After these years shall my son Christ die, and all men that have life.

And the world shall be turned into the old silence seven days, like as in the former judgments: so that no man shall remain.

And the most High shall appear upon the seat of judgment, and misery shall pass away, and the long suffering shall have an end:

But judgment only shall remain, truth shall stand, and faith shall wax strong:
