XXXVII.

For at that time the trumpet shall sound, and awake

‹ Section 36 Section 38 ›

those

that

sleep

from

the

lowest

parts

of

the

earth

,

righteous

and

sinners

alike

.

And

every

kindred

,

and

tongue

,

and

nation

,

and

tribe

shall

be

raised

in

the

twinkling

of

an

eye

;

and

they

shall

stand

upon

the

face

of

the

earth

,

waiting

for

the

coming

of

the

righteous

and

terrible

Judge

,

in

fear

and

trembling

unutterable

.

For

the

river

of

fire

shall

come

forth

in

fury

like

an

angry

sea

,

and

shall

burn

up

mountains

and

hills

,

and

shall

make

the

sea

vanish

,

and

shall

dissolve

the

atmosphere

with

its

heat

like

wax

.

The

stars

of

heaven

shall

fall

,

the

sun

shall

be

turned

into

darkness

,

and

the

moon

into

blood

.

The

heaven

shall

be

rolled

together

like

a

scroll

:

the

whole

earth

shall

be

burnt

up

by

reason

of

the

deeds

done

in

it

,

which

men

did

corruptly

,

in

fornications

,

in

adulteries

,

and

in

lies

and

uncleanness

,

and

in

idolatries

,

and

in

murders

,

and

in

battles

.

For

there

shall

be

the

new

heaven

and

the

new

earth

.
