New Testament

2 Esdras 5:3-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

3. The land that you now see holding sway will have no one left to walk upon it, and people will see it desolate.

4. But if the Most High grants that you live, you will see it thrown into confusion after the third period of time. The sun will suddenly start shining by night and the moon by day.

5. Blood will drip from wood, and stones will speak out. Peoples will be troubled, and natural courses will be changed.

6. A person no one on earth expected will come to power, and birds will migrate together.

7. The sea of Sodom will cast up fish; it will utter sounds in a voice that many don’t know, but all will hear its voice.

8. Chasms will open up in many places, and fire will be shot forth frequently. Wild beasts will roam beyond their territory, and women will give birth to monsters.

9. Salt waters will be found in sources of freshwater. Friends everywhere will begin to fight each other. Reason will be hidden, and intelligence will go into hiding.
