17. And it happened, that when I had heard it I stood up upon my feet, and hearkened, and, behold, there was a voice that spoke, and the sound of it was like the sound of many waters.
18. And it said, Behold, the days come, and it shall be that when I draw near to visit them that dwell upon the earth,
19. and when I shall make inquisition of them that have done hurt unjustly with their unrighteousness, and when the affliction of Sion shall be fulfilled,
20. and when the seal shall be set upon the world that is to pass away, then will I show these tokens: the books shall be opened before the firmament, and all shall see together:
21. and the children of a year old shall speak with their voices, the women with child shall bring forth untimely children at three or four months, and they shall live, and dance.
22. And suddenly shall the sown places appear unsown, the full storehouses shall suddenly be found empty:
23. and the trumpet shall give a sound, which when every man hears, they shall be suddenly afraid.
24. At that time shall friends make war one against another like enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with those that dwell therein, the springs of the fountains shall stand still, so that for three hours they shall not run.
25. And it shall be that whoever remains after all these things that I have told you of, he shall be saved, and shall see my salvation, and the end of my world.
26. And they shall see the men that have been taken up, who have not tasted death from their birth: and the heart of the inhabitants shall be changed, and turned into another meaning.
27. For evil shall be blotted out, and deceit shall be quenched;
28. and faith shall flourish, and corruption shall be overcome, and the truth, which has been so long without fruit, shall be declared.
29. And when he talked with me, behold, by little and little the place whereon I stood rocked to and fro.
30. And he said to me, These things came I to show you this night.
31. If therefore you will pray yet again, and fast seven days more, I shall yet tell you greater things than these.
32. For your voice has surely been heard before the Most High: for the Mighty has seen your righteous dealing, he has seen aforetime also your chastity, which you have had ever since your youth.
33. And therefore has he sent me to show you all these things, and to say to you, Be of good comfort, and fear not.
34. And be not hasty in regard of the former times, to think vain things, that you may not hasten in the latter times.
35. And it came to pass after this, that I wept again, and fasted seven days in like manner, that I might fulfil the three weeks which he told me.
