GREAT EARTHQUAKES

^{LUKE 21:8-19}

 AND HE SAID, 

TAKE HEED THAT YE BE NOT DECEIVED: 

FOR MANY SHALL COME IN MY NAME, 

SAYING, I AM CHRIST; 

AND THE TIME DRAWETH NEAR: 

GO YE NOT THEREFORE AFTER THEM. 

BUT WHEN YE SHALL HEAR

 OF WARS AND COMMOTIONS, 

BE NOT TERRIFIED: 

FOR THESE THINGS MUST 

FIRST COME TO PASS; 

BUT THE END IS NOT BY AND BY. 

  ^{THEN SAID HE UNTO THEM}

NATION SHALL RISE AGAINST NATION, 

AND KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM: 

AND 

GREAT EARTHQUAKES 

SHALL BE 

 IN DIVERS, PLACES,

 AND FAMINES, AND PESTILENCES; 

AND FEARFUL SIGHTS 

AND 

GREAT SIGNS 

SHALL THERE 

BE FROM HEAVEN.

BUT BEFORE ALL THESE,

 THEY SHALL LAY THEIR HANDS ON YOU,

  AND PERSECUTE YOU,  

DELIVERING YOU UP 

TO THE SYNAGOGUES, 
AND INTO PRISONS, BEING BROUGHT BEFORE 
KINGS AND RULERS 

FOR MY NAME'S SAKE.

AND  

IT SHALL TURN TO YOU 

FOR A TESTIMONY.

SETTLE IT THEREFORE IN YOUR HEARTS, 

NOT TO MEDITATE BEFORE

 WHAT YE SHALL ANSWER: 

FOR I WILL GIVE YOU 

A MOUTH AND WISDOM,

 WHICH ALL YOUR ADVERSARIES 

SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO GAINSAY NOR RESIST.

AND YE SHALL BE BETRAYED 

BOTH BY PARENTS, 
AND BRETHREN, AND KINSFOLKS, 

AND FRIENDS; 
SOME OF YOU SHALL 

THEY CAUSE TO BE PUT TO DEATH

AND YE SHALL BE HATED OF ALL MEN 

FOR MY NAME'S SAKE.

BUT THERE SHALL 

NOT AN HAIR 

OF YOUR HEAD PERISH. 

IN YOUR PATIENCE POSSES YE YOUR SOULS. 

LOVE
