And the land that you now see ruling shall be a trackless waste, and people shall see it desolate. But if the Most High grants that you live, you shall see it thrown into confusion after the third period;[a]

and the sun shall suddenly begin to shine at night,
    and the moon during the day.

    and the stone shall utter its voice;
the peoples shall be troubled,
    and the stars shall fall.[b]
