, or a family or a tribe, whose heart is turning today, from Yahweh our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations,––lest there be among you, a root fruitful of poison and wormwood;

²⁰ And she said unto them, Do not call me Naomi[=" Sweet"], ––call me Mara[=" Bitter"], for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me:

⁴ But, the latter end of her, is bitter as wormwood, sharp, as a two–edged sword!

¹⁵ Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, The God of Israel, Behold me! Feeding them, even this people, with wormwood,––And I will cause them to drink, poisoned water;

¹⁵ Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Concerning the prophets,––Behold me! Feeding them with wormwood, And I will cause them to drink poisoned water,––For, from the prophets of Jerusalem, hath there gone forth profanity unto all the land.

⁵ He hath built up against me, and carried round me, fortifications and a trench;

¹⁹ Remember my humiliation and my fleeings, the wormwood and poison;

⁷ Ye who turn, into, wormwood, justice, and, righteousness––to the ground have let fall.

¹² Shall horses run upon crag? or will a man plough [there] with oxen? For ye have turned to poison the sentence of justice, and the fruit of righteousness, to wormwood:

¹⁵ Using oversight––lest any one be falling behind from the favour of God,––lest any root of bitterness, springing up above, be causing trouble, and, through it, the many, be defiled:

²¹ Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Stretch forth thy hand over the heavens, that there may be darkness, over the land of Egypt,––and that one may feel the darkness. ²² So Moses stretched forth his hand, over the heavens,––and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt, for three days; ²³ they saw not one another, neither rose any man from his couch, for three days,––but, all the sons of Israel, had light in their dwellings. ²⁴ Then Pharaoh called out unto Moses, and said––Go, serve Yahweh, only, your flocks and your herds, shall be left,––even your little ones, shall go with you. ²⁵ And Moses said, Even thou thyself, shalt give into our hands, sacrifices and ascending–offerings,––so shall we present offerings to Yahweh our God. ²⁶ Moreover also, our own cattle, shall go with us––there shall not be left behind, a hoof, for, thereof, must we take, to serve Yahweh our God,––even we ourselves, cannot know wherewith we must serve Yahweh, until we have come in thither. ²⁷ And Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold,––and he was not willing to let them go. ²⁸ So Pharaoh said to him––Get thee from me,––take heed to thyself––do not, any more, see my face, for, in the day thou dost see my face, thou shalt die. ²⁹ And Moses said––Well, hast thou spoken,––no more again, to see thy face.

¹⁰ For, the stars of the heavens, and their constellations, shall not flash forth their light,––Obscured, shall be, the sun, in his, going forth, And, the moon, shall not shed her light.

²³ Then shall blush, the silvery moon, Then turn pale, the glowing sun,––Because Yahweh of hosts, hath become king, In Mount Zion, And in Jerusalem, And before his Elders, in glory.

²³ I beheld, The earth, and lo! it was waste and wild,––The heavens also, and their light was, not:

⁷ And, when I quench thee, I will cover the heavens, And obscure their stars,––The sun––with a cloud, will I cover, And, the moon, shall not shed her light; ⁸ As for all the light–bearers in the heavens, I will obscure them over thee,––And will stretch out darkness over thy land, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

¹⁰ Before him, hath quaked the earth, have trembled the heavens,––the sun and the moon, have become dark, and, the stars, have withdrawn their shining;

³¹ The sun, shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,––before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh.

¹⁵ The sun and the moon, have become dark,––and, the stars, have withdrawn their shining,

⁹ Yea it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, that I will cause the sun to go in at high noon,––and will darken the earth on a day of brightness.!

²⁹ But, straightway after the tribulation of those days, the sun, will be darkened, and, the moon, will not give her brightness, and, the stars, will fall from heaven,––and, the powers of the heavens, will be shaken;

⁴⁵ Now, from the sixth hour, darkness, came upon all the land––until the ninth hour.

²⁴ But, in those days, after that tribulation, the sun, shall be darkened, and, the moon, will not give her brightness,

³³ And, when it was the sixth hour, darkness, came on all the land––until the ninth hour;

²⁵ And there will he signs in sun, and moon, and stars, and, on the earth, anguish of nations in embarrassment––sea and surge resounding,––

⁴⁴ And it was already about the sixth hour, and, darkness, came upon the whole land, until the ninth hour,–– ⁴⁵ the sun failing; and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

²⁰ The sun, shall be turned into darkness and, the moon, into blood,––before the coming of the day of the Lord, the great and manifest [day];

⁴ In whom, the god of this age, hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, to the end they may not discern the radiance of the glad–message of the glory of the Christ––who is the image of God.

⁹ Whose, presence, [shall be] according to an inworking of Satan, with all manner of mighty work and signs and wonders of falsehood, ¹⁰ And with all manner of deceit of unrighteousness, in them who are destroying themselves, because, the love of the truth, they did not welcome, that they might be saved; –– ¹¹ And, for this cause, God sendeth them an inworking of error, to the end they should believe in the falsehood,–– ¹² In order that should be judged who would not believe in the truth, but were well–pleased with the unrighteousness.

⁸ And, the fourth, poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given unto it, to scorch mankind with fire; ⁹ and mankind were scorched with a great scorching heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who had authority over these plagues, and repented not to give him glory.

²⁰ Bless Yahweh, ye messengers of his,––Heroes of vigour, doing his word, To hearken [again] to the voice of his word;

¹⁰ and he spread it out before me, and, it, was written, on the front and the back,––and there were written thereon, lamentation and sighing, and wailing.

¹⁴ Are they not, all, spirits, doing public service,––for ministry, sent forth, for the sake of them who are about to inherit salvation?

¹² The first, Woe, hath passed away, lo! there come, yet, two, Woes, after these things.

¹⁴ The second Woe, hath passed away,––lo! the third Woe, cometh speedily.

³ And they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And, no one, was able to learn the song, save the hundred and forty–four thousand, who had been redeemed from the earth.

⁶ And I saw another messenger, flying in mid–heaven, having an age–abiding glad–message to announce unto them who are dwelling upon the earth, even unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people,

¹⁷ And I saw one messenger, standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying, unto all the birds that fly in mid–heaven,––Hither! be gathered together unto the great supper of God,––
