speak again, and not only the earth will shake,
but the heavens also. Then will the earth “reel

bases; islands will suddenly change their
location in the midst of the sea; from the level
plain will arise the precipitous mountain;
rocks will thrust up their ragged forms from
earth’s broken surface; and while the voice of
God is reverberating through the earth, the
direst confusion will reign over the face of
nature.
To show that this is no mere conception of the
imagination, the reader is requested to mark
the exact phraseology which some of the
prophets have used in reference to this time.
