P. 113
Look Out for Yourself
You must look out for yourselves. They will oppress you. Lay hands on you.
Persecute you and deliver you to the Synagogues leader to be scourged. You
will be hated by this nation because of my name. They will bring you before kings
and governors for the sake of my name and they will judge you. I will be a
testimony to them. Treasure my words which you have been taught in your
hearts. Do not try to learn what to answer. I will give you a mouth and wisdom,
which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand. Do not worry beforehand
what you will speak. Do not think of anything to say except what is given you in
that very hour. Speak that which you perceive at that moment. It is not you who
speak but the Holy Spirit will speak through you. You will be delivered up even by
your parents, brothers, sisters, relatives even your friends. Not a hair of your
head will be lost. By your belief and patience, you will save your souls to life
eternal.
Day of Vengeance
There will be great distress in the land and wrath to this people. They will fall by
the edge of the sword and they will be taken captive to every country. Jerusalem
will be trodden under the feet of the Romans. Let those who are in Judea flee to
the mountain in Galilee. In that day let those who are within Jerusalem flee. Let
him who is working on the mound not come down to take anything out of the city.
Those who are in the fields do not turn back to enter Jerusalem to take his
clothes.
When you see, Jerusalem surrounded by an army then know that its destruction
is at hand. You will hear of human waste accumulating in the holy place as
spoken by the Prophet Daniel. I say to you at night two will be in one bed. One
will be taken and the other left. Two men will be in the field. One will be taken
away and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the hand mill. One will be
taken and the other left.
Woe to those who are with child and to those who give such in those days!
Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. These are the days
of vengeance spoken by the prophets so that everything which is written will be
fulfilled. As it happened in the days of Lot they were eating, drinking, buying,
selling, planting and building. The day when Lot and those who were with him
emerged from Sodom, the Lord sent down a rain of fire from heaven and
destroyed them all. Remember Lot’s wife. His apostles asked him our Lord to
what place will they be taken? He said to them wherever the carcass is there will
the scavengers gather. Before all these issues my gospel of the Kingdom of God
will be preached throughout the world to all nations. I will be a testimony to them.
