3. The country that you now see ruling the world will lie in ruins, with no inhabitant or traveller there.
4. After that, if God Most High lets you live long enough, you will see that country in confusion. The sun will suddenly start shining at night, and the moon in the daytime.
5. Blood will drip from trees; stones will speak; nations will be in confusion; the movement of the stars will be changed.
6. A king unwanted by anyone will begin to rule, and the birds will fly away.
7. Fish will be washed up on the shores of the Dead Sea. The voice of one whom many do not know will be heard at night; everyone will hear it.
8. The earth will break open in many places and begin spouting flames. Wild animals will leave the fields and forests. At their monthly periods women will hear monsters.
9. Fresh water will become salty. Friends everywhere will attack one another. Then understanding will disappear, and reason will go into hiding,
10. and they will not be found even though many may look for them. Everywhere on earth wickedness and violence will increase.
11. One country will ask a neighbouring country if justice or anyone who does right has come that way, but the answer will always be ‘No.’
